If you love antiques, shopping, and exploring for unique items and vintage clothing, Astoria, Oregon has a wealth of antique shops that are calling your name.

Antiquing isn't always about finding old things that are valuable. Often it's about finding that one funky thing that fits your space just right and screams, 'this is so me!' Sometimes it's about getting out of the house for the day with a friend and going on a slow, story-filled stroll through shelves of forgotten treasures. If you're looking for a day out treasure hunting, then we've got you covered with a roadmap to the perfect antiquing day trip in Astoria, Oregon.
