Hi Raqueli,

For little boutiques and vintage shops it's the best to go to the Nine Streets. It's an area in the center of Amsterdam, and you wouldn't need a map (about every one knows this area, so you can just ask people on the streets). Furthermore you also have the market on the Waterlooplein, where you can find lots of second-hand and vintage stuff (from about €1 to €15 for a piece of clothing). And of course we have the Kalverstraat (again, you can ask everyone) for all the chain stores like H&M, Zara, Mango, The Bodyshop, etc. You can walk to all of these places from the Dam (which is about the actual center of Amsterdam).

Have fun, it's a nice city to explore!

Best wishes,

Renée
