Amsterdam Shopping
There are many areas to wander through the shops together. This city is famous for antiques, books, diamonds and quirky items. The Nine Streets are great for reasonably priced goods, the Museum Quarter (near many of the Museums) for higher end shopping and if you are looking for more vintage items try Jordaan.
The Nine Streets
This Nine Streets is a great pedestrian area that you can spend hours and hours wandering in an out of the shops. Everything from high end department stores to quirky little boutiques and markets.
I was really happy there as there were massive amounts of shoe stores! All on sale! I picked up 2 pairs of Birkenstock sandals for 1/2 the price I would pay at home!
This is a great showing the shopping area of the Nine Little Streets (9 Straatjes).
Vintage Shopping
There were a number of vintage or second hand type shops in the neighborhood of Jordaan.
Vintage Shop in Jordaan
This store was right down the street from our favorite breakfast spot - the Pancake Bakery. Don't miss this!
You will also find markets on Saturdays and a fleam market at Noordermarkt on a Monday in Jordaan.
For other shops that offer vintage treasures, look for Spiegelbeeld and Laura Dols in the Nine Streets area. For more information check out this About.com article on Vintage Clothing Stores in Amsterdam.
Amsterdam Shopping, the Museum Quarter
The Museum Quarter is where you will find the higher end and more couture shops like Ralph Loren, Chanel and Louis Vuitton. Just take a trip to the P.C. Hooftstraat and wander the shops. Who knows, you may see someone famous!
