On the other side of Dam Square, Kalverstraat begins, continuing the same shopping theme as Nieuwedijk with shoes, clothing and gift shops. Off Kalverstraat, hungry or weary shoppers can take a detour down Sprui, where many cafes and fast food restaurants await.
Continuing down Kalverstraat will bring shoppers to the Flowermarket, where tulips, narcissus and bulbs are available, export-ready. P.C. Hooftstraat is the street in Amsterdam where the nicest boutiques are located. Travellers on a budget may just want to stick to window shopping in this area.
Speaking of window shopping, there is always the "window shopping" of a different variety going on in the Red Light District for those who grow weary of looking at clothes.
