The 10 Best Shopping in North Holland Province, The Netherlands
Mostly jutting northward from its largest city of Amsterdam and its capital of Haarlem, the Noord-Holland region has much more to offer beyond those two wonderful cities. At Muiden is the magnificent Muiderslot Castle, as if it stepped out of a fairy tale. Showing more wear but no less interesting is Brederode Castle at Santpoort. At Zaanstad is Zaanse Schans, one of Holland’s top tourist destinations and a family-friendly open air museum of windmills, traditional buildings, crafts and shops.

A truly immersive experience and a chance to take amazing pictures of art that will look great weather you’re a professional or just an Instagram-er. It is quite a way from the center we found getting an Uber (€12 euros from Amstel) the easiest way to get there. I’m so glad we decided to visit the experience makes you feel like a big kid, there’s also no pressure to move to each room in any particular time which I really liked. My only advice to anyone going would be don’t go back on yourself in the room with the marshmallow looking ball pit, when you’re done taking photos in here put your shoes back on then head to the confetti room. Staff weren’t too impressed that we dragged confetti into the wrong room (& rightly so sorry!) Overall 10/10

I wish the UK had a Hema. We travel on the ferry and always in the past 10 years went to Hema for our breakfast it’s cheap and the food is lovely. I usually have what we call in Uk a cheese pasty sorry Greg’s but these way outshine you. The cakes also scrumptious I always end up making a utter hog of myself. It’s not a huge department store there’s a small food part, and clothes. The makeup I love too I always stock up on nail polishes, make up brushes, eye products and foundations. All products are very reasonably priced. The lady toilet attendant was rude but I think she’s probably separate to the store. I love the sweets and biscuits which I bring back home. Please don’t ever close.

The city's largest street market is just south of the city center.

This is a hidden gem and a must visit place. One of the longest markets in Europe, it offers a fascinating array of food and produce, all at some amazing prices. Be it the fresh Stroop waffles, the grill cheese sandwiches, fresh fruit juices, strawberries with the most delicious whipped cream ever... this place has something for everyone! Oh... did I not mention the cheese?! Some of the most amazing cheese that we've ever tasted! We also got some great souvenirs and found them to be relatively cheaper. The stall owners are friendly and helpful and very welcoming. The market itself is easily accessible from the metro station and is marked easily. Just google the directions and you'll be there in no time at all. This is a must visit place and cannot be missed at all. Just remember its closed on Sunday!
