    Bordering on the Nine Streets, Jordaan is one of Amsterdam’s most atmospheric neighborhoods—perfect for a vintage clothes shopping tour.

You’ll find a rich mix of carefully curated consignment shops, small art galleries and traditional brown cafés (bars), where locals still gather for a drink. The great variety of historical and modern establishments add depth and character, turning the tour into a full cultural experience rather than just a shopping trip.
