Came here a couple of times to buy shoes, clothings, and gifts. I love that the sales associates…read moreare very helpful and not pushy at all. They have a great variety of chocolate and wine over at the cafe area. The packaging is perfect for gifting as is, but they also wrap the gifts for you in nice black, sleek wrapping paper. Of course, can't forget the signature Bijenkorf orange bow. We tried a vegan square frambozen (raspberry cake) and weespermoppen (almond cookies). The cake was melt in your mouth amazing. The almond cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but I can tell it's well made. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because the one in Amsterdam has a much wider selection in terms of handbag and shoes. My biggest tip for those shopping here if you're planning to leave the EU within 3 months: - Ask for a Global Blue VAT refund form and make sure the retailer stamps and signs it. Your order must be at least €50. - Why? Because the prices you see and pay include VAT (similar to sales tax). If the refund process is done correctly, within a few weeks you'll receive roughly 10% back. - I had it refunded directly against my credit card balance. You can get it back in a variety of methods (cash, bank deposit, etc). - Fill out the form you get and get a customs stamp. The most convenient method in my opinion is to simply get the stamp at a participating airport (Schiphol, for example), you can also drop it off at the airport. Otherwise you'll have to personally mail it. - You *must* show the customs agent an outbound plane ticket for proof of exporting the product. - Of course, make sure to read the instructions you get in its entirety. Money is money!

This store is kind of like the Macy's of Europe, maybe even better than Macy's. A high-end…read moredepartment store selling perfumes, name brand clothing, purses etc. de Bijenkorf has it all. I love stopping in and checking out their cosmetics and bath and body products. Last year I stopped in to buy gift sets from their Rituals counter for my family during Christmas time. Everyone was very helpful and they individually wrapped each gift I bought. Also during holiday season they have their own display of holiday lights which is fun to look at. Conveniently located within a few meters walking distance from the Eindhoven train station, this store is quite easy to get to.

This shopping centre makes up a large portion of the city centre in Tilburg. It also has the…read morelargest parking garage in the city, so if you plan on heading out to the city and have never been here before, I would suggest finding this place first as it will put you where you need to be and give you access to handy parking.

A massive mall nearly attached to the Central Station in Utrecht, Netherlands. It's a gateway to…read morethe city of Utrecht from the station. Being from The United States, I must admit it is quite an impressive mall. I used to have minor panic attacks walking through this to get to Utrecht Center City with all the people. Now that the Corona measures are in place, it's a lot more tamed. The parking garage is high-end. Bathrooms are attended and it has the largest bicycle parking facility in The Netherlands. It's more than a "mall" but a destination. Still generally the same stores you find in center cities all over Holland, but more of a selection. Everything you need and very few closed locations. Worth a visit. I go here when the weather is terrible outside to get some steps too! Gezellig!
