Known for its artsy, bohemian culture \u2013 and nicknamed the Latin Quarter (Quartier Latin) \u2013 many of the street names here are named for Dutch artists (think Vincent van Gogh and others).<\/p>\n<p>Once upon a time, more than a century ago, the area promised cheap rent and a quiet alternative to the lively central Amsterdam area.\u00a0 The area flourished with artists, students, the young, the old as well as scores of newcomers to the country.\u00a0 Nowadays, De Pijp is considered part of the city\u2019s vibrant bohemian district, overflowing with a myriad of cultures.\u00a0 Over the past 100 years or so, it has evolved from a working-class area originally built to help ease the Jordaan District\u2019s overpopulation in the 1900s to one of the city\u2019s priciest neighbourhoods.<\/p>\n<p>Similar to the cosmopolitan and neighbouring Jordaan area, De Pijp is one of Amsterdam\u2019s most dynamic and vibrant areas with plenty of lively bars, cafes, coffee shops, restaurants and shops.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BL6H1YbjutC\/<\/p>\n<p>Take an easy stroll up Albert Cuypstraat and Ferdinand Bolstraat \u2013 two main streets in \u201cThe Pipe\u201d \u2013 and you\u2019re sure to come across more than a handful of authentic, multicultural restaurants (Moroccan, Surinamese and Syrian\u2026 to name just a few).\u00a0 While typical Amsterdam pubs area also found in nearly every corner, they\u2019re just at home surrounded by Muslim butchers as well as Indian, Indonesian, Spanish and Turkish delis and grocery stores.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BL3C3EugfW8\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
