A good shop is worth the journey.

Where’s the Vinyl? began with a simple idea: help music lovers find great shops around the world, especially when visiting somewhere new.

Vinyl culture is where we come from. Our curiosity reaches further: records, CDs, cassettes, and the people who keep physical music alive.

Discover. Visit. Pass it on.

Search by destination or musical taste, save places for your next trip, and share a search with a friend. When you’ve visited, leave a review that helps the next person through the door.

Know somewhere we should include? Submit a shop with its details and sources. Contributions are reviewed before appearing in the directory.

More than an address book

The original vision brings together a travel guide, music magazine, and a community of music lovers. The directory is our starting point. Shop interviews, mixes, features, and guest stories are part of that ambition; our editorial section has not launched yet.
