Shopping street Van der Hooplaan
Stroll along Van der Hooplaan in Amstelveen and you'll quickly see why locals love shopping here: this shopping area has been around since 1959 and packs two compact strips with specialty shops, places to eat and plenty of personal attention.
Heading for a fresh Italian focaccia or homemade tiramisu, stop by Lunchroom Italy. Can't decide on a flavour? At IJssalon Da Vinci, a display window on the facade lets you see what's in the tubs before you've even reached the counter.
For pastries with a story, head to Banketbakkerij Arnold Cornelis, known for its Yoga cake, while De Kazerie welcomes you into a world of artisan cheeses, cold cuts and homemade dishes. Beyond that, Van der Hooplaan brings together fresh-food specialists, home and interior shops, and everyday essentials in one place.
