About Slotervaart
Where to stay in Slotervaart
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
The Arc is entered on the record here, and it says most of what a traveller needs to know: Slotervaart is built for living and working, with the visitor rooms gathered further in toward central Amsterdam. Museum Het Broekerhuis is here. So is the Arminiuskerk, a short way from Jacob Marisplein 20.
Anyone drawn to the churches and the museum of Nieuw-West can sleep in the city and come out for a morning.
About Slotervaart
What are the main landmarks in Slotervaart?
Churches dominate the list. The Verrijzenis van Onze Heer Jezus Christuskerk and the Arminiuskerk are both entered for Slotervaart, and Museum Het Broekerhuis adds the single museum the quarter carries on the record. Beside them stands The Arc.
Jacob Marisplein 20 completes what Amsterdam lists for this ground.
What is the history of Slotervaart?
Boundaries changed twice. Slotervaart was constituted as a district of Amsterdam in 1990 and held that standing for two decades, until the reorganisation of 2010 dissolved it into the stadsdeel Nieuw-West. The name survived.
Under it the record still keeps the Verrijzenis van Onze Heer Jezus Christuskerk, the Arminiuskerk, Museum Het Broekerhuis and the listed address at Jacob Marisplein 20.
Where is Slotervaart?
Nieuw-West gathers Slotervaart into itself, a stretch of level Amsterdam ground where Jacob Marisplein 20 and the Arminiuskerk stand among the housing.
