This weekend (13-14 December) you’ll find flea markets, vintage markets, and creative markets across the Netherlands, alongside a wonderful selection of Christmas markets in full swing throughout the country.

Saturday offers several options in Amsterdam including vintage markets at De Hallen and Javaplein. Sunday brings larger flea markets to Leeuwarden, Velp, Nieuwegein, and Schiedam, along with the popular Waluw Vintage Market at De Doelen in Rotterdam and Parafanalia at Paradiso in Amsterdam.

This is the weekend with the most Christmas markets in the Netherlands, with markets at Amsterdam’s Museumplein, Maastricht’s Vrijthof, Groningen’s Grote Markt, The Hague’s Royal Christmas Fair, and the unique cave market in Valkenburg. Historic locations like Kasteel Middachten, the fortress town of Bourtange, and Kasteel Groeneveld in Baarn offer especially charming settings. Sunday adds Winter Wonderland in Zeist and Arnhem’s “Grootste Kerstmarkt van het Oosten” to the mix.

Important: Before you visit a market, especially during cold, rainy, or windy weather, check the organiser’s website (linked under “more info”) to confirm it’s proceeding. Outdoor markets may be cancelled in the last minute due to poor weather conditions.

FAQ

What's a creative market?

A creative market brings together diverse vendors including independent designers, artists, craftspeople, food vendors and trucks, with some markets featuring entertainment like music. These markets focus on handmade, artistic, and unique items rather than mass-produced goods.
