Amsterdamse Poort — Attraction in Amsterdam

Mall area, shopping center. Whatever you want to call it. It's a nice and cozey area for you to eat, drink, shop etc.

Over the years the area has fallen into a bit of disrepair, however lately they are remodeling the place entirely.

Update: it's being extensively remodeled. The shopperhall is being updated and some facades have been mordenised.

There however still is an abundance of loitering people, not in a good way.

It has become less of a clothes/electronics shopping area and has transitioned more towards small cafe's, restaureants, takeout etc. The clothing stores are still there but theres only a few large chain stores there such as the C&A. But it's ussualy enough.

The area is well connected for public transport with quite a few hotels around. So if you are planning on landing at Schiphol, theres a direct train connection to the Amsterdamse Poort, where you are able to get a daypass for the public tranport so you can go to the city center etc. within 15-20 minutes...

4 stars – Culturally diverse shopping center with friendly atmosphere and great food options

Amsterdamse Poort is a pleasant and open shopping center with a wide range of shops, restaurants, and food spots. What stands out is its strong cultural diversity, catering mainly to visitors and residents with South American and African backgrounds. You can feel it in the atmosphere, the selection of shops, and the people.

The halal meat I bought there was surprisingly high quality. People are generally friendly, which makes walking around and shopping enjoyable. In some areas, the place has the feel of a Chinese district, blended with African and South American influences. That combination makes it a unique and colorful experience...
