I live about 4 blocks from this Antique Centrum and never walked inside before. Friends told me to…read morevisit and I'm glad they did. It is huge and winding with all types of items for sale. From affordable to quite pricey. It's really too much to see in one visit or in a hurry. I enjoyed looking old Delft ceramic squares. There is also a bar that is connected to it, which is quite cool. Not far from the Prinsengracht and Leidseplein by foot, bike or tram!

Absolutely love this place, you really need quite some time in here so be prepared to dive in deep…read more The space is quite large and the price range is vast. There is something for everyone and I believe the prices are somewhat flexible. There are independent stands witting the shops and plenty of people to help you and answer your questions. If your into antiques and looking for some rare finds and deal this is an absolute must in Amsterdam! I will definitely be back and ill budget in at least an hour in here.

This is the best place to get beautiful, authentic Delft porcelain in Amsterdam! I walked by on my…read moreway to the Anne Frank House and knew I had to come back to get some souvenirs. This store is not a tourist trap. Most of the pieces here are authentic Delftware. (Check the back if you're not sure!) They have every kind of porcelain you could want: tiles, dishes, statuettes, tulip vases, etc. The owner was probably about 80 years old and was following me around the entire time I was shopping to make sure I didn't break/steal anything, which was pretty entertaining. He was nice enough to wrap up my purchases for me, so I guess he didn't have any hard feelings :) 4 stars instead of 5 because the prices are pretty high. But ultimately, you have to pay for craftsmanship, and most things here are hand-painted. Everyone back home loved their gifts from this store!

This is place is an easy addition to a trip to the City Museum and its wonderful, packed with great…read morestuff, and the guy who runs it is always interesting to talk to. And when I say packed I mean really, really packed with amazing items from old, fabulous and long closed restaurants, hotels, train station cafes. My only problem is that as much as I say that I will only look I always come away with a new treasure.

After spending a few hours in the antique shops around the museum district and walking away…read moreempty-handed, I thought I'd give this shop a try. I'd passed it several times on the tram and it's mentioned in one of the travel guides I read. What a gem of a shop. It's like walking into your elder relative's over-packed attic. It's all food-related stuff, but what a range of it! Definitely things in there I couldn't begin to identify, but the shop owner is kind and happy to chat. I found a small cardboard box stuffed with old Delft tiles. Granted, I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure I paid about 25% of what they were charging for very similar ones at the upscale antique shops down the road. You can easily spend an hour in here, but take care not to bump into anything or you might get buried.

While I was in Amsterdam I Googled, "unique shops". The Otherist came up in every list so I had to…read morestop by. I had walked by this shop so many times and ironically, on my first trip to Amsterdam I stayed two doors down from it and never noticed it. I mentioned this to the owner and he said, which I agree, that part of the charm of Amsterdam is there are so many things here that you are constantly stumbling upon amazing shops and more every time you walk down the street. He couldn't be more right. The shop itself is so unique. I knew immediately that I would love it here. The items were cool and not like anything else I'd find while shopping. It's definitely not a tourist shop; it's not a t-shirt or postcard sort of place, but it features really cool home decor items from suspended butterflies to really cool metal displays. I knew immediately I'd find so many things I'd love and couldn't bring back to the states with me because I'd have no room and I was right, but I did find some cool metal keys to bring with me to decorate in my living room. I asked the owner if they had a story to them and he replied, "everything has a story" and that was good enough for me.

Such an amazing store! Definitely one of my favorite in Amsterdam. It's so original and different…read more Its a collection of different finds that are so exotic on their own but they still come together nicely, appearing to fit a certain theme. Exquisite pieces of decor, for sure! They have very "weird" pieces too, and simpler ones. For those who call themselves collectors, you might find something here for you. The displays are carefully curated so you should look carefully to appreciate everything!

Out of all the shops we passed on our 2-1/2 hour walk this is one of two shops that had me stop,…read moretake a double glance, then told hubs,I'm going in. The shop keeper was very welcoming and told us these are the work of the artist. The street level had cool t shirts, not like Crazy Shirts texture but softer, with a nice neckline cut and the unique down to earth colors just called out to me, stay a while. I had to limit my I want it ALL to 3 iems to purchase: a t shirt, a sweatshirt and a tote bag. If hubs would have given into taking an Amsterdam horse carriage ride or a taxi My temptations would have actualized. We didn't venture up the stairs to the second level which supposedly had prints and works of art. No sooner had we paid when two ladies from our ship also entered and I could hear one of them tell the salesman, I need 5 of these in large and as she continued with what she needed, I headed for the door... be still my heart, she is one lucky son of a gun but how will she lug all of it back to the ship which was no where in sight?

I loved it was all Dutch (either designed and/or made), and I'm excited to gift some things for Christmas. I really cannot recommend a place more if you're looking for gifts and/our souvenirs (and even if you're local, it'd still be a great place to shop). The lady working was also very kind.
