The Folkingestraat connects the Vismarkt to the Zuiderdiep, and has a central location in the city centre. This elegant street boasts lots of hidden art and galleries. It is the perfect shopping street to get inspiration and new ideas for your home. There are antique and art shops, lifestyle and interior design stores, and much more. There truly is something for everyone, especially when you want something different and unique.
The Folkingestraat used to be the beating heart of the Jewish neighbourhood. Until World War II, 191 Jews lived in this street alone. The last part of Folkingestraat also used to be called the Jodenstraatje. After the war, the street lost its Jewish character and its name. It is now the Folkingestraat, but the memories will always remain. You can still visit the synagogue at the end of the street, near the Zuiderdiep.
As mentioned earlier, the Folkingestraat is known for its quirky, unusual antique and design stores. You can find lots of handmade items, from clothing to accessories and home furnishings. Why not visit J&Z Handmade Woonaccessories, a true treasure trove for home decorations. Or Tafelgoud, where you’ll find unique pieces for your dining table. They have a huge selection of tableware and China, in all different shapes, styles and sizes.
