these are the best christmas markets in the amsterdam area
Have fun planning your Christmas activities! If you’re up for visiting a Christmas market just outside Amsterdam, I personally recommend the Christmas Market in Haarlem (December 13-15, 2024) or the Royal Christmas Fair in The Hague (December 5-23, 2024). And easily reachable by tram or metro from Amsterdam is the Winter Village in Amstelveen (November 30, 2024, to January 5, 2025).
