Nijmegen Shopping Tips by ptitetoile

"De snoepkraam" on the square (grote markt): Buying "gevulde koeken" on the market

The gevulde koeken (cakes with almond fulling) are one typical speciality of the Netherlands and since I bought it for the first time in Nijmegen and in Amsterdam, I can't go there without eating at least one or bringing some to my friends in Brussels (especially Bridget) who are fond of it!!!!
You can find them everywhere, in the supermarket, in the bakery... but there, they are really excellent! You can find also all kinds of sweets :-)

What to pay: 50 eurocents each

Address: Big central square (grote markt)

SPS: For elegant and dynamic women :-)

This chain shop is to be found in almost every town in the Netherlands and it is my favourite because it offers very often original, trendy but also elegant clothes...It is the place where I bought my favourite orange trousers with big flowers :-)
