Is Nine Streets (De 9 Straatjes) worth it as a couple?

Worth itAs a couple

As a couple, Nine Streets (De 9 Straatjes) works.

The most photogenic, walkable shopping stroll in the city — every canal-bridge crossing is a postcard and the independent shops are genuinely good. The catch: it's compact and increasingly touristy, prices are high, and it's a browse-and-coffee outing rather than a half-day.
