Centrum

Four centuries at your doorstep

The canal belt is a UNESCO World Heritage site, but it's still very much a lively place where people live. A Centrum address puts theaters, restaurants, markets, and both main railway stations within easy walking distance. Truly, no commute in Amsterdam is shorter.

Living in the Centrum

Life here revolves entirely around the water. You can expect seventeenth-century canal houses with steep stairs and beautiful natural light. Enjoy the morning quiet before visitors arrive, along with neighbors who have totally perfected the art of living above a busy street.
