The Haarlemmerdijk
$0
A world away from the high street familiarity of Amsterdam’s city center shopping areas, the less touristy Haarlemmerdijk exudes an independent, alternative character. Packed as it is with fashion boutiques, specialty delicatessens, trendy florists, book and record shops, art supplies stores, vintage clothes emporiums and quirky hair salons, it’s little wonder it has been rated the best shopping street in the whole of Holland. At this hip alternative shopping district, peer into the windows of more than 230 independent, specialist shops where there’s a little something for everyone from vintage fashion to kitchenware and everything in between.
