Shopping in Amsterdam
Edit ThisCarveme.com
George Bird Artist
Kalverstraat:
Kalverstraat is probably the oldest and most famous shopping street of Holland.
It’s history goes back to the 14th century when this part was transformed into a cow market. The Kalverstraat and it’s surrounding streets Heiligeweg and Spui offer everything in trendy and fashionable clothing, shoes, perfumes, and special gifts and souvenirs.
Magna Plaza:
Just as Paris has it’s Galeries Lafayett, and London has it’s Harrods, so too Amsterdam has it’s Magna Plaza. And if shopping emporiums of international allure demand a prestigious address, then surely the Dutch deserve the honors. Where else would you house more than forty specialty shops, but in a hundred year old monument next door from a palace?
The Museumkwartier:
The museumkwartier is the most fashionable shopping area of Amsterdam. It encompasses shops located at P.C Hoofdstraat, van Baerlestraat and Hobbemastraat. The museumkwartier is especially known for it’s top-of-the-range fashion. Here you will find all the famous international labels like Max Mara, Marina Rinaldi, Giani Versace, Prada, Hugo Boss, Armani and Ermenegildo Zegno. Really shopping in the museumkwartier should be part of your visit to Amsterdam.
Nieuwedijk:
In the historic heart of the city, between central station and Dam square, you will find the Nieuwedijk. Despite it’s name Quarter Nieuwedijk is de eldest shopping streets of Amsterdam! Nowadays, this is the best street to be for the trendy young ones, where trendy arise. You will find over 60 fashion retailers.

Bloemenmarkt
Edit ThisBulbs at Amsterdam Flowermarket
photo by: Jorg Jensen
The Bloemenmarkt or flowermarket at the Singel has a wide selection of flowers, plants and herbs for home, garden or balcony. It is nice to look around and check out the great selection. You might consider picking up a sack of seeds to grow those wonderfull Dutch flowers at home. This is really a nice site to just walk past. You don't have to buy flowers to enjoy them. You can also just sit on one of the terracces and just marvel the colors for a while. Just beautiful colors all around you! Buy bulbs in the season only, so from july till christmas. Loose bulbs are better more..

Department Stores
Edit ThisAmsterdams oldest and grandest, if not cheapest, department store is the Bijenkorf, overlooking Damsquare at Damrak 90. But like the Amsterdammers say: you shop at Bijenkorf but you buy at the HEMA, the much cheaper little sister of the Bijenkorf. There is a Hema on the Haarlemmerdijk and one in the Kalvertoren, near Muntplein.
Another option is the V&D, also near Muntplein, on the Kalverstraat, with a great selection and relatively low prices.
