The big open air market is here on Tuesdays and Saturdays. The 'street' closest to my house is where second hand goods are sold. That's one of my favorite activities, to search for treasure there!

Drinks & Nightlife
The best street to have a drink at night, at the 'Witte Aap' for example. Or the Hartmanstraat, around the corner, has two great bars too, with my favorite 'Tiki' bar!
