Expect to find a selection of Turkish, Moroccan, Surinamese and Indonesian goods on offer, the highlight being that one can indulge in a culinary tour of these countries in a short leisurely stroll along the market street. The reasonably priced Surinamese roti kip rolls – spicy chicken wrapped in a soft flat bread – are a must-have. While the emphasis is primarily on food, there are also stalls dedicated to clothing, textiles, flowers, books and junk at bargain prices.• Albert Cuypstraat, +31 20 678 1678, albertcuypmarkt.nl.
Since it opened as a small independent record store in 1955, Concerto has grown from one storefront to five, and has built a reputation as being one of the best – and cheapest – places to buy a diverse array of music. Spread across five narrow buildings, the shop feels like a musical labyrinth as the classical section winds its way into narrow corridors of world, jazz and dance, with an extensive secondhand vinyl section. Unlike other specialist record stores that can feel cooler than thou, Concerto stocks the perfect combination of commercial releases and rarities, making it just as easy to pick up Madonna's greatest hits as an obscure compilation of Bollywood B-sides.• Utrechtsestraat 52-60, +31 20 624 5467, concertomania.nl. Open Mon-Wed, Fri-Sat, 10am-6pm, Thurs, 10am-9pm, Sun, noon-6pm It's easy to walk past the inconspicuous entrance of De Looier and dismiss it as a downright dingy-looking shop filled with unwanted old tat. As you step inside, however, it becomes clear why this is the largest and most popular indoor antiques market in the Netherlands.
Asian furniture nestles against religious art, vintage jewellery is laid out alongside silverware and old wooden toys sit eerily alongside war memorabilia from decades past. Whether you're hunting for something specific like antique grandfather clock from the 19th century or merely rummaging, there will undoubtedly be something eye-catching.• Elandsgracht 109, +31 20 624 9038, looier.nl. Open Mon-Thurs, Sat, Sun 11am-5pm It's not uncommon to find beard-stroking scholarly types browsing through the Sartre section of this secondhand book market in a quaint little stone passage between two grand 18th-century university buildings. While there is an abundance of academic titles on offer, there's also a variety of fiction, non-fiction and art prints, with the emphasis on quality rather than quantity – you won't find any trashy paperbacks here. The distinguished sellers seem to take great pride in what they do, often looking slightly distressed when parting with their beloved works of literature at such low prices.• Oudemanhuispoort.
Let's face it, the only way to experience shopping like a local is by weaving through the narrow streets on two wheels, shopping bags flailing in the wind. In a bid to curb the selling of stolen bikes to tourists, the team at Recycled Bicycles rescue, renovate and sell old, broken bikes at a bargain price. The passionate team, led by BMX enthusiast Vitor, make it their mission to provide newcomers to the city with sturdy, affordable and guilt-free bikes. They are also occasionally willing to rent out bikes for select periods of time, offering rates that are by far the best value in the city. Open Mon, Sat 2pm-6pm, Tues-Fri 9.30am-6pm Though there's a wide selection of vintage stores scattered throughout the city, Wini offers the highest-quality garments at the lowest prices. Unlike some other vintage shops, the clothes don't smell like they were last washed by your great-grandmother in the 1930s, and are perfectly pressed and dry cleaned. Unused vintage fabrics are also sold by the metre at reasonable prices, providing budding designers and tailors with cheap and unique materials.
While the shop specialises in vintage women's dresses, there's also an abundance of men's suits, retro kids' clothing, jewellery and, rather amusingly, rainbow-coloured ski wear from the 1960s.• Haarlemmerstraat 29, +31 20 427 9393, winivintage.nl. Open Mon-Wed, Fri, Sat 10.30am-6pm, Thurs 10.30am-6.30pm, Sun noon-6pm Situated in the quaint and cobbled Jordaan district, this open-air market will suit both foodies and lovers of vintage. Organic farmers from all over the Netherlands set up their stalls every Saturday to sell fresh organic produce for a fraction of the prices charged at "organic" supermarkets. Do your fruit and veg shopping with the locals or take a stroll and sample the typical Dutch treats such as freshly baked stroopwafels or salted raw herring. On Mondays, the market transforms into an antique-hunter's dream. Stalls are piled with vintage clothes from the last century, alongside antique books, coins and beautifully designed furniture.• Noordermarkt, boerenmarktamsterdam.nl.
Open Mon 9am-2pm, Sat 9am-4pm As the best-known and most central flea market in Amsterdam, Waterlooplein has clad generations of tourists in flares, Hawaiian shirts and occasionally amusing T-shirts bearing slogans about being "high on life". These days, there's the added attraction of a selection of new clothes stands, where upcoming designers sell their creations before trying to make the big time. Given the high volume of tourists that visit the area, pushy sellers are keener to make a sale than in other markets, which results in some argumentative bargaining. Still, stand your ground and there's a high chance you will come away with a gem or two, if not an amusing T-shirt.• Waterlooplein, +31 20 552 4074, waterloopleinmarkt.nl. Initially conceived as an online store five years ago, Ilovevintage.nl was so successful that owner Faranak Mirjalili decided innovatively to merge clicks with bricks and opened this shop. You can shop from the store's sample selection of cheap vintage dresses, shoes, bags and accessories, or head to a touchscreen monitor to browse the entire collection by style, size, and colour.
As in a shoe shop, customers tell the assistants what they want, and out it comes from the stock rooms. You can also plan in advance and come with online item numbers ready to quickly try on your digital finds. • Prinsengracht 201, +31 20 330 1950, ilovevintage.nl. With more than 1,500 stands and 3,000 free parking spaces, the monthly IJ Hallen in the north of Amsterdam is the largest flea market in northern Holland. Shopping here involves a bit of an aquatic adventure – take the free ferry across the scenic IJ river and follow the hordes of bargain hunters. There is a €4 admission charge, but it's worth it if you have the patience to browse for most of the day. Anything and everything secondhand can be found here; battered old guitars are propped against antique chairs, art prints are scattered among military gear. In summer, the market moves outside, allowing for even more stalls and street vendors. • TT Neveritaweg 15, +31 22 958 1598, ijhallen.nl, entry €4. Check website for dates
