Experience the enchantment of the holiday season with this captivating Christmas Market experience in the picturesque city of Haarlem. The Christmas market transform’s Haarlem’s cosy old town into a whimsical Christmas paradise.

Departing the port, an approximate 30 minute drive will bring you to the city of Haarlem. Upon arrival, take a short walk to the market where you can immerse yourself in the festive spirit as you wander through the charming cobblestone streets adorned with twinkling lights and the delightful aroma of seasonal treats.

Wander through the market's stalls, each decorated with unique, handcrafted gifts, ornaments and artisan foods. From locally made crafts to festive decorations, you'll find the perfect gifts for your loved ones, while taking home a piece of Haarlem's holiday spirit.

You’ll have a jingle in your step as you make the return journey back to the port in Ijmuiden.
