Oh how looks can be deceiving...I've dropped by twice, and not one warm smile welcomed me. Not one word was uttered. Cold.

The wife needed a few pairs of longer socks for our next country of Ireland which is colder than most of Europe right now, especially at night. They only had a small selection of the high socks and not the right size, but settled for a pair of sandals for 1.3€ - what a deal. We've been to several Primarks in the United States but the size of this one is overwhelming. FYI: this was NOT a paid attraction in Amsterdam.

From the outside, it seems it would not be big; however, to my surprise, there are multiple levels and sectioned for any and everything you can think of. Men/Women/Children's clothing, accessories, makeup, etc. It was like a maze! Needless to say, for that reason I was inside far longer than I anticipated. One thing they have in common is the same great prices. I guess that may be a company standard worldwide, which is a good thing! I purchased an adorable bucket hat and a few other accessories as keepsakes.

Besides one or two months, they're there throughout the year. It's pretty large and stretches on either side of that long pond in that area in front of the Rijksmuseum. The main thing is that the pond there is also ICE* Amsterdam (giant outdoor ice-skating rink) takes place, and it was decided that the Market couldn't be opened at the same time as it. If you're planning a museum day in the Museumplein Park area where the Van Gogh, Rijks, Moco, and Stedelijk museums (and then some) are, I would recommend trying to go on a day the Museum Market is there. They're right in the center of it all, so on top of all of the museums, it's a convenient way to get a look at local artists, designers, and food vendors. It makes for very convenient souvenir shopping as they have a HUGE range of art fashion, accessories, jewelry, household stuff, toys, and miscellaneous little things that I enjoyed a bit more than what I found in the surrounding museums' souvenir shops. If you're looking for food, there are a few food vendors with small things. We were actually coming from the Van Gogh Museum and were attracted to the food carts. Besides the usual sweets and baked good stands, I finally got the chance to try bitterballens and there was this Mr. Brasa barbeque stand that we found pretty interesting. There isn't really a lot of benches/tables, but there are a few. Overall, fun addition that I definitely think you should include in your Amsterdam museum-hopping plans.

**This review is about the washrooms in the shopping center.**…read more We were out and about when nature called. There weren't any public washrooms, excluding those outdoor urinals ("pee curls") that only men can really use, and an employee of a nearby shop directed us to the Magna Plaza shopping center. There were washrooms on the second floor of the shopping center, but it cost €1. But when you have to go, you have to go, and I figured since they were charging to use the facilities, it would at least be a clean and comfortable experience -- when you pay for something, there are certain expectations. To get to the entrance of the washrooms, there were two turnstiles. I went to one turnstile, but it was cash only and I didn't have any cash on me, so I went to the second turnstile that accepted credit cards. However, there was a group of fucking tourists, paying by cash, blocking the credit card only turnstile, while they took their sweet time trying to figure out the currency. I finally managed to get into the washroom, and there was no toilet paper! Seriously, if I have to PAY to use the toilet, there better damn well be toilet paper! Thank goodness I always carry napkins and tissues with me and I wasn't taking a shit! I then went to wash my hands, but there was a MALE employee in the WOMEN'S washroom, and he was blocking the sinks and wouldn't let me wash my hands! I was able to find the handicapped washroom and wash my hands in there, but there was no paper towel. This one of the worst public bathroom experiences I have had (that did not include bodily fluids or excrement everywhere). If I have to pay, I expect the basics such as toilet paper, paper towel (or at least a hand dryer), and the ability to wash my hands! [Yelp collections: Europe 2024; Amsterdam, the Netherlands]
