About This Area
THE OLD CHURCH & NEW MARKET
This area, called de Oudezijds or Old Side, is indeed the oldest part of town. It was built before the Golden Age (17th century) and the famous Canal Belt. The church standing in the middle has something peculiar about it. It is the oldest building in the city, so it seems quite understandable that it is now called Oude Kerk (Old Church). Not all streets and canals in this area are suitable for children, avoid the so-called Red Light District.
