Amsterdamse Poort

You would never know this area existed on the other side of the ArenA train/​metro stop if you never turned right out of the station instead of left. I kept thinking how funny it was that there wasn’t much around considering the ArenA (
), movie theater (
), and the concert venue (
) are right there. I mean, we need a place to eat before the show!
Well, make that left when you exit the station and find all kinds of food and shopping! It was so much bigger than I was expecting! You have grocery stores, clothing stores, electronics, jewelry, body stores, almost anything you could look for.
It’s a maze, but it has good aesthetics, is clean, and there are maps. I would just go for an afternoon stroll with maybe a snack at the Cinnabon (
) – I’m a sucker for those cinnamon buns!
