Haarlem’s weekend Christmas market is a Dutch favourite, with hundreds of stalls radiating from the Grote Markt into the old town’s handsome streets.
You’ll find crafts, seasonal bakes and cosy bars dotted along the route, plus carols and brass bands for atmosphere. It’s an easy hop from Amsterdam by train (about 15 minutes) and the compact centre is walkable and picturesque. With only three days to explore, arrive early and pick a few quarters to explore thoroughly—Grote Markt for photos, side streets for indie shops and cafés. It’s short, sweet and bustling.
