2. Free market in Rotterdam
King’s Day in Rotterdam is very special this year, because the royal family will be visiting. Normally you go to the Binnenrotte for the free market, but because of the king’s birthday this has been moved to the Wijkpark Oude Westen. You will also find free markets in other places in the center of Rotterdam, such as Schouwburgplein, Eendrachtsplein, Mauritsweg and Westersingel. You can score all kinds of second-hand stuff, used toys and vintage clothing and food and drinks.

3. Free market in Amsterdam
Attention early birds: in Amsterdam you can be on the flea market from 06:00, although most of them officially start at 09:00. The Vondelpark in Amsterdam should of course not be missing from this list. Very child-friendly too, because the entire park is reserved for children who want to earn some extra pocket money. And the Vondelpark is not the only location that is kept free for children. You can also visit the Amstelveld, Rembrandtplein and the Erasmus Park, among others. Music lovers can enjoy great bands and delicious food at almost all locations in the city center.
