The Jordaan has a nice collection of small antique shops, each specializing in a period or region. It’s a pleasant area to stroll (little traffic), and windowshop. There are also art galleries in the Jordaan, around the Concertgebouw and on the Rokin. If you have more money you might want to attend an auction at Sotheby’s or Christie’s auction houses.
The Melkweg has an eclectic photo gallery worth checking out!


Dutch fashions run the gamut from 50s style plaid sport jackets to gothic black to punk to hip hop to orange everything! And of course, the Dutch are fond of American clothes, but a wave of young, talented designers is creating a new fashion scene in Amsterdam.
