A Local’s Guide to the Best Antique Shops in Greater Orlando

Central Florida isn’t always known for its antique scene. But it exists quietly, in strip malls, side streets, small towns, and overlooked plazas, built for people who like to look closely.

In this episode of The Gallivanter Podcast, Chad walks through the antique shops he personally returns to around Greater Orlando. Some are better for wandering. Some are better when you’re hunting for furniture. A few are simply good rooms to spend an afternoon in.

Not souvenir shops. Not themed nostalgia. The working version of antiquing.
