De 9 Straatjes is a charming shopping district in Amsterdam, translated in English called the 9 streets, because this shopping area is spread out over 3 times 3 streets after each other starting at Reestraat and ending with Wijde Heisteeg. They are all located between the Singel and Herengracht canals.

These 9 streets in the Unesco-listed canal area, lined with stunning quaint facades, are known for their unique boutiques, vintage stores, and independent shops, as well as its many cafes and restaurants, some with lovely terraces by the water. The area is also home to a number of art galleries, and is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike.
