Concierged Boutique ApartmentsNEIGHBOURHOOD GUIDE YAYS NEIGHBOURHOOD GUIDE 1 WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBOURHOOD! Welcome to Amsterdam! Your resident’s experience begins with this booklet full of local shops, restaurants and things to see and do. We leave the Red Light District, Wax Museum and Royal Palace to the tourist guides. Instead, we’ve made a selection of truly unique places our neighbourhoods have to offer. With this guide in your pocket, you can wander off the beaten path and come out the other end with a smile.

Therefore we combined the special experiences and heritage of a city neighbourhood with the luxury of a ‘concierged boutique apartment’ in characteristic buildings with a story. Yays creates the conditions for our guests to unlock the hidden treasures of that neighbourhood. In that sense we want to give every guest the feeling to be a resident.” ~ Peter Heule - CEO Yays ~ YAYS NEIGHBOURHOOD GUIDE 9 BICKERSGRACHT If Amsterdam is more like a village than a city, then this holds especially true for Bickerseiland, just northwest of Central Station. Surrounded by canals and crossed with charming narrow streets, Bickerseiland offers that unique piece of quiet in a city storm. Stay on the island if you’re looking to take it easy or head south to the lively Haarlemmerdijk with its many cafes, boutiques and restaurants and the markets on Noordermarkt, Lindengracht and Westerstraat. Go west for a stroll – or run – in Westerpark or east to discover the architecture and hidden restaurants of the newly built Westerdok. YAYS NEIGHBOURHOOD GUIDE 11 ZOUTKEETSGRACHT Tucked away to the northwest of Central Station lies the Zeeheldenbuurt. Named after great Dutch seafarers, this is a part of town you won’t find in many tourist guides. Not yet, that is. It’s a true resident’s neighbourhood with lots of local restaurants and coffee shops. Watch the ships sail by on the river IJ, jump on a bike and visit the monthly Sunday Market in the nearby Westerpark or catch an art house movie in Amsterdam’s oldest and oh so charming movie theatre The Movies. Leave the city guide at home and wander through the streets as if you have always lived here.
