The Waterlooplein Market is one of the oldest flea markets in both Amsterdam and the Netherlands, operating since 1885. This long-running outdoor bazaar is located in Amsterdam’s city centre, near the Rembrandt House Museum. The market draws both visitors and locals with its eclectic mix of vendors and street food, with people typically spending up to an hour exploring the market’s wares.
The Waterlooplein Market’s historic roots are based in what was once the Jewish Waterloo Market, which was disbanded due to intense Jewish persecution in 1941. After the war, the market once again became a lively hub within the community in the 1950s. Though the market’s location has shifted at various points during its history, it is now once again held in its traditional location in the heart of Amsterdam.
