Shopping in Amsterdam

Kalverstraat is the main shopping street in Amsterdam with many of the big-name brands. But if you're looking for something a bit more unique, the Nine Streets is a charming neighborhood of independent shops and boutiques, selling everything from vintage clothing to handmade jewelry. The Albert Cuyp Market or the Waterlooplein Flea Market are also great choices for a glimpse into local life.
