Antique Marketplace & Cafe

Perhaps the best antique market in Amsterdam. There are around 60 different stalls within this relatively large antique market. The stalls are rich. The market offers some treasures for the antique hunters. All the shop keepers do not attend their respective shops everyday. Rather it is like a guild. The prices are all tagged. Usually, there is no place for bargains. The attendants can sell the stuff from the shops where the shopkeepers are not around. It is possible to pay by bank card and receive a receipt. This is one of the reasons why the prices in this market are 20-25% higher than usual.

Worth the visit for tourists as well. Want to buy a souvenir from Holland? Forget about plastics or cheap items which will be discarded in time anyway. In this antic plaza, a kind of a bazar, you’ll see historic curiosa. Items you can get attached to, to take a part of your travel experience and a part of the country with you back home. Real entique Dutch tiles, priced from €10,- and on. Or stamps, coins, or other curiosa like vintage (sun) glasses, art and many other memorabilia.The entrance can be located on the Elandsgracht. Time to spend here, about 15 to 30 minutes.

Found this gem on our first trip to Amsterdam, great place! Lots of little stalls selling all kinds of bits and bobs. Will definitely be back next time we're on holiday there! Friendly staff that were very helpful and knowledgeable.
