Dapperbuurt: Amsterdam's Multicultural Market Neighbourhood
The Dappermarkt, running daily along the Dapperstraat, was voted the best market in the Netherlands in 2007. Stalls sell everything from Surinamese spices to Turkish bread to Dutch herring. This market defines the Dapperbuurt, an Amsterdam-Oost neighbourhood of about 9,755 residents that has evolved from a 19th-century working-class area into one of the city's most diverse districts.
The housing stock is predominantly pre-war, with characteristic Amsterdam School brickwork in several blocks. The Oosterpark lies to the south, the Tropenmuseum to the southeast. The neighbourhood has undergone gradual gentrification while maintaining its multicultural character. Restaurants and small shops reflect the mix of backgrounds: Moroccan, Turkish, Surinamese, and increasingly international.
Amsterdam Centraal is about 3 kilometres west. The Amstel station is roughly 1.5 kilometres south.
