Amsterdam the Shopping Capital
Amsterdam is undeniably the shopping capital of the Netherlands. From trendy to antique Amsterdam has everything to offer and what makes it even more enjoyable is the different personalities that emerge from each of the city's main shopping districts.
Dam Square Area
De Bijenkorf, a popular Dutch department store somewhat comparable to the American Bloomingdale's. The many mainstream stores of the nearby Magna Plaza shopping center (behind the Royal Palace) are open seven days a week until 7 p.m. and until 9 p.m. on Thursdays
Pieter Cornelisz (P.C.) Hooftstraat
Amsterdam's mini Fifth Avenue, located in the Museum Quarter neighborhood, is home to high-end classics (Chanel, Gucci, Hermés, Louis Vuitton), jewelry (Chopard, Cartier) and lifestyle stores, as well as several boutiques selling more luxury labels. Azzurro at 142 is the city's only retailer of Christian Louboutin shoes.
De Jordaan
Best for discovering hidden treasures in a funky Amsterdam area. It's fun to spend an afternoon getting lost in the maze of tiny streets in the heart of the bohemian-yuppie Jordaan neighborhood, where you'll stumble upon second-hand stores, artist's studios, small boutiques and galleries.
Kalverstraat
This pedestrian-only street and its adjacent alleys and "Kalvertoren" shopping center feature a mix of chain clothing stores (Esprit, H&M, Mexx, WE, Zara), dozens of shoe stores, Dutch staple stores like HEMA and a pricey, chic department store, Maison de Bonneterie.
