Every December for a long weekend the centre of Haarlem turns into a magical Christmas market. It is one of the biggest Christmas markets in The Netherlands. Haarlem, located just a short train ride away from Amsterdam, is known for its charming, cobblestone streets and picturesque canals, making it an ideal setting for a Christmas market. The market takes place on several squares and streets of town, such as the Grote Markt, Botermarkt, Koningstraat, Gierstraat, Grote Houtstraat, Frankestraat, Schagghelstraat, Warmousstraat, Kruisstraat, and Zijlstraat.
The Christmas market in Haarlem in 2024 is an excellent place to find unique and locally made gifts and decorations, making it a popular destination for holiday shopping. Don’t miss the opportunity to try Dutch holiday treats like oliebollen (a type of fried dough ball), Dutch waffles, and hot chocolate.
