Staying in Springweg and Wijk C
These are two separate pockets of the center, so check the address before booking. Springweg runs south from the Mariaplaats side of town, while Wijk C lies north of Vredenburg. A room near one does not put you next to the other. Springweg makes a useful starting point for southern canal walks; Wijk C gives you a shorter approach to TivoliVredenburg and the streets around the northern Oudegracht.
