What is the best time to visit?

Quick answer

  • Mid-morning on a market day is generally ideal for a balance of freshness and manageable crowds.
The Old Delft Market primarily operates on Thursdays and Saturdays. For the broadest selection of fresh produce and goods, visiting in the morning is recommended. Arriving shortly after opening, around 10:00 AM, allows visitors to see the stalls at their fullest before items sell out. To avoid the largest crowds, particularly on Saturdays, arriving earlier in the morning or later in the afternoon (before closing) may be preferable. However, visiting later in the day might mean some popular items are already sold out. Weekday markets (Thursdays) are typically less crowded than weekend markets (Saturdays).
