A five story Primark store in the heart of Amsterdam and provide an escalator or elevator for the…read morejourney up. 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.

I stumbled on this Primark while exploring the endless canals. I had no idea they have stores…read moreoutside of the states. 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.

I have walked by INC fashion before on the Herenstraat and finally decided to go in since I was in…read morethe neighborhood. And boy am I glad because they have so many beautiful things! INC has both women's and children's fashion. For the women, everything is high end, great quality, but not crazy expensive. You can find high quality items at reasonable prices from fabulous coats, dresses, shirts, skirts, pants, and beautiful jewelry. For the children, the clothing and accessories are adorable! Now I have my go to place for baby/children's gifts for my friends since I don't have kids. Lastly, the service is amazing! The owner Pascale is friendly, kind, and helpful - which is usually very hard to find here in Amsterdam. Will I go back? ABSOLUTELY! This is now my spot in Amsterdam where I can shop for myself and for gifts.

This little shop has everything you could possible need and at a very affordable price point. I was able to purchase a new top, underwear and snacks to keep me going until my flight the next day. They have everything from baggage tags and scales to bras to toys to phone cases! Seriously everything! You can find them on the departures 3 side of the Schiphol airport (before security).

In true 'Cristina' fashion, this River Island store was the first shop I visited after landing in…read moreAmsterdam. For context, River Island clothing stores don't exist in the US, but I find myself shopping online using their app often. Before my trip, I purchased a pair of jeans that didn't fit (can someone explain how a US size 2-4 translates to a UK size 10?!) and realized I couldn't return them from the US. Instead, I tracked down a River Island store near Dam Square and set out on a quest to get my $50 back lol. So, back to the review... I stopped by just in time since the store is actually closing down this month. Almost everything was on sale, from swimwear to formalwear. I got a gorgeous summer dress for 10€ (originally €65) and a cute pair of corduroy pants for 10€ (originally €40). I was also able to process my international return with the lovely cashiers who were VERY patient as they processed a return for merchandise sold to me in GBP, charged to my card in USD, with a mandatory return to my card of EUR. Say that 3 times fast. Enough to confuse anyone, but they made it happen without any complaints (and we had a good laugh about it afterwards). If you're roaming around Dam Square and need some retail therapy, visit River Island before they close!

He insisted upon supplying me with an additional band (for free) fitting it, and giving me the old one, noting: "we ensure a proper experience in this shop." Professional, knowledgable, and very friendly; I have nothing but good things to say about my experience. I will certainly go back for my next watch.

Monki is one of my favorite stores in the Kalverstraat. The bright neon lights might give the…read moreimpression of a lame clothing store when you pass by, but that's not what this place is. Monki is really awesome. It is a Swedish brand, from the same owner as H&M. I would describe their style as; basics with a twist, edgy, hip and colourful. They use a lot of colour, also colourblocking, interesting fabrics. They have a lot of stuff that is oversized. Also a lot of things with nice prints. Shoes, bags, socks, underwear and very cool jewellery. Inside, the shop also looks really cool and the girls shopping here do as well. This place attracs a young hip,almost hipster crowd. Girls who love to combine vintage with new stuff. The staff at this place is also very friendly and helpfull. Monki's prices look like the prices at H&M, so it is not expensive.
