Antiekcentrum Amsterdam — Local services in Amsterdam

Situated on the site of a former Peugeot garage, Antiekcentrum Amsterdam, with 1750 square meters (18,800 square feet) of floor space, is Netherlands's largest indoor market for antiques. Inside is a maze of passageways with numerous dealers and display cabinets offering everything from bric a brac to precious antiques. It has entrances on both Elandsgracht and Lijnbaansgracht and is open daily, with the exception of Tuesdays.

It was largely due to the centre's owner and a number of legal challenges that set the scene for the go-ahead of Sunday shopping in the Netherlands.

Despite its size, the Antique Centre has a comfortable and cosy ambience. The number of goods on offer is huge, everything from chandeliers, clocks, collectables, curiosities, furniture, jewellery, militaria, mirrors, porcelain, posters, tins, tobacciana, toys, vintage clothing, weapons and watches. Haggling is a must if you want to get the best price. Most dealers are able to arrange shipping if required.

The stalls are not always attended, in which case there are strategically placed bells to summon assistance from a member of staff. A cosy cafe on the premises offers light meals, snacks and refreshments.

At weekends, there is a separate area full of individual tables from private sellers. For those wanting to sell their own goods, these can be rented at a very reasonable charge. During the Summer, there is sometimes an outdoor street market on the Elandsgracht.

A visit to the centre is like stepping through history and one definitely needs several hours to take...

A must visit if you are in AMS. If you are the antique or vintage lovers, this place will not disappoint you. It's a like a endless treasure placed at one place. Thousands of items.in place of buying plastic sovereigen ,come here and buy something real, pieces of real Netherlands. It's so big that it will take min 1 hour to explore.

Only thing miss over here is, if they give some authentic certificate or more info on items like probably date etc. It will help.however it's not a art gallery but Flea market, so do due diligence.nice clean toilet.tram no 17 will go directly to...

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%...
