Staetshuys Antiquairs

With an oh-so-refined selection of globes and maps, planetariums and nautical instruments, and objets from all over the world, this antiques shop is the real deal. The prices reflect the exceptional quality of the wares, but serious buyers aren't the only ones welcome; the owners have a reputation for showing aspiring collectors the same grace and attention they do the big spenders.

Insider Tip: Make sure to walk this whole block of Nieuwe Spiegelstraat, which has the highest concentration of antiques in town, from jewelry and prints to Delftware and furniture.
