Living in Staatsliedenkwartier en Landstraten, Alkmaar
Staatsliedenkwartier en Landstraten is a quiet, predominantly residential neighbourhood in the southern part of Alkmaar. The neighbourhood takes its name from streets named after statesmen, such as Thorbeckestraat and Huygensstraat, and from the Landstraten that connect to the surrounding area.
