Neighborhood Guide
Two hundred years ago, the site where Museumplein now stands was still home to farms. To create more living space, construction of the Museum Quarter began here at the start of the last century. The influence of architect Cuypers is evident; in addition to the first residences , he residences designed the Rijksmuseum in the Neo-Gothic style. This period is beautifully captured in Thomas Rosenboom’s *Publieke Werken*. Together with the Concertgebouw in the Neo-Renaissance style, this building defines the character of the neighborhood.
With the arrival of the Van Gogh Museum, Gerrit Rietveld’s contemporary architecture also came to Museumplein. The selection of restaurants, cafés, and shops is as eclectic as the architectural styles and fits perfectly with the neighborhood’s international allure. Haute couture connoisseurs and shoppers can visit P.C. Hooftstraat for fashion houses like Burberry, Ba&sh, and Isabel Marant Étoile. The great thing about this neighborhood is that the City Center, De Pijp, and Amsterdam Zuid—including Vondelpark—are all within walking distance.

Tamari Ya
Tamari Ya was founded by Imoto Yoshihisa and Yazawa Yuji, two Japanese entrepreneurs who started a farm-stay retreat in their village near Hiroshima and opened their first donut shop there in 2023 to revitalize their community. Out of their love for rice, they developed the komeko donut, made from rice flour from their own region and therefore naturally gluten-free. In Amsterdam, the donuts are handmade daily and fried in rice oil, without preservatives or colorants. The texture is different from what you are used to: less fluffy, more chewy, with varieties such as old fashioned or yeast-raised in flavors such as matcha, black sesame, and pistachio. The quiet, wood-dominated shop on Overtoom feels like a piece of the Japanese countryside in the city, where attention to food and the environment is central.
