Amsterdam has great department stores and shopping malls. They offer unique choice of products with imports from Asia, Latin America and Africa. The best choice is offered by De Bijenkorf (The Bee Hive) located directly at the Dam square. Except for one (Villa Arena), all department stores and shopping malls in Amsterdam are located within a short walking distance from the Dam square. You may compare their actual choice within couple of hours. Shopping in Amsterdam may save you time and effort. If you like your shopping indoors, or if it happens to be raining you can always visit one of the shopping malls in Amsterdam: Magna Plaza (on the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, again near the Dam square) or the Kalvertoren (on the Kalverstraat).

Private Amsterdam Canal Cruise
Hiring a private boat and guide to cruise Amsterdam’s canals isn`t a cheap endeavour, but it`s much more romantic than sitting next to strangers and their three teenagers on a massive group boat. Aboard one of the quaint "saloon boats," you can enjoy a private dinner or just sip champagne as you float along Amsterdam’s waters.
