Shop the Boutiques along the 9 Straatjes

Spend some time shopping at one of the unique shops along Amsterdam's 9 Straatjes (a.k.a. nine little streets). 9 Straatjes offers a great overview of the architectural style of Amsterdam's heritage. After 400 years it is still very lively with artisanal businesses, hidden cafes, hotspot restaurants and galleries, and a unique offer of specialized and authentic shops.

Nine magnificent streets make up this unique commercial district, which is located in Herengracht, Keizersgracht, and Prinsengracht, some of the city's most well-known neighborhoods. Three of the streets are located in each neighborhood. Crossing bridges over the canals to get to the other side is part of the enjoyment. You can find anything you're looking for right here. There are vintage clothes boutiques, cafés, restaurants, designer stores, and art galleries along every street. Additionally, you can find flower shops, bookstores, and jewelry stores. The streets are exquisitely decked at Christmas, adding their charming appeal. Before you enter this land of temptation, be sure to pack a camera and some extra spending money.
