A travel guide to the best places to visit

Original and vintage clothing: The Nine Streets / Haarlemmerdijk

In the historic canal district of Amsterdam, within walking distance of Dam Square and Spui Square, you can find The Nine Streets (De Negen Straatjes). On the map the Berenstraat and Wolvenstraat mark the middle of the nine streets.These nine charming streets have beautiful and cosy vintage shops and boutiques with a wide array of styles and trends. The shops here have a more unique and personal atmosphere. It’s no surprise many art galleries also settled in these comfy shopping streets. At Meet The Cities we certainly recommend visiting the Nine Streets for a more intimate and relaxed shopping experience.

East of Amsterdam Central Station you will find the Haarlemmerdijk. This is a long shopping street with random shops, trendy stores, second-hand clothing shops and independent labels. There are also plenty of places to sit down and have a bite. The street is a charming mishmash of shops.
