The Waterlooplein flea market is located not far from the Red Light District, next to the Rembrandt House. This open-air bazaar, made up of more than three hundred stall-tents, will be the perfect place if, during your visit to Amsterdam, you decide to buy vintage items. Here you can find everything — from worn clothing, old books, military uniforms, DVDs, videotapes, and old electronic equipment to truly rare curiosities such as a hemp canvas bag, a collection of porcelain dogs, and skates with wooden bindings. Prices here vary, but overall they are reasonable.
There are always a lot of tourists here, which means scammers as well, so keep your eyes open so you do not end up without money. In addition to loafers and curious visitors, at the Waterlooplein flea market you can meet local freaks and fashionistas, serious collectors, and theater designers — the items sold at the market attract everyone.
