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!

Polaberry looks absolutely delicious. I might have to do some extra cycling to make room for another unicorn pop, but it would be worth it. I love how walkable Amsterdam is.
I have to admit, not a big shopper. One of these blokes who only goes into the shops if he knows what he wants, he he. But this is a great guide for those who want to splash the cash and there is no other better city than Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Been to the city about nine times now and love the foodie scene but have I brought anything there……maybe the odd postcard and a beer for the train to my next destination in the country 😀
While I explored this area the last time I was in Amsterdam, I didn’t know it was called the nine streets of Amsterdam. I love all of the details you’ve provided here, and I’ll definitely have much more insight during my next visit!
I wish I knew this before I visited Amsterdam last spring. I think I was in the area but didn’t know where I was.
You would probably find me in Episode! Wow, they might have treasures I can find there!
Oh, I love how detailed this is! We never made it out of the airport last time, but we definitely hope to go back. Even if we do not go into a store, window shopping and walking these types of districts is one of our favorite things to do while in Europe! PLUK and POLABERRY would absolutely be on my list as a sweet “must try”!
How fun! I’ve only been to Amsterdam for day trips before, so I never really had a chance to explore the city. I really need to go back and check out these shops.
My husband and I spent one layover in Amsterdam to visit with friends and it wasn’t long enough. I’d love to go back and explore, as well as, eat some stroopwafels! The sweets at Polarberry look amazing too!
I would really wander across the infamous Amsterdam 9 streets which are known as one of the best areas in the city for chic shopping, delicious food, and lovely surroundings. It is great you shared some of the chic boutique shops in your post which makes us easier to shop here. Ou Boutique store looks great as it covers all latest trends.
What a great guide! I haven’t been to Amsterdam since right after college. I will bookmark this for when I return.
