    Great Market especially on Saturday mornings. Local market shops with a great variety of food, like cheese, sausages, vegetables. And fish, flowers, and other delicious stuff.  more »
  • By feltroneu
    A typical Dutch square with many people crossing by. It was connected to the small paves and there are hidden gems around. Like other square in Netherlands, there were open root cafe and gift stalls.  more »
