Clothing in a store on the 9 streets of Amsterdam

Nine Streets Amsterdam: A Complete Guide

Sharing is caring!

The infamous Amsterdam 9 streets (nine streets Amsterdam) are widely known as one of the best areas in the city for chic shopping, delicious food, and stunning surroundings. This area is located in the Jordaan area of the city right along Amsterdam’s iconic canal belt.

It is also just a short distance from Dam Square. The nine streets are called de Negen Straatjes in Dutch and are the perfect place to wander around, window shop, explore local boutiques, find a unique item, or grab a place to eat.

This area and grouping of streets are one of my favourite places to bring people when they visit Amsterdam because of its unique offering and all the excitement it holds.

Even if you are not into shopping, you will surely find some type of store with items that excite you! The stores range from modern clothing stores to vintage clothing stores, to home decor shops, to jewelry shops, to record stores and beyond.

De 9 Straatjes – The Nine Streets Amsterdam

I’ll give you some background on the 9 streets, just in case you are confused about what this all means. The 9 streets in Amsterdam are a collection of 9 little streets that are boxed in by the Prinsengracht, Keizersgracht, Herengracht, and Singel canals.

Thus resulting in nine little sections of streets full of shops and restaurants galore. The names of the 9 streets are displayed on the map below!
