New Market or Nieuw Markt in Dutch

​

From Monday through Friday, the Nieuwmarkt is home to a very small market. On one side of the square you’ll see a couple stalls selling basics like vegetables, flowers and cheese.

​

Farmer's market

On Saturdays, the entire square is taken over by the weekly organic farmers’ market. Here you’ll find everything from locally-grown fruits and vegetables to candles and cosmetics. In the summer, there is also a weekly flea market on Sundays.  Besides the regularly scheduled markets a number of special events and activities take place on the Nieuwmarkt throughout the year. 

 

Nieuwmarkt antiques market

During the warmer part of the year, vendors take advantage of the weather to lure shoppers back to this Amsterdam market on Sundays with an antiques and clothing market. The Sunday event may be referred to as the antique market, but the offering here ranges from bric-a-brac of unknown age to original ornaments and toys made by local young designers. If you're not looking for something to stick on your mantelpiece or hang on your wall, there are plenty of clothing stalls that sell ponchos, scarves, hooded tops and other items of alternative apparel.

While it may not have the selection or sheer number of stalls that the nearby Waterlooplein market has, the fact that it is open on a Sunday makes the Nieuwmarkt antiques market a great spot for a bit of late weekend browsing. The antiques market runs from May to October and is open on Sundays from 9am to 5pm.
