Amsterdam Shopping
|
|
Many people visit Amsterdam just
for the shopping. The entire downtown area is loaded with a
wide variety of shops ranging from designer boutiques to funky
novelty stores. Shopping in Amsterdam is unlike anywhere else.
When in Amsterdam, you’ll get the distinct feeling that
you are in one giant outdoor shopping mall. The shops around
the Dam are a great place to start. Here you’ll find a
number of specialty shops in addition to De Bijenkorf, |
Amsterdam’s largest department store. Along the pedestrian
only Nieuwendijk-Kalverstraat you’ll find smaller clothing
stores and the majority  of
souvenir shops. You’ll find the best deals on Dutch made crystal,
pewter, and furniture. Diamonds are reasonable priced as well in
Amsterdam. Amsterdam is known for its flea markets. In fact, the
city hosts, De Pijp, the largest outdoor market in Europe. There
are plenty of other markets around the city including Westermarkt
(located on Westerstrat) and Nordermarkt (located in the Jordan).
