Things to do in Amsterdam, North Holland Province: The Best Shopping

May 3, 2022 Renato Branum

This city, full of colorful homes, canals and bridges, is one of Europe's most picturesque capitals. Must-sees on any visitor's itinerary include the Anne Frank House, the Van Gogh Museum and the world's only floating flower market. Rent a bike and join thousands of locals navigating Amsterdam's labyrinthine streets, or just take in the sights on foot. For an unusual and memorable alternative to hotels, consider staying in a houseboat.

I admit, I'm a shopper. When I travel, I regularly check out the better department stores in the city's I'm visiting. Here in Amsterdam, it was the city's premier department store De Bijenkorf on Dam Square. A flagship store of luxury goods and top designer brands from around the globe. It's a beautiful store, that's well designed and organized, along with a helpful staff. I was very impressed with the men's department, one of the best I've seen. In addition to fashionable clothing, De Bijenkorf offers a wide range of luxury goods and services, typical of a department store of this quality. De Bijenkorf also offers tax-free shopping for those outside the EU. If you're in the mood to dine, their restaurant's offer a range of options. One of the best department stores I've ever been in.

Magna Plaza

This historic building of small shops and a Virgin Records store is THE place in Amsterdam to shop for the holidays.

Reviewed By LizHarty - St. Albans, United Kingdom

What a great discovery on our arrival in Amsterdam! The food court on the top floor of this gorgeous historic building offers a collection of food outlets and we chose Asian dim sum. The dumplings, spring rolls and gyozas were all delicious and the presentation was colourful and enticing. Much more upmarket than a typical food court in a shopping venue for sure. Not only is the architecture of the Magna Plaza gorgeous with it’s high vaulted ceiling but the building was flooded with light. The location is five minutes or less from Dam Square and we could look back on it and the neighbouring church from our table on the top floor. The collection of shops passed on the way to the food court looked enticing too but we only came for the food.
