Shopping the Jordaan & Western
Canals
These are Amsterdam's prime neighbourhoods to stumble upon offbeat little
shops selling items you'd find nowhere else. Velvet ribbons? Herb-spiced Gouda?
Vintage jewellery? They're all here amid the Western Canals' quirky stores and
the Jordaan's eclectic boutiques and markets. Everything is squashed into a grid
of tiny lanes - a perfect place in which to lose yourself for an afternoon stroll.
