10 Best Shops in Amsterdam | Condé Nast Traveler

"From the hippest magazines to the most cerebral journals, this veteran hometown book chain’s packed Spui flagship sets a mighty high bar with its world-class newsstand. Inside, endless nooks and crannies heave with literary, design, and science tomes—meaning that, for sheer breadth, it’s hard to beat. Books come in all languages, though the English, Dutch, and French sections are particularly rich. On the magazine front, too-cool-for-school lifestyle mags like the Paris-based travel icon Holiday nestle alongside the latest indie ‘zines—a nod to the chain’s punkier early days." - Clodagh Kinsella

Very nice bookstore in both Dutch and English. They have a selection of niche magazines too. I could stay here all day. Inspring place!

A charming bookshop with a good variety of books in both Dutch and English. It’s always enjoyable to browse around and get lost in the words of great authors.

A truly independent book store that has a wide variety of magazines, zines, art books, and books! You can easily get lost exploring the multiple rooms, and will likely be leaving with at least one book (and plenty more titles to add to your to be read list). The staff were amazing, and I hope to visit again or find them online!

A bookshop were you will get lost, but at least there are a lot of sofas and books to keep you company while you find your way to the door. The interior is the creation of a mad man. Up, down and middle floors all connected together. It has a nice section with discounted books in one of the down levels. Weird books and various items give the shop a more “independent” kind of style.

We already knew that Spui area is a book stores area, but we didn't expect to have Athenaeum just next to The American Book Center. It was so convenient! Athenaeum carries a huge selection of books as well, and the people here are very friendly and helpful to find me the book that I was looking for. Definitely will be back on next trip.
