Hi, I had the idea of visiting the Netherlands on Koningsdag this year and I have a few questions:
-
I mainly want to visit because I love fleamarkets, and the whole country turning into one is just amazing to me. The question is: is it really as big as it’s made out to be? Is it worth it visiting mainly for that?
-
Where would be the best place to visit. I’m from Germany, so bonus points if it’s close to the border
-
How many tourists do you guys get on that day? Are hotel prices going to skyrocket?
-
Is public transport still working normally on that day? I heard the netherlands are amazing to travel by public transport.
-
Anything else I should be thinking of? Special events I could visit or such?
Last year Twente airport near Enschede hosted the longest® flea market. But bring a car this is not the Randstad with amazing public transport. It’s again this year: https://evenementenlijst.nl/evenement/langste-vlooienmarkt-van-nederland-enschede-29-juni-2025/
