Look for parking in de Pijp

De Pijp is one of the liveliest and bustling neighborhoods in Amsterdam, just south of the Amsterdam canal belt and north of the Rivierenbuurt. It's a district where the diversity of the capital is fully reflected, as people from as many as 150 nationalities live in this area! So, it's a lively place and a nice side effect: you'll see the same diversity on the menu of the enormous amount of eateries, restaurants, and terraces in this area. If you love delicious food from different world cuisines, then De Pijp is the place to be. We'll explain what you can do and see in De Pijp, what the nearby surroundings have to offer, and - not unimportant - where you can park in De Pijp. 

What to Do in De Pijp

In the heart of De Pijp, you can visit the famous Albert Cuyp Market. It's a good place to stock up on fresh products like cheese, roasted nuts, fish, bread, and flowers. You'll also find a lot of clothing and, of course, a syrup waffle stand. Want to buy some souvenirs? You'll find plenty of those on the market as well. 

For those who prefer to leave the hustle and bustle behind, a visit to the tranquil Sarphatipark is recommended. Sports enthusiasts can run, play volleyball, table tennis, and basketball there, and you can relax on the grass fields or by the pond. You can also visit a working monumental polder pumping station, and for children, there's a play forest and a playground.

Another well-known attraction in De Pijp is the Heineken Experience in the north of the neighborhood. Here, you can learn everything about the beer-making process and discover more about the famous beer manufacturer. 
If you're a culture enthusiast, in the east of De Pijp, you can visit Cinetol, where emerging bands take the stage. Theater CC Amstel is right across from Cinetol and hosts about two hundred performances annually. 

Regardless, you shouldn't miss out on enjoying delicious world cuisines in De Pijp. With an enormous amount of eateries and restaurants, it's a true paradise for foodies. 

What to Do Around De Pijp

A leisurely walk through the lively De Pijp can easily fill a morning or afternoon. However, this district is also centrally located, making it very easy to explore other parts of the city from here. You can, for example, park in De Pijp by putting your car in a parking garage in De Pijp, then travel on foot or by public transport towards the city center or towards the museum quarter in Amsterdam-Zuid. 

Here, you'll find three well-known and interesting museums: the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, and the Stedelijk Museum. Additionally, there are smaller museums in the area, such as the modern art museum Moco Museum Amsterdam and the Diamond Museum. The Concertgebouw is also located here. Culture enthusiasts are in the right place here. 
From the Albert Cuyp Market, it's about a half-hour walk to the Royal Palace on Dam Square. That might sound like a considerable walk, but considering that you'll stroll through the beautiful canal belt and potentially visit sights like the photography museum Foam along the way, you'll understand that walking through the city is truly enjoyable. If you find it too far to walk, you can simply switch to public transport after parking in De Pijp. 

Parking in De Pijp

Can't wait to visit the lively De Pijp? Then you probably want to know where you can park in De Pijp. As you can gather from this description, De Pijp is a cozy neighborhood with many traffic-calmed streets. You can try to find a spot along the street, but they are quite scarce and incredibly expensive.

We recommend reserving a parking space in the De Pijp parking garage instead. You can easily arrange this in advance via Parclick. It saves money and a lot of stress, as driving around for a long time looking for a parking space doesn't make anyone happy.

The centrally located De Pijp metro station takes you to Amsterdam Centraal Station or Amsterdam-Noord in no time with metro line 52. Tram 3 also runs through De Pijp. If you're heading to the museum quarter, it stops at the Concertgebouw.
