Lastagne | Nieuwmarkt

Lastagne is the name of the neighbourhood between Nieuwmarkt, Waterlooplein and Oosterdok.

Waterlooplein | Waterloo Square is located in the centre of town, in between Rembrandtplein and the Plantage district. On the square you’ll find a flea market from Mondays to Saturdays, and the area used to be home to famous Dutch painter Rembrandt. 
If you are heading over here from the Munt direction, walk through Staalstraat to check out Droog Design, a must-see for lovers of Dutch design.

Other nearby spots include China Town and the Nieuwmarkt: an old town square that hosts an organic farmer’s market on Saturdays, and a flea market on Sundays in the summertime. Between Nieuwmarkt and Oudeschans you will find a beautiful area with small streets and narrow canals.

Valkenburgerstraat
On Valkenburgerstraat, which runs from Waterloo Square to Prins Hendrikkade, you’ll find a number of renowned interior design brands on one side of the street, and up-and-coming design projects on the other side.
