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.

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).

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.

Episode will not be the cheapest second hand shop you've ever visited, but in return they select their clothes carefully and will not try to sell you bad quality. Both men and women walk out of this place a happier person.

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.

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.

If you need a shave or a trim, you will feel like a sir when walking out of Barber. Get a 'Connery' if you want a clean cut for your whole head. Or maybe 'The Dude' is more your style. Barber has a fitting treatment for all kinds of men.

Albert Heijn is not the most favorite for no reason. The fruits they sell are always fresh and good. Most shops have an in-store bakery, butcher and cheese seller. Get something fresh to go and enjoy it in a nearby park. Oh and most shops also have a shelf with products for tourists (stroopwafels etc.)

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.
