This big outdoor flea market is really a trip! Lots of clothes, crafts, art, electronics and miscellaneous junk. Some vendors are just cleaning out their attic, so there are bargains to be found.

What a load of junk
this was the best day out ever
An interesting find and is worth checking out even if you leave empty handed. There are some pretty cool and affordable second hand clothes, if you search hard enough, that can be re-designed and re-worn. A process that is still considered the in-thing. Book worms can bury their nose in the rows of old literature that is offered and those whose interest lies in antiques can browse through the many items displayed at certain stands and, with some luck, find another piece of history to add to their collection. Whatever you are buying, at the end of the day, just check the quality first before departing with your euros.
The Waterlooplein market is a very nice one. It is a misery that the market has been changed. 3 years ago second hand clothes and other cool junk laid in big boxes. Brand clothing only cost 2 euro’ s. Now that clothing hangs nicely in clothing racks. The price has been tripled or even more… But at the Noordermarkt ( also in Amsterdam, on the monday mornings..) you can find that cheap clothes again. So I’m happy. Jeeej

Its all in the perception really. Just like the saying, “One man’s meat is another man’s poison.” I think that the Waterlooplein market is an interesting find and is worth checking out even if you leave empty handed.

As a bonus, there are also rows of cafes nearby where you can sit outside (when its ideal) and sip a warm cup of hot chocolate met slagroom while you scribble a postcard to someone back home.
