Visit a flea market

Of course, King's Day is known for its flea markets, for example travel to the north to visit Leeuwarden, here people sell their stuff from 8.30:17.00 am to XNUMX:XNUMX pm. This city also has a special children's free market in the Prinsentuin. Of course, our capital is also littered with second-hand items. If you really want to find the most beautiful gems for little money, go to Apollolaan and Beethovenstraat. Amsterdam South. Be there early, because the flea market is open from 06.00 a.m. Can you really not wait until April 27? In Utrecht you can enjoy King's Day a day earlier, because here the flea market starts a day earlier, namely on April 26 from 18.00 p.m. In Utrecht you have come to the right place along the canals at Plompetorengracht, Breedstraat, Weerdsingel and Waterstraat.

Visit the royal family in Maastricht 

If you would like to see Máxima shine in real life in a creation by a top designer, then visit Maastricht. The royal family will visit this southern capital on April 27. Perhaps this is the ultimate reason to plan a weekend away. MASTERS set five hotspots in a row so you can enjoy yourself royally in Maastricht.

Go sailing for a day 

We slowly dare to hope that we can really enjoy a dry and sunny King's Day this year. A local shower is not completely excluded, but the temperature could rise to 17 degrees. Experience King's Day from the water and, for example, rent a boat yourself or sail in an organization's sloop.

Visit a festival

The Hague is of course the ideal city to celebrate our King's birthday, so visit Kingsworld in The Hague together with thousands of other partygoers. If you prefer to celebrate a festival in the country's capital, go to Oranjebloesem, for example, where a range of Dutch artists will perform in the Olympic stadium or Kingsland Festival in RAI Amsterdam.
