It's been a long time since I did a tour of the 9 streets in Amsterdam. Most of the nice quaint shops have disappeared.
Too bad because that's what I came for. They have made way for many glasses shops, a really ridiculous number.
Furthermore, more small catering establishments. Expensive fancy dress shops where there isn't a chicken in sight. With the exception of the 2 vintage shops.
Nothing special anymore. Lots of tourists, especially young people, cyclists passing through. Not nice to walk. On the bridges of several canals there, people are queuing to buy mega syrup waffles for €7.50, for example! Or fries.
I really thought, what have I gotten myself into, get out.
Walking along the canals and exploring the other back streets is always fun in the Jordaan.
Furthermore, Amsterdam really disappointed me because of the many (young) tourists, demonstrations on the Dam and the noise.

What I love most about this area is that it was away from the crazy busy area of the Dam and other very busy places.
Take a short walk down the paleisstraat and once you hit the canals you have arrived! Clothing ranges from vintage to designer. There are price tags to meet all budgets. There are a lot of independent shops which feels good to support. I recommend King Louie - stunning stunning stunning clothes!
There are a number of artisan coffee houses and restaurants ranging from French, Italian, Asian and Dutch to name a few. We eat at Nooch which is an Asian restaurant. The food was amazing - i highly recommend!
So, take a nice walk around here as you will not be disappointed, there is something for everyone.

Definitely a Recommendation. You can stroll comfortably through the streets and enjoy the small shops with idiosyncratic and beautiful things. Shopping and strolling are fun here. No big chains, no hustle and bustle. It's fun to go to the shops everywhere or just eat a coffee or a cake somewhere. Definitely worth it and a must for visitors to Amsterdam.

This is a pretty little neighborhood of nine short streets located near the Jordaan district and the Anne Frank House. It is easy to walk in thirty minutes or less. Allow more time it you want to visit the shops or one of the many cafes.
Nice canal views from some of the bridges.

This area comprises nine small streets with various shops selling clothing, food, art, and more. Some expensive shopping but also some at the other end of the scale. Probably best for window shopping.
Lots of tourists.

One of the neat areas of Central Amsterdam to spend time is Negen Straatjes (Nine Streets) situated between Raadhuisstraat (north) and Leidsegracht (south).
Here you find 9 quaint streets stretching the width of the Canal Ring, providing a nice browsing, shopping an dining area within the city.
The various streets are lined with boutique shops, small cafes, coffee shops and speciality shops. It is a charming scene and location to enjoy downtime in Amsterdam.

I love the 9 little streets. It is my favourite area in Amsterdam. There are cafés hand in hand with small speciality shops. Take your time in this area and enjoy the atmosphere. For a an excellent apple tart try Café Nielsen (Berenstraat 19) or for homemade chocolate heaven try Chocolaterie Pompadour (Huidenstraat 12). And if you enjoy this area, write a review so we can get this area higher up on the TA ranking list.

I love this bit of Amsterdam. It feels like an "old city center" in many other places would feel. The buildings aren't as wide apart and old and new seem to blend quite well.
The only thing I didn't like so much is that, compared to a visit several years ago, I felt like there were more brand-name shops and less small independents.

We love to walk here every time we are in Amsterdam. It's a trendy, but touristic shopping area like most of old Amsterdam, and located close to another interesting neighborhood, the Jordaan, as well as the Westerkerk (where Rembrandt is buried) and Anne Frank House.
The "9 Straatjes" (9 narrow little streets) is littered with little boutiques, gift and art stores, restaurants and cafes. There's no defined border between neighborhoods and one easily wanders from one into the other, all equally picturesque with beautiful facades and canal views, especially on a sunny day. It's like walking through living history.
The neighborhood lies between 2 canals (Single and Prinsengracht) and is bisected by 2 others (Keizersgracht and Herengracht) and is easily walkable from the Dam Square.
Watch out for bicyclists many go very fast even with occupied child seats attached to the handle bars.
