Antique Stores District
Nieuwe Spiegelstraat runs between the world-famous Rijksmuseum and Keizersgracht, its history goes back as far as the 17th century.
In and around this street with its many characteristic Amsterdam facades more than 70 art and antique dealers have set up business.
These specialists offer a wide range of objects,ranging from Egyptian antiquities which are 6,000 years old to seventeenth-century Delft ware, from antique Chinese porcelain to abstract modern art.
You name it, it is for sale in the Spiegelkwartier. This makes the Spiegelkwartier a must-see quarter for those with an eye for the unique, rare and beautiful.

How to get there
Take tram 1, 2 or 5 from Magna Plaza, just behind the Royal Palace. Get off at Leidseplein (5th stop) and turn left into the Weteringschans. After a 5-minute walk you will see the Rijksmuseum on your right. Turn left; you are now in the Spiegelkwartier District. You will find the first antique stores here. At the corner of Weteringschans and Spiegelgracht you will see the well-known Diamond House Lazare Diamonds on the right in the Museum Plaza building; on the left-hand corner there is Reflex Modern Art Gallery which sells contemporary art.
If you keep on walking you will get to Keizersgracht. Turn left there and you will find yourself in familiar territory, in Leidsestraat.
