Amsterdam is a popular city for the Dutch to go on a shopping spree for a daytrip. The stores offer something for everyone: Design clothes for the upper class, second hand for the fashion freaks and the regular H&M, Zara etc. for everyone. The main shopping streets in the centre of Amsterdam are Kalverstraat, Haarlemmerstraat and Leidsestraat. At 'The Nine Streets' there are a lot of small shops with design and second hand clothes. If you brought a big wallet and you're into famous brands, visit PC Hooftstraat. Bringing a souvenir from Amsterdam can be something else than a cheese, set of wooden shoes, or something that has a cannabis-leaf on it.

The center of Amsterdam is pretty, yes. And you should definitely spend a lot of time there. But area's like Bos en Lommer show you the real city. Behind the scenes. A lot of the Moroccan and Turkish people of Amsterdam live in this area and you will notice that on every street corner. On the market all the cultures are united.

HEMA is a (small) department store that sells local food, clothes and all sorts of supplies. But next to that they are also famous for their restaurant/cafeteria. The €1 breakfast and '4'o'clock' (coffee and cake) are local favorites.

A walk on this market goes like this: A typical Dutch flower stand next to one with Indian spices. One further there is Vietnamese food and his neighbor sells Italian snacks. The man that sells Belgian fries opposite to him waves at the kids of his Surinam neighbor. All these cultures move in great harmony for many years now.

Besides food and clothes you can also find antiques, textiles, flowers, instruments, movies, vinyl and much more. In other words: A proper market full of surprises. The market is located next to the Noorderkerk (church) and surrounded by many bars which make a sunny day double the fun.

Like we said: markets more in the centre inevitably focus on tourists aswel as locals. This market gives you a better idea of what a market in Amsterdam looks like. If you are staying in the East of town, visiting the Dappermarkt will give you about the same idea (slightly more touristic, though).

Concerto is a must visit for all music lovers. One of those old record stores with a squeaky wooden floor. The atmosphere is always just right and on the background plays the latest musical discovery of one of the employees. Concerto is also a stage for small performances and album presentations.

The best part is that the fitting rooms have tiny saloon-like doors that only cover the strictly necessary. So you can have a chat with your semi naked neighbor while trying on your new second hand pants. Charming.

If you are into second hand stuff and would like to bring home some nice cheap 'new' clothes, this is your place. The market is in and around two big former factories, where they used to build ships. That creates a very industrial, but definitely not cold setting.

The Sunday Market brings together all different kinds of people, fashion lovers, art lovers, families with small kids and students. It feels like you are in a separate, hip town within the city. And for you maybe most important: Get a souvenir that no one else will bring home.

The atmosphere is very relaxed, loose and DIY. The staff is very nice and friendly. And everytime you come, you get inspired by a clash of activities: in one room people are eating, in another one young jazz musicians play their ass off, young creatives relax on the terrace and you might run into people in bathrobes on their way to the sauna.
