Nope, it does not run up there but goes east-west. You can pick it up at the Leidseplein.

Sorry, I did not understand your question.

Nope, its a good 10 minutes on the tram, not walkable really.

If you go take a bus to haarlemmerplein, when you cross the bridge (lots of traffic lights) take a left on the Wittenstraat, its a nice street. There are some interesting (more modern) buildings around there and old ones as well.

I just google street viewed it (I appreciate it doesn't compare to the real thing) and I hated it, I really dont care for modern Amsterdam, personally I'd rather walk down the next road (De Wittenkade) along the canal.

I may have meant the Wittenkade actually, but really there are a few very interesting more modern areas in those two blocks

I used to feel the way you did, but have gained an immense appreciation for Amsterdam's varied architecture, especially some of the social wonen estates.

A new museum dedicated to Amsterdam's city planner of the 50s-70s just opened.

agree 100%, i love old architecture, have used ajax arena car park a few times, & as soon as your out of metro tunnel (centrum) it is UGLY, just travelling through block upon block of cheaply built flats layed out in a grid, old architecture is what makes amsterdam so nice, im sure thats why rotterdam is nowhere near as popular as it could be being nederlands 2nd city, similar to coventry, i bet if it hadnt been destroyed in ww2 it would attract more visitors, instead they go to places like oxford

Really?? How can you not find the Amsterdam School (1920s) architecture compelling to look at?

I think there are some amazing buildings of that type, many outside of the center.

As for the 60-80s stuff, I agree its not quaint or pretty. But in the context of the times, and in the context of the goals of the buildings (living spaces, communities, not just flats) I like it. Compare it to the same architecture in other European cities of that time and it does not look so bad.

In the end, they cannot build old-style houses in modern times.

id written a detailed reply marco, but when i hit submit it said critical error & deleted

long story short, thats a lovely building, modern architecture imo started in 1940's since then its all about building as cheap/quick as possible, which means not using bricks because some1 has to be paid to lay them,
imo breeze blocks & plasterboard are the evils of architectue & i would never buy a property built after 1930's (in london anyway),
my other reply was much better using the woolworth building in manhattan, & gherkin in london as examples, but i cant be arsed to re write
