★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Oudemanhuispoort formerly formed the entrance to one of the first senior citizen homes in Amsterdam, now the complex houses the University of Amsterdam law faculty. In the passage way there are a few side entrances, one to the law faculty courtyard, sometimes open to visitors. The passage way is still home to a book market, started by Jewish booksellers in times long past, where even Vincent van Gogh visited. The old booksellers are gone since WW2, but their places have been taken over and business continues to this day.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is one of the many University of Amsterdam locations in the city. Some of their humanities departments are located here. The location is quite nice, however it is enormously difficult to find the exact location of the building or the room you are searching for. The signs are not very helpful either. You can however spent some relaxing minutes in the inner court, which is quiet and very pleasant. And you will have the chance to observe the Amsterdam student life on the spot.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Love the location of this university. It's sometimes difficult to find the correct room but u think that's what gives it charm, lots of little corridors and stairs. And the smell as you go upstairs towards the legal library, is amazing.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Hidden in the centre of Amsterdam lies a hidden gemstone; the Oudemanhuispoort of the University of Amsterdam. An oasis of tranquility and learning. With it's beautiful historical structure and nice garden it's a place to cool down and sort your mind.
And when you want a quick bite you will get a culinary experience you will not forget quickly, within the central hall is hidden away a small cafeteria called the 'Amsterbammetje'! With a down to earth Amsterdam attitude everything you see is prepared with love and served with a smile.
It maybe an old building but the hygienic standard is kept up to a high levels by Victoria Schoonmaak and all its wonderful hard working cleaners.
Come and see for yourself, you will not be disappointed!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A must go visit place for book lovers when you are in Amsterdam. Many tiny bookstores ard hidden in this gorgeous alley that leads the way to a faculty (Humanities) of the University of Amsterdam. Pockets, literature, fiction, art, in English, French, Dutch and many other languages.
Bring enough pocket money and a large bag as many books are only 1 euro.
To get there you need to cross a fairly steep bridge, so come prepared and bring company with you.
The historic buildings and the serenity of the place, mixed with student life buzz gives you a real travel vibe.
