The prosperous city district of Oud-Zuid (Old South), part of the borough Zuid, has the city's most fashionable shopping streets: PC Hooftstraat, Van Baerlestraat and Beethovenstraat. Don't miss Cornelis Schuytstraat and its trendy boutiques and home stores for a special Dutch outfit or gift.

Top attractions

On Museumplein (Museum Quarter), which belongs to Oud-Zuid, you'll find all top museums close to each other: Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Stedelijk Museum, Moco Museum and Diamond Museum.

Other big attractions in this posh district are the Vondelpark and Concertgebouw.

Every Saturday the zuiderMRKT - a small, cozy, weekly market, which is organised by enthusiastic residents who live in the Oud-Zuid neighborhood - takes place at the crossroads of Jacob Obrechtstraat and Johannes Verhulststraat.
