Not long ago, I was writing this post about why the Eastern part of Amsterdam makes a great area to live in.

I am now coming back to this subject as I do believe that the East is becoming the new West! And by this I mean that the East is catching up in coolness with that part of the city which is currently considered the trendiest: the West.

Besides, the East has the advantage of being a very architecturally diverse area and – even better – it is not exactly a hotspot for the tourist crowds.

These being said, I now invite you to take a look at this “mood board” I made, so that you get into the special atmosphere that only the Eastern parts of Amsterdam can offer.

Enjoy!
