 A stall at Waterloopein
Flea Market by kymbanm
Most of the stuff was of cheap quality, and not something I wanted to take home ... but I did find a few good buys: body jewelry, saraongs, and a couple of nic-nacs. There are about 300 stalls, so you can find something appropriate if you take the time!
This is located near some other attractions, so I reccomend a 'look-see' if you are in the area - but don't reccommend making a special trip. Most of the folks we talked to reccommended the Alert Cyup Markets instead, but we just didn't have the time to make it over there :)
The weblink attached has information on the history of this market, as well as pictures, movies, and information on surrounding attractions :) Leave a Comment

 Musical instruments for sale. by Paul2001
The fleamarket is located in Waterlooplein in what was at onetime the Jewish Quarter. It was the location of a very tragic episode in Amsterdam's history for it was here that the Nazi's rounded up the local Jewish population before deporting them to their concentration camps. Prior to the Second World War, Waterlooplein had been the home of the local Jewish market. The fleamarket was a revival in some ways of this original market.
The market is open six days a week and is closed on Sundays.
Prices vary according to whatever you want to buy. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: Waterlooplein

 Waterlooplein, small trade by pieter_jan_v
Half of the stalls have clothes (even ex-theater costumes). You will find leather - silk, fur and cotton.
I normally look for records (50 Eurocent for a 7'' single).
But there is more like tools, tape, books, bicycles; the usual fleamarket stuff.
Less than in the shops Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: WaterloopleinDirections: From the station just take Damrak - Rokin - Rembrandtplein. Cross the river Amstel via the Blauwbrug and pass the Stopera (City Hall).

 Soviet trash by nurochka
Clother, jewerly, music, books, tools, glass... everything is so colorful... found some nice Indian purse and a bracelet there. you could find cool smoking pipes or pictures that move when you look at them.
It really depends on what you're buying but expect to pay less than what it would cost in a store. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Waterlooplein street MarketDirections: Waterlooplein, east from the Centraal Station

The original outdoor market dates from 1893 when the mostly Jewish market, then located on and around the "Jodenbreestraat"with other stalls on surrounding streets, was forced by the governement to move on to Waterloo Square itself. The forced move aroused some strong feelings. The Waterloo Square outdoor market in the late 1900's was a bustling place, operating six days a week, being closed, of course, on saterday, the Jewish Sabbath. This was the place where you could literally find almost anything. The horrors of Wold War II with mass extermination of Jews by Nazi Germany forever marked the end of the old Jewish market. Even though it was restored after the war, it never was to regain its old orginal flavor and style.
Where can you find the hottest, most trendy fashions? The "waterlooplein"market of course! The market people knoe exactly what's in, what's hot (and what's not!) and what is about to be "cool new stuff". An incredible array of clothing, shoes, hats, leather goods and so on, re available at the Waterloo Market. If a new fashion hasn't yet been defined, the market people often become trend-setters and can actually dictate fashion. Like a few years ago, they began selling fur coats in the middle of the summer. The hip, "now"culture had to have a fur coat for summer wear. And now days the Waterloo Market is still defining the latest "look"for new wave amsterdam. To top off that "look" there is a rich international selection of accessories. How about an African mask? A neat pair of German "lederhosen"? A handmade batik from Indonesian? An orginal RAF jacket? man "lederhöse"? A batik from Indonesian? A original RAF jacket? You can find all these things and more....and don't forget one-of-a-kind antiques, curiosities and an incredible selection of second hand books in many languages. They're all for sale at the Waterloo Flea Market! Theme: OtherDirections: The present location of the Waterloo Square Flea Market is located behind Amsterdam's Townhall. Trams 9 and 14 as well as the Subway have waterlooplein stops

Jeans, jackets, boots, hats, purses, ties, assorted items from the 1950's to the 70's about which the shop owner seems very knowledgeable.
15E for a pair of jeans in good condition.
