Antiekcentrum Amsterdam

Hidden indoor flea market

Olya from Amsterdam

""Antiekcentrum" in Amsterdam has been around for more than 35 years, and it is, incidentally, the largest indoor antique market in the Netherlands..."

A former garage, the Antiekcentrum (Antique centre) in Amsterdam has been on the popular Elandsgracht in Jordaan for over 35 years. A few years ago, I was enjoying a beer on the sunny terrace of the Brasserie Blazer and when I went to pay my bill at the indoor cashier I noticed a small indoor shop.

As I walked in, I was surprised to discover the largest indoor antique market in the Netherlands. As a person who loves art and vintage items, this place was just mesmerizing! It has multiple entrances and somehow none of them could make me think that there would be a hidden Amsterdam gem in a 1750m2 space.

Here you can find over 10,000 objects from 55 dealers like art, bric-á-brac and collector's items. It is the perfect spot to buy unique jewelry, watches, get a small souvenir or simply wander around to contemplate the items feeling like you have traveled to the past.

I personally visit it when I need some decoration for my home like a vase or simply to walk around as visiting a museum. After your visit to the Antiekcentrum in Amsterdam, you can grab a bite at Sue or drink or dine at one of the many locations on Elandsgracht Street.
