You will struggle to resist the large variety in shops. From large, well known chain stores and clothing shops to small, speciality boutiques. For kids there will be more than plenty of variety in the large toy stores. Is it beautiful and extraordinary decorative articles or gifts you are looking for? You will be at the right address with several speciality stores and if it is shoes, books, bags, clothes or jewellery you need, you can also eat your heart out in Hoorn!
Fortunately the shops and stores are regularly alternated with lunch rooms, cafes, ice cream shops, snug eateries and restaurants.
The famous Hoorn shopping circuit starts in the Kleine Noord. Here you will find valued clothing shops, with mainly family businesses and a number of specialty shops. On the Grote Noord you will mostly find the larger, country wide chain stores while the Gedempte Turfhaven and the Gouw distinguish themselves by the predominant presence of speciality shops. The streets found in between are organised as the Hoornse Straatjes. Here you will also find many speciality stores and little crafty shops.
