Record stores in Caracas

Caracas, Capital District has 7 record stores on the map. That's 7 record shops mapped around Caracas. Every shop grades and prices differently, so the same record can be a bargain in one and a splurge in another — dig everywhere. Bring a want-list, but leave room for the find you didn't know you needed.

This guide covers every record store we could verify in and around Caracas (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Don Disco and Recordland, plus Recorland. If a record shop's missing from Caracas's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

What the map tells us about record stores in Caracas

2 of the 7 list their opening hours on the map, which is genuinely useful — record shops keep shop hours, so the listed times are usually reliable.

There's a cluster: 2 of them sit on Bulevar de Sabana Grande, so you can string those into one walk and drive between the rest.

Record digging tips for Caracas

Digging in Caracas? A few habits pay off:

• Handle records properly in the shop at Don Disco. By the edges, never the grooves. Shops notice, and so do the records.
• Don't skip the 45s at Recordland. The singles boxes get less traffic and hide great finds. B-sides are the deep cuts of record shopping.
• Learn your labels. Certain labels mean certain quality. A quick education in the labels of your favourite genres pays off fast.
• Visit on restock days. Shops process collections on rhythms. Ask when new used stock hits the floor and time your visits.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Caracas — 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 Caracas can take a while to appear. The 7 above are only as current as the community map. A record store that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.

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 7 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.
