Neighborhood Guide
De Pijp was developed in the late 19th century to provide housing for newcomers who had moved to the capital in search of work. Freddy Heineken’s father opened the Heineken Brewery here in 1886. The first workers’ homes, around Albert Cuypstraat, were built quickly and inexpensively. Later, toward the Diamantbuurt, Berlage added houses in the Amsterdam School style. It is said that the neighborhood owes its name to the long, straight streets, which are shaped like a pipe.
The Albert Cuyp Market and Sarphati Park define the dynamic character of De Pijp. Artists and writers such as Piet Mondrian, Carel Willink, and Gerard Reve lived and worked here. The lively, diverse population brought many cafés and eateries to the neighborhood. Today, the neighborhood is known as Amsterdam’s Latin Quarter, still bustling with diverse restaurants such as Brut de Mer, Izakaya, and bistros like Petit Caron. And, of course, a wide selection of cozy coffee shops and brunch spots.
