    The oldest shopping street of Amsterdam is Kalverstraat. It is the longest street in the center I think. Besides you can find all trade marks of the world here, in my opinion. The first mention of street dates back to 1393 (!) and you can enjoy views of the middle ages architecture.

    So we chose Rokin to walk. Here I pointed out to Cuckoo the starting point of my favourite boat tour by Rederij Kooij across from Muntplein on the other side of tbe bridge.

    Rokin has some very nice shoe shops! Jan Jansen, famous Dutch shoe designer (although he seems more acclaimed in Germany than in The Netherlands). Some very nice fashion shops too.

    I popped into the shoe shops quickly to have a look at the latest designs.

    And then there is Hajenius (see Shopping tips), the mecca of cigars and tobacco. Ther is a special atmosphere here. Almost reverend. But nobody bothers you while you go to the back of the store to see the cigar cabinets, lockers, smoking rooms and library.

    Once home of the Provos who used to dance madly round the statue to show their rebellion but it is now thought by some to be the cultural heart of the city. Various street markets turn up, including books (Fridays) and art (Sundays).

    Looked across the Rokin on the corner of Nadorststeeg and spotted this nice building of an old shipping insurance company.

    For me as a shopping addict Kalverstraat is heaven on earth!
    Loads of nice shops, including Waterstones (english bookshop) and my favourite shop for bath bombs and soaps, called Lush. Try their fantastic bathbombs -- extremely lovely!

    Het Lieverdje, In the 60ies this was the symbol of the Provo's.

    The Provo-movement was in fact the first radical movement in the Dutch Society. It was founded in the sixties.These young provocateurs were determined to attack the establishment. For some time this statue which was a gift of an American Sigaret brand was the meeting point for an anti-smoke campaign.

  • Most people can't find this small church as it's located in the busiest shopping street of Amsterdam (Kalverstraat).
    It's just a quaint little church.
