Nieuwe Spiegekstraat
Amsterdam 1017 DC
http://www.spiegelkwartier.nl/

The Nieuwe Spiegelstraat runs between the Rijksmuseum and Keizersgracht. Its history goes back as far as the Seventeenth Century. More than seventy art and antique dealers have set up businesses in and around this street with its many characteristic Amsterdam facades. These specialists offer a wide range of objects, ranging from Egyptian antiquities which are six thousand years old to Seventeenth Century Delftware, antique Chinese porcelain and abstract modern art. Take tram 1, 2 or 5 from Magna Plaza, just behind the Royal Palace. Get off at the Leidseplein (fifth stop) and turn left into the Weteringschans. After a five minute walk you'll see the Rijksmuseum on your right. Turn left and you'll be in the Spiegelkwartier District. You'll find the first antique stores here. If you keep on walking you will get to Keizersgracht.
