IJburg

A land of wind and water, IJburg is Amsterdam's newest neighbourhood, made up of four man-made islands, with even more in development. Located in the easternmost part of the city, this up-and-coming area has quickly become popular among those who love modern architecture and water sports. Locals frequent the charming neighbourhood cafes and higher-end bars clustering around the yacht haven, whilst windsurfers, swimmers and beachgoers head straight to Strand Blijburg for the spectacular sunsets and windswept views.
