Perched on the ever-busy Damrak, across the road from the Beurs van Berlage, this representative of the European chain department store C & A is a long-time fixture on Amsterdam's shopping landscape. The budget-minded come here for clothing and accessories, while the basement caters to Generation Y and teenagers and their mothers dispute fashion tastes amid disco lighting and music. On the ground floor, there are always sales racks and those with the patience to paw through them may be rewarded with amply discounted goods.
