Magna Plaza

by sue_stone

The Magna Plaza was built in 1899 and was formerly the main post office.

Today it has been converted into a grand shopping centre, selling clothing, accessories and gifts.

Well worth a wander around.

Magna Plaza (Old Post Office) - Amsterdam

by micas_pt

After visiting Dam Square, walk through the street that stands between Royal Palace and Nieuwe Kerk. That will lead you to Magna Plaza (Old Post Office), an amazing building that was formerly a Post Office and is nowadays a shopping centre. This was Amsterdam's first shopping centre in 1990. Whether you intend to do some shopping or are just walking around take some time to observe Magna Plaza since building is beautiful and worth it.

Magna Plaza is open every day except holidays:
> Sunday: noon to 7pm
> Monday: 11am to 7pm
> Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday: 10am to 7pm
> Thursday: 10am to 9pm

	Magna Plaza (Old Post Office): Not quite Gallerie Lafayette! Tip Rating:

The interior

by ChrsStrl

The building is a pretentious neo-Gothic building of brick and white stone from the turn of the last century. Originally it was the central post office but it is now an elegant shopping centre where the central stair well, surrounded by arcaded balconies, is worth seeing.

Magna Plaza is the shopping center just behind the Royal Palace. Shops are mostly expensive fashion, but it's nice to walk-up the building and see it from the top floor.

When walking down the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal from Central Station you'll see the beautiful, reddish brick building behind the Royal Palace on the Dam Square. Once the chic post office of central Amsterdam you can enter it now for a great shop-till-drop time.

I happen to work for some Spanish fashion shoots here and we had a marvelous time with the people working in the shops inside. Great things to buy, too, so enjoy yours!!!

Shopping in Amsterdam is a lot of fun, especially because there is such a large variety in shops: exclusive brands, skate shops, tourists shops, record stores, book stores and so on. Most of the stores are located in the Kalverstraat. Luxury items can be found in Magna Plaza.

	Magna Plaza (Old Post Office): The former post-office Tip Rating:

Updated By OlafS on October 14, 2004

Amsterdam: former
post-office

by OlafS

This former post-office now houses several shops. It was designed by architect C.H. Peters who specialised in post-ofices and built these in a combination of neo-Gothic and neo-Renaissance style. This one in Amsterdam is a bit over the top, which makes it quite interesting actually. The inside is also nice to have a look at. I don't think the shops are very interesting though. Mostly clothes. There used to be a Virgin Megastore but that's gone.

The magnificent Magna Plaza nowadays is a busy shopping centre just off Dam Square (next to De Nieuwe Kerk). It was built at the end of the 19th century as the city's post office and was later transformed into a shopping centre. This beautiful building is a fine example of Dutch architecture.

Magna Plaza shopping center

by Airpunk

Magna Plaza is a modern, luxurious shopping center, installed in this former post building in 1992. Nice to see from outside and if you have enough money, you can also spend some time inside.
