Waterlooplein Market is a daily outdoor flea market in the centre of Amsterdam. It is the older flea market in the city. The market is famous for its diverse range of products. Visitors can find a variety of items such as clothing, vintage clothing, accessories, shoes, antiques, books, vinyl records, furniture, artwork, bicycle parts, electronics, and more. The market is also catering to the large number of tourists visiting the Dutch capital. Some say the market is now taken over by cheap souvenirs, but you can still find authentic second-hand and vintage stuff.
The market is typically open six days a week, from Monday to Saturday. It is closed on Sundays. The opening hours can vary depending on the weather, but generally, it opens in the morning and stays open until the afternoon or early evening.
In addition to the wide array of merchandise, visitors to Waterlooplein Market can enjoy performances by musicians and other entertainers. There are also food stalls and stands offering a range of snacks and refreshments.
The market is easily accessible by public transportation, with several tram and bus lines stopping nearby (Waterlooplein stop on the route of subway services 51, 53, 54 and Tram 14) . Visitors can also reach it on foot from the city centre, as it is within walking distance of popular attractions like Dam Square and the Rembrandt House Museum.
