The main shopping street in Amsterdam is called Kalverstraat. It starts at Dam Square and continues for miles. You'll find all sorts of shops here, ranging from department stores to boutiques. Whatever you want, you can get it here. A pair of Levi's? The new Michael Jackson album? A nice Rolex? And there are also loads of places to eat here. But don't expect anything too fancy.
Oh and expect crowds. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Kalverstraat

Kalverstraat is the longest shopping street in Amsterdam. It starts at Dam sqaure and goes all the way to Muntplein. Although its not my favourite shopping street I always start here when shopping. There are so many shops it's terrible ;-) My favorites are Esprit and Mexx, as well as many others. If you turn right at Heiligeweg, you'll find some more exclusive shops, and even more when you continue on Leidsestraat, which will lead you to Leidseplein.
Avoid the street like the plague on Saturday and Sunday. The street is so crowded, it's not much fun then. I prefer shopping on Tuesday morning, when there is hardly anyone. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: Kalverstraat is the street in between Rabobank and P&C.

If you’re in the mood for a little shopping visit the Kalverstraat, an outdoor shopping center/street about ten blocks long.
Here you’ll find everything from the latest fashionable shoes to toothpaste and more. The people-watching alone is worth the visit. Leave a Comment

Traditionally, shops and markets are closed all day Sunday and Monday mornings. Normal shopping hours are 09:00 or 10:00 to 18:00 (17:00 on Saturday) although some are now beginning to stay open later in the evenings and about half of the shops on the main shopping streets are even open on Sundays. There is late-night shopping on Thursdays until 21:00, when most shops on the main streets are open.
The main shopping areas are the Leidsestraat between the Leidseplein and Spui, and the Kalverstraat and Nieuwendijk, leading from the Munt Tower via the Dam to near the Central Station. There are large stores near the Munt Tower (V&D and Hema), and at the Dam (Bijenkorf and Magna Plaza). There is a large supermarket behind the Palace at the Dam, open until 22:00, even Sundays.
The Jordaan and the streets around it contain many small interesting individual shops. The PC Hooftstraat and district, near the museums, contains many of the more chic shops.
There is an interesting daily clothes and second-hand market around the City Hall and Opera (trams 9, 14, 51 to Waterlooplein there is a busy cosmopolitan food and clothes market in the Albert Cuypstraat (trams 4, 6, 10 and 16. The flower market on the Singel (between the top of the Leidsestraat and the Munt Tower) is not to be missed (trams 1, 2, 4, 5, 9, 11, 14, 16, 24, 25.
Buying food in supermarkets is straightforward, with one exception: buy the milk in blue cartons. The red cartons are buttermilk (karnemelk), which is probably not what you want. Theme: Other

We bought butterballs, called Ballistics to do in the bath ! They smell delightful and it is good to relax, breath in, stay there for 20 minutes for the full effect.
You can buy them in all kinds of collours and smells.
Yu can also buy other products, as hand made soaps and bath products, massage bars, hair care, body care, and so many other cosmetic products.
The shop is so interesting and you can smell it from outside ......
This is the massage bar I bought : "Wiccy Magic Muscles" . You can use it for aching the muscles.
Have a Wiccy Magic Muscles on hand for all runners, cyclists, aerobics fans, swimmers, gardeners and anyone who's been moving house, lifting heavy boxes or working too long and hard in front of their computer. Leave a Comment

This bookstore claims to be the finest English speaking or at least American bookstore in Europe. Having travels throughtout Europe, I have to agree with that claim. There are more titles available here than any other bookstore that I have dropped into in Europe. If you forgot to bring along a book to read while either staying in Amsterdam or to keep you company while traveling through Europe, well then this is a place to go.
Books. A wide variety of title available. It is particularly strong in non-fiction books especially history. Leave a Comment Theme: BooksAddress: 185 Kalverstraat, 1012 XC AmsterdamPhone: 020-535-25-73Directions: Kavlerstraat is the main pedestrian street mall in Amsterdam.Website: www.abc.nl

The street dates from end of 14th century and was originally an old highway. Farmers drove their cattle along the road to a market at the Dam. Eventually the cattle market outgrew the Dam and was moved to the highway, which was renamed "Kalverstraat," or "Street of Calves".
Now it is Amsterdam's busiest shopping street with many shops, boutiques and department stores offering a variety of goods and food. Since September 1997 it has a modern shopping mall - De Kalvertoren. Cafe on the top of the tower has one of the best views in Amsterdam.
It is up to you, from abt. EUR 5.- for some present to hundreds or even thousands of Euros for clothing or Jewellery. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: Centre

The two shopping streets Kalverstraat and Nieuwendijk are a shoppers paradise. But go during the week if possible, Saturday is insanely busy, it's impossible to enjoy the shops when you're getting pushed and shoved along the street! It's a like a sea of people and you can't but go with the flow. Shops are open sunday 11-5 as well.
Also forget shopping on Damrak and Rokin, there's nothing there but expensive tourist traps. They're normally listed as two main shopping streets as well but I wouldn't bother- I was really dissappointed.
