Amsterdam Oud-Zuid

{{unreferenced|date=August 2025}}[[Image:Map NL - Amsterdam - Stadsdeel Oud-Zuid.png|Location|right|250px]] '''Oud-Zuid''' (English: '''Old South''') is the name of a neighbourhood and of a (larger) former [[Stadsdeel|borough (stadsdeel)]] of [[Amsterdam]].

==History== The borough was formed in 1998 by merging the former boroughs of [[Amsterdam-Zuid]] and [[De Pijp]], lying southwest and south of the centre of Amsterdam. In 2010, the borough was merged with [[Zuideramstel]] to form the borough [[Amsterdam-Zuid]]. On 1 January 2005 the borough had a population of 83,696. It included some of the richest neighbourhoods in Amsterdam, most of which were developed at the end of the 19th century.

==Neighbourhoods== The following neighbourhoods were included in the borough Oud-Zuid:

From the former borough of [[De Pijp]]: *[[Oude Pijp]] *[[Nieuwe Pijp]] including the [[Diamantbuurt (Amsterdam)|Diamantbuurt]]

From the former borough ''Amsterdam-Zuid'' (as it existed from 1990 to 1998): *[[Apollobuurt]] *[[Hoofddorppleinbuurt]] *[[Museumkwartier (Amsterdam)|Museum Quarter]] *[[Duivelseiland (Amsterdam)|Duivelseiland]] *[[Schinkelbuurt]] *[[Stadionbuurt]] *[[Willemspark (Amsterdam)|Willemspark]] *[[Vondelpark]] (park)

The area [[Prinses Irenebuurt]], which was part of the former borough of Amsterdam-Zuid, was not included in Oud-Zuid, but added to the borough [[Zuideramstel]] which was also created in 1998.

Before 1990 in popular usage amongst Amsterdammers, "Oud-Zuid" referred to a much smaller area: the Museumkwartier (incl. Duivelseiland) and the Willemspark area. The City of Amsterdam used the term "Oud-Zuid" to refer to a larger area which also included De Pijp and the Schinkelbuurt.

==Destinations== Popular tourist and cultural destinations are located in the borough of Oud-Zuid, including: * the [[Albert Cuyp Market]], which is held on the Albert Cuypstraat * the [[Vondelpark]]: a {{Convert|47|ha|acre|abbr=on}} park containing an open-air theatre and until April 4, 2012 the museum of the [[EYE Film Institute Netherlands|EYE Film Institute]] * the [[Stedelijk Museum]] and [[Van Gogh Museum]], as well as the [[Rijksmuseum Amsterdam]] are located on the [[Museumplein]] ('Museum Square') * the [[Heineken Experience]] located in the former [[Heineken]] brewery * the [[Concertgebouw, Amsterdam|Concertgebouw]], a concert hall located on the Museumplein
