Oud-West

The Oud-West district of Amsterdam roughly covers the length of the Overtoom, a major thoroughfare, the length of Kinkerstraat, a major shopping street and the areas between these two parallel streets.

It is a borough containing much gentility nearer to the Vondelpark and some poorer areas at the far end of Kinkerstraat. It has a population of about 33,000 inhabitants (in 2007).

Daily market

At the Ten Katestraat you can find the bustling Ten Katemarkt. It is a bit hidden in a shopping street (Kinkerstraat). The market is not that big. It has around 130 stalls selling various fabrics, foods and clothing. A small section of the market continues on the other side of the Kinkerstraat. Open from Monday until Saturday.
