Grote Markt (Main Market Square), Hague

Feeling bohemian, creative in a footloose kind of way? Maybe had your fill for now of high culture, history, churches and exotic gardens? Think you'd just like to kick it at the Hague? Then you need to pay a visit to the Great Market Street in the center of the Hague. It's an old market square lined with bars and clubs.

From early morning 'til late at night the square is jumping and the crowds are welcoming. The square is the place to be for the popular music scene. Bars and pubs join to program live music year-round.

Of course if you're not yet totally shopped out, you can feed your shopping Jones here as well. Many department stores have a foothold here. They would include HEMA, Peek & Cloppenburg, C&A, Mediamarkt, De Bijenkorf, and UNIQLO. Marktstraat also comes with entertainment. There's IMAX, Hommerson Casino, and others.

Market Street can be reached by tram from Central Station or simply by walking from Central Station. There is parking at Spui, Centrum and Turfmarkt car parks.
