Noordermarkt

About

Noordermarkt, situated in the charming Jordaan district of Amsterdam, is one of the city’s most historic and lively public squares. Founded in 1616 and named after the nearby Noorderkerk, the square has evolved from a 17th‑century graveyard into a bustling hub of markets, cafés, and cultural events. Visitors can explore a mix of old and new storefronts, feast on regional delicacies, and enjoy the square’s iconic architecture. The market operates every Monday with a focus on textiles and everyday goods, while Saturday brings an energetic organic farmer’s market that attracts locals and tourists alike. The weekend stalls offer fresh produce, artisanal crafts, and culinary delights, often starting at 9 a.m. and running until 4 p.m., providing ample opportunity to discover unique treasures. Beyond commerce, Noordermarkt is steeped in history. The surrounding Noorderkerk dates back to 1623 and adds a resonant architectural backdrop to the lively streets. Whether meandering through the market or admiring the historic church, visitors experience a blend of Dutch heritage and contemporary street life.
