Record stores in Amsterdam
Vinyl hunting in Amsterdam, North Holland? There are 58 record shops mapped here. That's 58 record shops mapped around Amsterdam. Every shop grades and prices differently, so the same record can be a bargain in one and a splurge in another — dig everywhere. The new-arrivals bin is always the first stop — that's where the good stuff lands before anyone else sees it.
This guide covers every record store we could verify in and around Amsterdam (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Discostars and Record Friend, plus Sounds Haarlem. If a record shop's missing from Amsterdam's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

What the map tells us about record stores in Amsterdam
38 of the 58 list their opening hours on the map, which is genuinely useful — record shops keep shop hours, so the listed times are usually reliable.
34 have websites listed. Worth a look for new-arrival posts and want-list services.
2 of the shops are tagged as selling used vinyl — the dollar bins and used wall are where the real digging happens.
The Amsterdam record crawl
Making a day of it in Amsterdam? Work this order: Discostars, Record Friend, Sounds Haarlem on 136 Grote Houtstraat, Velvet Music on 40 Rozengracht, Vinyl24 on 314 Oudegracht, Plaatboef on 306 Oudegracht, Flesch Records on 16 Noorderkerkstraat, and Velvet Music on 34 Nieuwe Rijn. That's the record crawl in one sensible loop, no backtracking. 50 more are listed below.
Record digging tips for Amsterdam
How the regulars work Amsterdam's bins:
- Check for warps in the shop at Discostars. Hold the record at eye level and sight along it. Warps that look minor at home look obvious in the store.
- Note the shop's specialties at Record Friend. Every shop leans somewhere — soul, punk, jazz, classical. Find the lean that matches yours, then dig the others anyway.
- Don't overlook cassettes and CDs. The tape and CD sections are chronically underpriced. The format revival hasn't hit them the same way.
- Ask the staff what's new. Shop staff know what's just come in and what's about to. One question can save an hour of digging.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Amsterdam — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new record store in Amsterdam can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 58, or a record store we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.
We don't list prices or stock — both change by the day. What we list is the where: real shops, verified by real mappers.
If you run one of the 58 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
Record store listings for Amsterdam: 58 mapped from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Photos from Wikimedia Commons contributors; individual photo credits appear in captions. Listing data was last refreshed automatically — verify hours before visiting.
