Old Dutch Market
訪問に最適な時期
Visit between 7:00 and 9:00 AM when the fish auction is underway and spices arrive fresh from nearby farms. The morning light filters beautifully through the colonnade and crowds are still manageable.
予算のヒント
Entry to the market is completely free. Bring small bills if you want to buy fresh spices or dried fruit, as most vendors do not accept cards.

訪問時間の計画
45 min to 1 hour
概要
クイックファクト: ゴールのオランダ市場は、オランダ植民地当局によって建てられた同じ屋根付き列柱の下で300年以上にわたって途切れることなく営業しています。ココナッツファイバー、シナモンの樹皮、そして新鮮な魚が、17世紀からこれらの同じ石の回廊で取引されてきました。
見どころ: 夜明けに中に入ると、300年前にオランダ商人がしていたのと同じように、売り手がシナモンの棒、ナツメグ、クローブの山を選別しているのが見えます。市場の元々の木製の梁が今も屋根を支え、中庭ではその日に獲れたマグロの朝の競りが行われており、植民地時代から変わらない習慣です。
インサイダーヒント
- Arrive before 8 AM to watch the tuna auction in the courtyard, a chaotic and photogenic ritual locals have performed for generations.
- Skip the tourist spice shops near the fort entrance and buy directly from vendors inside the market for better quality and lower prices.
- Wear closed-toe shoes as the stone floors can get slippery with fish water and fallen fruit early in the morning.
- The northern end of the colonnade has the best photo opportunities, with shafts of morning light cutting through the wooden roof slats.
