It is really a flea market and didn't have as many crafts or antiques as I was hoping but was a nice way to spend an hour or so walking around. More

All the tulips and fresh flowers were beautiful to see especially in February when we were there. All the homemade things made it special and the cheese shops along the way were very tastey. More

At the waterlooplein you will find an amazing flea market with just about anything you could think of to purchase, and then some surprises as well. I always go here first before I visit other shops, and usually save myself loads of money buying presents and knick knacks to take home. A nice place to just walk or sit and... More

I visit this market on every visit and it's okay if u know what to except, we went on a cold Tuesday in February. It seems smaller and a bit junkier than last time, but worth a look, you never know what u will find. More

Lots of music, vintage clothing, food, pornography, jewellery and much more. Set next to the huge Mozes church and next to the canal. Definately worth a visit, just check what days it is on. More

Enjoyed walking around and seeing the different booths. Lots of bargains depending upon what you are looking for. Clothing, jewelry, records, brass, pictures, electrical items, bike and hardware items. Good coffee shops nearby, a couple of food trucks and even a pet store for cat supplies along the way. A nice way to spend an hour or two outside. Open... More

Then there is jewellery, 'proper flea-market stuff (= sometimes crap)', patat-stores... More
