Waterlooplein flea market in the Southern canal belt.

Waterlooplein Flea Market

Amsterdam


Covering the square once known as Vlooienburg (Flea Town), this flea market isn't huge but there are some good finds (and a bit of tourist tat, too) including handicrafts, antiques, records and vintage leather coats. The street market started in 1880, when Jewish traders living in the neighbourhood began selling their wares here.

During the Nazi occupation, Jews were rounded up here before being sent away to camps.
