The Hague Market
Haagse Markt
One of Europe's largest open-air markets, with about 500 stalls selling produce, seafood and spices, plus snacks from Suriname and Turkey.
The Haagse Markt is located in Schilderswijk, a multicultural neighborhood in the south of the city, with about 500 stalls. It is often said to be one of Europe's largest open-air markets. Here you can see another side of The Hague, with ingredients and snacks from immigrant communities from Suriname, Turkey, Morocco, Indonesia and beyond. Herring stands, kibbeling (fried fish bites) and fresh Dutch poffertjes are all on offer, and prices are much lower than in the city center. It is open roughly 09:00 to 17:00 on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and is easily reached by tram. Keep an eye on your belongings when it is crowded.
Opening hours
Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat 09:00–17:00
