Antiekmarkt op de Dreef

The Antiekmarkt op de Dreef starts up in April every year and from then takes place every second Saturday until October. This is a well-known antique and vintage market in the Netherlands in the city of Haarlem, which is not far from Amsterdam. Once a major trading port, it retains its medieval character with cobblestone streets and gabled houses. Famous for its outlying tulip fields, art museums, and almshouses, there is already plenty to do in this city. The seasonal antique and flea market provides one more compelling reason to spend a day in this place!

Close to 100 stalls are set up for the Antiekmarkt op de Dreef on the walking path lined with gorgeous trees. This gives the stalls a little shelter from both sun and poorer weather, though each stand has its own canvas roof. The vendors set up on either side of the wide path, leaving plenty of room for the crowds to navigate easily through the market. Some of the vendors are regulars at this antique market, though there are always many new faces to see and therefore always a new selection of antiques and vintage goods to admire.

The Antiekmarkt op de Dreef always offers a diverse range of antique items and curious objects to delight both collectors and the general public. Many pieces can be found here with origins overseas, though the majority are home-grown historical artifacts and decorative items. Visitors can expect to find antique weapons, jewelry, furniture, lamps, paintings, chinaware, glassware, tools, crockery, clocks, and a whole lot more. With so many different vendors, there is definitely something for everyone here.

The Antiekmarkt op de Dreef is well-supported and has an excellent reputation for providing a higher quality of antique and vintage items than your average flea market. Since it does not open until 9 am, there is no need to rise at the crack of dawn to see the best that this market has to offer. Since it takes place in the city, there are refreshments close at hand too so you can easily recharge your energy for further bargain hunting.
