This thrift store route is inspired by the cozy Velper Sneup Days and, as a result, is a route full of unusual finds, workshops and local initiatives. A wonderful route to spend the whole afternoon with and be able to spend on tracking, sniffing and treasure hunting. Thereby this shopping tour in Arnhem & Velp is easy to do by public transport but of course also suitable to do by car or bike. To make the route complete we have added some extra stops, all optional of course. So you can create your ultimate shopping itinerary. Enjoy!

Our own review
In short, a delightful route that can easily fill an afternoon. This route is also suitable to complete by public transport. Enough variety between different large and small stores, also the offer on this route is interspersed with real thrift finds and vintage & brocante. To make the day complete, we have added some other nice spots in Velp. For example, for a cup of coffee or some books.
