Breestraat (Bree Street), Delft
Shopping in Delft is said to be the best. One reason for this might be that most of the shopping areas in the Old City center are vehicle free. The underground parking helps too. Shops and boutiques are sandwiched between old monuments, squares and canals. Delft has been voted one of the top ten Dutch shopping cities annually.
Bree Street, along with Brabant Peat Market, Burgwal, Gashuislaan, and Moislaan offer a wide range of shopping experiences. From Bree Street its just a quick walk to bigger, more modern outlets located in newer parts of the town. That's if one still craves the big department store milieu.
The great variety of shops and outlets on Bree Street are surprising. There are art galleries, gift stores, fashion shops, vintage clothing stores and of course, cafes and restaurants for the hungry shoppers. The caveat here is small shops and boutiques don't always keep regular hours.
