The Streets of Hoorn

No endless shopping boulevard, but eight streets full of independent businesses. In the Hoornse Straatjes, you’ll find specialist shops, restaurants and businesses run by people who know their trade. Small in size, but full of character.

Shopping Hoorn-style

The Hoornse Straatjes are situated right in the heart of the historic city centre. Between the churches, towards the Roode Steen and the harbour district, eight streets wind their way, lined with shops and restaurants. These are the Nieuwe Noord, Kruisstraat, Lange Kerkstraat, Nieuwstraat, Kerkplein, Kerkstraat, Nieuwsteeg and Wisselstraat.

A narrow street, a long detour

It’s all about wandering around. Turn down an alleyway just because it looks interesting. Pop into that shop you’d actually already walked past. And why not order that coffee after all?

In the Hoornse Straatjes, you’ll find, amongst other things, clothes shops, jewellers, specialist shops, hairdressers, restaurants and cafés. Artisan businesses also have a place here.

You’re welcome to bring a concise shopping list. Sticking to it is another matter.
