Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Me and my wife visited this market to look for some old Javanese statues and accessories. Most of the stores were sell the same products. So we should to compare the price first before we buy. Some products actually were new, but they made it with old and antique design. I think this is the best place to find antique and unique accessories and crafts in Central Java.

This antique market has a few antiques and many copies. The charming thing about it is the stall holders are friendly and will tell you if it is old or new or 'not so old ', real or fake. You can get lots of Chinese pots and plates, Javanese paintings on glass, ivory which cannot be brought into Australia,
Junk of all sorts like jewellery, old cameras, coins, lights, statues, glass and glasses and on and on. If you are really keen allow 2 hours and bring cash no cards here. They sell icy cold water which you will need as it is hot as hell in the market. We love it and this time I got retro glasses from the 1950's and some very colourful kitsch Chinese pots. Some stuff here is so bad it's good kitsch wise that is. Pasar Triwindu Market is known to all taxi drivers and banks are not too far away. They do have an ATM but does not work with some Aussie cards. BRI bank is the best for Aussie cards. Have fun!! Take hand wipes as lots of stuff is dirty. You can bargain a bit but they lose interest if you go too low. They do not hassle, beg or carry on like in Bali so the whole thing is a fun and enjoyable experience for buyers and sellers. They will also mind your purchases so you can keep looking without lugging stuff around. They are lovely polite people who enjoy their market.

Pack Rats and amateur history buffs will need a few days to explore the fascinating odds and ends on display at Pasar Triwindu. Ancient and still functional padlocks eerily reminiscent of dungeons and shackles, jade lingams and yonis, bronze cowbells, and the odd authentic pince-nez (disinterred? from whom?), and an assortment of historical flotsam and jetsam will keep you mesmerized for endless hours. Traditional food and even more traditional refreshment (jamu!) are readily available from passing food and beverage carts. Though prices are generally reasonable to the visiting tourist, they can (and should) be bargained down severely. There are items here that will easily sell for twice or thrice as much in Yogyakarta.

We went to the market twice. The first was on a Saturday night, closed, but there was a weekend market in front of it, selling nifty things (though I don't recommend it). The second time was just as it opened on a Sunday, so it was very quiet and few shops were open. It opens at 10/11. The shopkeepers were all very friendly, their stores had some of interesting stuff — but not a lot, and most of them aren't even antique. There were many photograph batches that were clearly printed and pixelated, and much of the jewellery and household items were repros. The shopkeepers do tell you which ones.
Go here to hunt down various Batik stamps, which start from IDR 150,000 to IDR 850,000 for the newer, or complex (huge) ones. But at that price, you can design your own and send it to an artist. Managed to spot a good one for Rp. 250,000 — all copper, meaning Solo original. Watch out for the Pekalongan ones as they're mixed with aluminum, and don't last. If you want to restore, all you need is sandpaper.
I would have given it a four, but seeing as I got nothing very interesting for myself, I give it a three.

Not all of the stuff are antique. If you are not an expert one, you can't make any differences. Nowadays you can make a new thing looked like an old one. Anyway when you visit this market, and want to buy something, just take time, go around and don't forget to bargain. It's very interesting to see things that sometimes bring your memory back to the past.

You can visit this market at noon, but you also can visit this area at Saturday night.
There will be a night market (only at Saturday Night). You will find clothes, kids toys, and many creative things such as diorama from bamboo waste, painted shoes, and table lights from plastic waste.

If you are visiting this place via Yogyakarta, you can take a 1.5 hours train ride from Tugu Train Station at Yogyakarta for 10,000 rupiah, disembark at Solo Balapan Train Station and take a taxi (costs 30,000 rupiah) or a bechak (10,000-15,000 rupiah) to the market which is around downtown area. A return trip (Yogya-Solo-Yogya) will only cost 16,000 rupiah by train!
I would say, about 80% of the items sold are repro (they even have their own workshop at the back to reproduce their 'antiques'). A handful of the genuine antiques still remaining at the shops will cost above 2 million rupiah, usually. This include Durtch era brass lamps and chandeliers. However, if you don't mind repro, those selling here are of good workmanship and quality and cheaply priced. A 3kg dragon figurine measured at 20 over inches made of brass only sells for 380,000 rupiah, while large brass door handles are priced at between 40,000- 70,000 rupiah. You are allowed to haggle, but be polite.

Anything old, antique, vintage, quaint, you are most likely to find here! From glass jars, coins, batiks (original, drawn), jewellery, furniture, cutleries, china and everything else in between. And best of all, like most markets in Indonesia you can always bargain!! Browse the stalls first, strike up a friendly conversation with the vendors, show interest, then bargain :)

a fun place for those who like to root around...of course there are bogus items here but any sensible flea-marketeer understands that's a given, and there are genuine items here, which are beautiful, interesting, and/or just fun. Of course you should bargain, and English is at a minimum, but I would definitely go again, came back with some great treasures!
