Not only is Java rich in culture and history, but it’s also home to some of the best antique markets in Indonesia. These markets are a paradise for those who appreciate the charm of vintage items. And guess what? They’re also fantastic for capturing some memorable photos. Let’s dive into six must-visit antique markets in Java.
1. Jakarta
First up, we have Jalan Surabaya in Menteng, Central Jakarta. This street has been synonymous with antiques since 1975. What started as temporary stalls has now evolved into a bustling market with over 150 permanent vendors. Here, you can find everything from old cameras to vintage luggage. The atmosphere of this elite residential area adds a touch of class to your shopping experience.
2. Bandung
In Bandung, head to the Cikapundung Electronic Market on Braga Street. But don’t be fooled by the name – the third floor is where the magic happens. It’s packed with antique treasures, both local and international. Many vendors here are tech-savvy, leveraging social media to showcase their unique finds. So, if you’re lucky, you might snag a gem online even before setting foot in the market.
3. Solo
Solo, in Central Java, boasts the famous Triwindu Market on Diponegoro Street, right in front of Mangkunegaran Palace. This market is renowned for its collection of Javanese-style antique decor. The tightly packed stalls create a cozy, nostalgic ambiance, making it a favorite spot for photography enthusiasts.
4. Yogyakarta
Next, we journey to Yogyakarta, where the Klitikan Niten Market in Bantul is a haven for antique lovers. This market is especially popular among vintage automotive fans. You’ll find everything from old motorbikes to vinyl records and second-hand books. It’s a treasure trove that keeps on giving.
5. Semarang
In Semarang, the Klitikan Antique Market in the Old Town area on Garuda Street awaits. This market is perfect for those on the hunt for vintage scooters like Vespas or classic Honda bikes. Some vendors even accept trade-ins for antiques, adding a unique twist to your shopping experience.
6. Surabaya
Lastly, we have Surabaya’s Bratang Market, which houses the relocated antique vendors from Jalan Bodri. Situated on the second floor, this market offers a variety of items from antique furniture to delicate glassware. It’s a must-visit for those seeking a piece of Surabaya’s rich history.
