Cadeau & Verzamelwinkel

Cadeau & Verzamelwinkel is a specialist gift and collectibles store in Alkmaar’s pedestrian Vrouwenstraat, known for a large selection of model cars, tin and wooden toys, and miniatures. The shop markets itself as a ‘winkel vol verrassingen’ with longstanding local listings and a visible storefront in the city centre.

It’s easy to reach on foot (about 10 minutes from Alkmaar NS) and is listed in local business directories. Expect a small, focused retail space best suited to collectors, gift shoppers and nostalgia seekers rather than casual browsing groups.
