De Negen Straatjes or the Nine Streets

Author: Anothertravelguide.com0 COMMENTS

One of the most charming shopping spots in Amsterdam: nine small parallel streets on both sides of a canal (between Singel and Prinsengracht), linked by postcard-pretty little bridges that are normally lined with bikes "parked" by most shoppers. The first floor of practically any building is occupied by a shop or a café; you will find everything, from an antique shop (Fifties-Sixties, 5 Reestraat), 1940s-1950s vintage clothes (Laura Dolls, 6-7 Wolvenstraat), the best of Belgian design and Viktor & Rolf (7 Huidenstraat) interior objects (H.J.Van de Kerkhof, 9-11 Wolvenstraat, in this location since 1939 and specialising in curtains and drapes), home design (Ozenfant, 3-5 Huidenstraat), cosmetics (Skins Cosmetics, 9 Runstraat) and cakes (Pompadour, 12 Huidenstraat) to the best cheese shop in Amsterdam (De Kaaskamer, 7 Runstraat) and Brix Food'n Drink (16 Wolvenstraat), a stylish cafeteria serving only snacks. De Negen Straatjes neighbourhood has been there for more than 300 years; however, in the 17th century this was the location of the city's furrier shops. Some of the streets are still named after various animals: Wolvenstraat (Wolf Street), Barenstraat (Bear Street) etc.
