Over
Korte feiten: Bustling with over 3,000 stalls and thousands of visitors daily, this market buzzes with energy and variety. Its iconic clock tower stands as a popular meeting point, glowing warmly as evening descends over the city.
Hoogtepunten: Vendors often shout local greetings in melodic tones while expertly balancing baskets brimming with exotic fruits and handmade crafts. The market's vibrant night section reveals glowing lanterns and sizzling street food that tell stories through scents and flavors.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes since the market’s vast and mostly on your feet.
- Bring a camera for colorful stalls and lively scenes, but always ask before snapping close-ups of vendors.
- Skip upscale souvenir shops outside the market for authentic, cheaper finds inside.
- Beat the rush by arriving right at opening or late afternoon before night food stalls open.
