Where are houses with names of countries on them?

Post by Eurotripper »

Hello Everyone, we're trying to locate a spot from one of our walking trips around Amsterdam. Could anyone please tell us if they know where we found it? It's a group of houses where each one is styled and named for a particular country. There was a Spanish one, an English one, a Russian one (I think), and several others. It could have been in the east end, near the Dapper markt, we walked a lot around there. Any help would be appreciated as we're going again soon. Thank you. :)

Cheers, Eurotripper

Thank you to the Chelsea Charmers (and balou)! We looked by Google, but obviously not well enough. Looked on foot last May too, but we were searching out east.

I googled this pic. I was in this street once but did't notice that. Thanks CSS for that information. Next time I'll pay attention.

Yes! That's the place! Found it while strolling(stumbling) around in a coffeeshop-induced haze at 420 in 2011, and could never remember where it was. Thanks for helping with my short-term..umm...ummm......... :lol:

Apparently lots of people missed it. We asked many locals and a few tourist info people, nobody even knew about it, much less where it was. Wanted some photos this time, so we appreciate the effort ACDers! :) See you all in 4 weeks!
