April 2, 2024 Tourism Nationwide It’s spring again, and that also means the season of markets and fairs is opened. Stroll past stalls full of pearls (and, admittedly, some old junk here and there), get a snack and a drink, enjoy music and have a chat with the exhibitors. These are the nicest markets and fairs in April, from the Salt Market on the Scheveningen beach to the VerzamelJaarbeurs in Utrecht. You won’t go home empty handed!

During the Ibiza Xperience Fair you are really on holiday – and in the Brabanthallen. The entrance fee is €12.50 for adults.
Salt Market
Scheveningen, South Holland Is there anything nicer than strolling through a market and then having a drink with your feet in the sand?
