Market Days at the Markthal
In addition to the food stalls inside the Markthal, visitors can also explore the famous outdoor market on the Binnenrotte square next to the building.
The market takes place every:
- Tuesday: approximately 08:00 – 17:00
- Saturday: approximately 08:00 – 17:00
With hundreds of stalls, it is one of the largest markets in the Netherlands. Visitors can browse fresh produce, Dutch cheeses, stroopwafels, flowers, clothing, souvenirs, seafood, and local delicacies.
For cruise passengers visiting Rotterdam on a Tuesday or Saturday, combining the Markthal with the outdoor market offers one of the best food and shopping experiences in the city.
Tip: Saturday is usually the busiest and most vibrant market day, attracting both locals and visitors from across the region.
