neighborhood guide
At the end of the 19th century, as Amsterdam's city center became increasingly crowded, there was a growing need for a green neighborhood close to the center. On the initiative of Van Eeghen, architect Zocher designed Willemspark in 1881, which borders Vondelpark. A few decades later, the first villas were built around the ponds. Stately buildings in classical architectural styles welcomed wealthy families to this quieter and greener part of the city. The grandeur of that era is still intact today. Most of the buildings have been renovated and the avenues and greenery, as originally conceived, have matured. Both the residents and the culinary offerings of the Vlaamsch Broodhuys, chocolatier Linnick, greengrocer Wessels, Michelin-starred restaurant Ron Gastrobar, French seafood restaurant VISQUE, and several caterers give the residential neighborhood its contemporary allure. Located between the Vondelpark, Koninginneweg, and Amstelveenseweg, with the Museum Quarter within walking distance, this is a unique oasis within Amsterdam to live, where relaxation and inspiration are always close by.

This is because the dough is brushed with olive oil, water and salt before baking. Especially in Genoa, focaccia is enjoyed at every meal and that is now possible in Amsterdam.
