Record stores in Rotterdam
Rotterdam, South Holland has 41 record stores on the map. That's 41 record shops mapped around Rotterdam. 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 Rotterdam (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Plato and Muziekhandel van Buytene, plus Velvet Music. If a record shop's missing from Rotterdam's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

The Rotterdam record crawl
Making a day of it in Rotterdam? Work this order: Plato on 13 Nieuwe Binnenweg, Muziekhandel van Buytene on 16 Binnenwatersloot, Velvet Music on 34 Nieuwe Rijn, Plato, High Definition Records Scheveningen on 85 Keizerstraat, Plexus on 11A Voldersgracht, Sounds on 87 Brabantse Turfmarkt, and Velvet Music on 3 Voldersgracht. That's the record crawl in one sensible loop, no backtracking. 33 more are listed below.
Record digging tips for Rotterdam
How the regulars work Rotterdam's bins:
- Ask the staff what's new at Plato. Shop staff know what's just come in and what's about to. One question can save an hour of digging.
- Visit on restock days at Muziekhandel van Buytene. Shops process collections on rhythms. Ask when new used stock hits the floor and time your visits.
- Note the shop's specialties. Every shop leans somewhere — soul, punk, jazz, classical. Find the lean that matches yours, then dig the others anyway.
- Buy the weird stuff. Private pressings, local bands, oddball compilations — the strange records are the ones that appreciate.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Rotterdam — 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 Rotterdam can take a while to appear. The 41 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 41 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 Rotterdam: 41 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.
