The Westerkerk, built in the 1600’s in the pretty Renaissance style, can be seen from all over the Jordaan with its unique facades and high tower with its colourful crown. The tower is 85 meters high and the highest in Amsterdam. During your visit you can marvel about both the out-and inside with free entrance or a guided tour. Beware that the church is only open to visits on Monday to Friday in between 10 AM en and 3 PM and from the 1st of April also on Saturday from 11 AM until 3 PM. So make sure not to go too late in the day and not on a Sunday!

Unfortunately the tower is currently under renovation and can not be climbed until 2024. Alternatively you can book a guided tour for €9 at the Oudekerkstoren to climb up to 30 meters for a great view over Amsterdam: https://oudekerkstorenamsterdam.nl/rondleidingen/standaard-rondleiding/

From there walk to the official ''9 straatjes’’area, translated in English called the 9 streets, because this shopping area is spread out over 3 times 3 streets after each other starting at Reestraat and ending with Wijde Heisteeg.
