Helter-skelter

Those houses give the impression to fall over at any minute. We found that a few of these little streets were closed for cars. In my opinion that is the best idea the Amsterdam city council has had in many years! Only bicycles and pedestrians allowed!

those houses are such fun - and definitely closing for cars is a good idea - those streets weren't designed for cars

[Diana]

Great find and shot, they do seem to lean forward.

[Lou Ann]

A wonderful street. They do appear to lean even though I’m sure it’s an optical illusion.

[Angelika van Rooyen]

Like the tower of Pisa, glad thy closed the streets, it so much nicer!

@shannejw @ludwigsdiana @louannwarren @angelikavr Thank you all for your comments! Those houses lean forward and to the side Diana and Lou-Ann ;) Shanne and Angelika, it would be better if the whole of the old city centre was car free, but that will take a lot of time for the people to accept!

[Nina Ganci]

How quaint. They do look lop-sided indeed.

Mooi Amsterdams plaatje

@ninaganci Forgive those old houses their lop-sidedness they are hundreds of years old 😉

[Jacqueline]

@ideetje Nog steeds veel leuke plekjes in Amsterdam!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

wow they are really jam-packed in!

[Peter H]

Love the look of those buildings. They should be protected.

[Jacqueline]

@koalagardens Thank you, yes I know this is a small street, lovely though

[Jacqueline]

@peadar Thanks Pad, they probably are protected. Most of these old houses are.

[Rob Z]

I love the repetitive patterns. :)

[FBailey]

They do look a little precarious - good idea to pedestrianise them

[Jacqueline]

@fbailey They are fun aren’t they, I wish I could show you around :)

[Jacqueline]

@robz It was so much fun to walk through my birth city again! 365 makes that I see everything with different eyes ;)

[Monique]

Ben het met je eens, mooie gevel

[Jacqueline]

@momamo Bedankt!
