The Museum Quarter is the area around Museumplein, just a ten minutes' walk from Leidseplein. The main museums are situated here: The Museum of the State, Van Gogh Museum and The Municipal Museum. The Concert Building can be found in this neighbourhood too. The Museum Quarter is also known for its exclusive shops. Many international clothing brands have their shops in P.C. Hooftstraat and Van Baerlestraat. And, of course, Museumplein is a great place to sit in the sun, enjoy your lunch, or just relax. This cultural area is very crowded during the day, but deserted at night. The newest city developments have taken place on the southern banks of the River Ij, on both the west and east sides of Central Station. This used to be a desolate area, with dilapidated warehouses. Now this part of town, with its great view of the river, is being completely redeveloped. Review © 2009, Wcities |
