Do you want to have the “shop till you drop” experience in Amsterdam? Make sure that you bring along with you your shopping shoes if you want to visit Amsterdam, particularly the busiest street called the Kalverstraat.
The Kalverstraat is not just a busy shopping street but one of the oldest streets as well. It was once a calves market and is now a 750-meter street allotted for all the merchandise lovers.
Start your Kalverstraat tour by visiting the Dam Square which is marked as the beginning of the shopping street. This is one of the more important land marks in Amsterdam that is worth visiting. The end of the Kalverstraat can be found near the tower called Muntorren which is located at the Muntplein Square. Aside from that, there are also other places to visit including the Royal Palace, Madame Tussaud’s Museum, National Monument, the Papegaai, Amsterdam Historisch Museum, Spuiplein, Begljnhof, and the Ambassade van Oranje. So before, while, and after you shop, make sure that you visit the said tourist attractions to have a complete visit at the Kalverstraat.
All sorts of shops can be found here in Kalverstraat. Just a few steps away from the Dam Square, there are already small stalls where you could buy female and male apparels, children’s clothes, flowers, mobile phones, and more. You could also grab a snack or two at some of the famous restaurants located within the street. There are shops where you can buy beauty products, jewellery, and more. This is truly the paradise for all the shopaholics out there.
