Insider Tips, Travel Guides for Amsterdam Tourists & Expats
One of Amsterdam's best grand cafes and a favourite here at AmsterdamTips is De Jaren. Situated right in the heart of the city centre just off Muntplein, De Jaren is a very poular meeting point for locals and visitors alike, and is usually buzzing with atmosphere. |
Opened in 1990, the cafe is light and spacious being spread out over 2 floors and also includes an outer terrace overlooking the Amstel. On the ground floor there is a wide choice of international newspapers and magazines whilst upstairs there is a reasonably priced restaurant.
Highly recommended.
The photo below shows the terrace taken on a crisp winter's day. In summer the place is busy!
