10Best Says

Formerly a post office, this grand edifice was initially built in 1899. Its ornate interior and exterior provoked some ridicule when first built, but now, the grand structure is a familiar presence in the city. Nowadays, shopping and dining venues spread across four floors, and you'll find everything from a music superstore to clothing boutiques for men, women and children. Also included are shops for accessories, home interiors, cosmetics and toys. There are many health and beauty shops at the Magna Plaza like Toni & Guy and Obey Your Body. If you're looking for a Dutch souvenir the Typical Dutch store and the Cheese store are not to be missed.
