The Jordaan has a nice collection of small antique shops, each specializing in a period or region. It’s a pleasant area to stroll (little traffic), and windowshop. There are also art galleries in the Jordaan, around the Concertgebouw and on the Rokin. If you have more money you might want to attend an auction at Sotheby’s or Christie’s auction houses.

The Melkweg has an eclectic photo gallery worth checking out!
