What you'll see
A former shipyard on the north bank of the IJ, now full of street art, artists' studios, cranes, waterside cafés and old halls, reached by a free ferry ride across the harbour; a big flea market is held there some weekends (check).
A brief history
It was one of the country's biggest shipyards until it closed in 1984; artists squatted the empty halls and turned them into a creative quarter.
