Shopping in Amsterdam

Nine Streets

Nine Streets is the most popular shopping area in Amsterdam. It is located a 5-minute walk from Dam Square, and there are many boutiques of popular and little-known local brands, as well as vintage clothing, second-hand, erotic, jewelry and beauty shops.

 

Kalverstraat

The busiest shopping street in the city. There are two large shopping centers - Magna Plaza and Kalvertoren - and many stores of popular European brands: Esprit, H&M, Levi’s, Vero Moda, Zara, Pepe Jeans, Jack & Jones, River Island, etc. And there is also a large bookshop of the Waterstones chain.

Harlemmerstraat

This street will appeal to those who love everything unusual and vintage. There are small shops selling original jewelry and bijouterie, accessories, strange clothes from young designers, books, souvenirs and toys. The audience is mostly young hipsters who come not so much for shopping as to hang out in local cafes and bars. One of the most popular stores here is Nukuhiva, which sells original clothes made in third world countries (the store supports the principle of fair trade).

Utrechtsestraat

This street has been trying to compete with Kalverstraat and the Nine Streets district for the title of the largest shopping area for many years, but so far it holds a confident bronze. Among the interesting things here is the Kom kitchen salon, where you can buy beautiful designer goods for the home.

 

Outlets in Amsterdam

Outlets in Amsterdam are not rich. The most interesting (and in fact the only one) is located 150 km from Amsterdam in Roermond. It is called Designer Outlet Roermond and has over 150 brands of clothing and footwear: Nike, Mustang, Diesel, Benetton, Marc O'Polo, Miss Sixty, etc. Discounts reach 50-70%, you can get here by train from the main city railway station ...
