Shopping is one of the best pastimes in Amsterdam. Here you can find a lot of treasures in antiques, books, diamonds and other interesting pieces. At the Albert Cuyp market, the variety of things being sold cannot even match that of the biggest supermarket in Europe, plus the fact that it is quite cheap.
You can also go to Nieuwedijk-Kalverstraat where you can find a kilometer stretch of shops that sell clothing, shoes, bags, cards, perfume, and whatever product you may think of. The Flowermarket boasts of its wide array of flowers and bulbs for export. For the more expensive wares, go to the Pieter Cornelisz Hooftstraat where all the designer brands concur.
