Between Leidsestraat and Raadhuisstraat this area is known as De 9 Straatjes (The 9 Streets), named after the nine side streets connecting the main canals. Together they constitute an appealing neighbourhood full of unique shops, wonderful places to have lunch and a great atmosphere.
By the end of the Golden Age this area was built because the old town area is not enough space provided for all activities . The 9 streets literally bursted of trade, crafts and culture , and right now this is still being felt . Here one can find many traditional businesses and a variety of specialist shops. The names of the streets - like Huidenstraat , Runstraat and Wolvenstraat - remember the craft of leather processing .
