The 23 best places to go shopping in Amsterdam

The Spui Market

Artists from a diverse range of mediums, including oil, acrylic, watercolour, etching, photography, ceramics, and jewellery, sell their work at this popular Amsterdam market, also known as "Art Plein Spui." The market has a rotating group of 60 professional artists each time it hosts an exhibit.

The Flea Market at Noordermarkt

This collection of bric-a-brac is open daily, but you’ll need to get there early to get the best bargains. Don’t expect to find too many hidden gems – this flea market is a lot more ‘rustic’ than others in the city.

The Boerenmarkt on Noordermarkt

One of Amsterdam's largest organic farmers' markets is located next to the Noordermarkt flea market. Organic bakers offer all-natural breads, cookies, and pastries, while local and regional growers offer fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables, meats, and cheeses.

Stalls specialising in organic olive oils, whole grains, and various pestos may be found at the market. Colors and aromas fill the air as these components come together in a kaleidoscopic show. In the Jordaan, this is a must-do activity.

The Boerenmarkt on Nieuwmarkt

In the shadow of De Waag, a beautiful, medieval edifice that originally functioned as Amsterdam's gatehouse and then a weigh house (it's now a cafe), this city-center farmers' market has largely organic produce. Compared to the Noordermarkt, this market has a more open feel, yet touristy districts surround it.

Magna Plaza

This four-story indoor shopping mall is located right next to Dam Square and the Royal Palace in Amsterdam.

The Magna Plaza, despite its opulent appearance, features a wide variety of popular brands. Stores selling Dutch delicacies such as cheese, tulip bulbs, and wooden clogs can be found throughout Magna Plaza Amsterdam

Batavia Stad Amsterdam

More than 250 fashion brands, cafés, and restaurants can be found in this nearby lakeside outlet mall in the nearby city of Lelystad. For those on a budget, this is a hotspot for bargain hunters from across the country, with discounts of 30 to 70 percent on high-end Dutch and international brands like Polo Ralph Lauren, Hugo Boss Nike, Lacoste, Replay and Tommy Hilfiger.
