Tour Amsterdam's Christmas Markets

Amsterdam has no shortage of holiday markets during the winter. The fun factor of any cold-weather Dutch holiday is increased by these markets, which feature hand-made crafts, delicious treats, and skating rinks. One of the favorites is the Ice*Village Amsterdam, which is surrounded by a skating rink on Museumplein and has hundreds of vendors selling local products.

The traditional Sunday Market in Westergasfabriek is transformed into the Funky Xmas Market for one day in mid-December in true Amsterdam style. Their unique vendors are selling quirky handmade goods. The ideal store for customers that care about the environment is Pure Winter Markt Amsterdam. The emphasis on sustainability is what makes this a rewarding place to visit. The market offers the tastiest regional cuisine in the area in addition to guilt-free gifts and food vendors taking up 70% of the market's space. This is a traveling market,, go to their website to find out where they'll be when you're in town.
