If your heart starts racing when thinking about a real life treasure hunt or you want to bring home a more original Dutch souvenir, visit to the Noordermarkt antique market on Saturdays or Monday’s. You can find a nice selection of items like books, Bric-à-brac, glassware, china, rugs, vintage clothing, accessories & jewellery. Every week there is new stock at the antique stands and you never know what you will find!
The market is visited by both locals and tourists and has a really nice atmosphere and you can find beautiful items on any budget. The market is on a very picturesque location, on the corner of Prinsengracht and Brouwersgracht and is surrounded by amazing cafe’s were you can rest after a successful antique hunt.
