It can offer a street full of designers who sell shirts for more than the average monthly rent (and cologne for even more), or around the corner, clothing, cosmetics, accessories, and produce being sold for a euro or less. It is this dynamic that keeps shopping enjoyable and diverse. There are exclusive and up-scale boutiques and there are chain stores and clothing markets.<\/p>\n<p>Amsterdam is also famous for its uniqueness of stores. One shop sells condoms in all shapes\/sizes\/flavours one can imagine, around the corner a shop which sells only red objects, another which serves only banana drinks&#8230; It&#8217;s the town where shopping cannot get boring! Basically, there is something for every shopper in terms of type of store, style, and budget.<\/p>\n<h2>Working Hours<\/h2>\n<p>In Amsterdam, stores are generally open from 9:00 or 10:00 in the morning until 18:00 in the evening. Most stores open later on Mondays and stay open until 20:00 or 21:00 on Thursdays. In general, stores in Amsterdam are open from 10-17 on Saturdays, and about half of them are open on Sundays (mostly around the city centre).<\/p>\n<p>Markets have different opening days and hours (please see the Flea Markets section).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; el_class=&#8221;city-side-bar&#8221;][vc_row_inner el_class=&#8221;sidebar-section-two&#8221;][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Useful links&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h4|font_size:24|text_align:left&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221; el_class=&#8221;useful-links&#8221;][vc_separator color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; thickness=&#8221;1&#8243; up=&#8221;&#8221; down=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;useful-links&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"http:\/\/www.amsterdam.info\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amsterdam.info\/\">http:\/\/www.amsterdam.info<\/a><br \/>\nGeneral information site for Amsterdam with usefull links to museums, entertainment, transport and tips for visitors.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"http:\/\/www.dutchnews.nl\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dutchnews.nl\/\">http:\/\/www.dutchnews.nl<\/a><br \/>\nEnglish-language independent news website for readers in the Netherlands.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"http:\/\/www.npo.nl\" href=\"http:\/\/www.npo.nl\/\">http:\/\/www.npo.nl<\/a><br \/>\nInteractive television site that allows you to watch programs you have missed, online.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"http:\/\/en.gvb.nl\" href=\"http:\/\/en.gvb.nl\/\">http:\/\/en.gvb.nl<\/a><br \/>\nWebsite with information about public transportation in Amsterdam and the rest of the country.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"http:\/\/www.amsterdamfoodie.nl\/blog\/\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amsterdamfoodie.nl\/blog\/\">http:\/\/www.amsterdamfoodie.nl\/blog\/<\/a><br \/>\nA blog that focuses on eating and drinking venues in Amsterdam, written by a British expatriate<\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner el_class=&#8221;sidebar-section-three&#8221;][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Interesting fact&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h4|font_size:24|text_align:left|color:%23333333&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221;][vc_separator color=&#8221;#eeeeee&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; thickness=&#8221;1&#8243; up=&#8221;&#8221; down=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<table class=\"table table-condensed sidebar-section-three-table\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div class=\"fa fa-snowflake-o\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>The majority of Amsterdam is actually below sea level.
