yet. Every euro you spend is worth your visit. The Dutch markets
are as old as the Middle Ages, even older! These days, the Dutch squares

everybody is doing there daily cheap shopping, people in search
of a bargain, visitors - just pikking up the cozy atmosphere. Planning to visit
Holland? Do not forget to visit the Dutch markets! For centuries,
the Dutch markets ( markets - from the latin - mercatus ) have been
the meeting place for buyers and sellers, and it still is! There
are so many markets in Holland with such a diversity and so many
different types of goods, it's a must to visit us - the cheapest
bargains you will find on the Dutch Open Air Markets, no doubt about
it! |
Almost every city has some big
markets, it is the place to buy the cheapest and best goods or souvenirs
and to meet a lot of multi-cultural people from all over the world. One
of the most famous markets is in Amsterdam.
The
Rotterdam "Centrum" Market can compare with this market,
but the market city Dordrecht,
is the best market for the last several years! They can claim to be Holland's
most lively markets! This is due in part to the enormous, colourful
variety of food and cloth sales on these markets. The market "kramen" (stalls)
are really nice to visit, it is a real pleasure to see, taste, smell
and feel the market goods and sphere. The offerings are so varied, that
the market people in Holland say: "If you cannot find it on the
Dutch markets, it either does not exist or it has not been discovered
yet". Whatever the time of year, there is always a fun and nice atmosphere
at the Dutch markets.
