What the Plein 40-45 market is
The market on Plein 40-45 is the neighbourhood market of the garden city of Slotermeer, in Amsterdam Nieuw-West.
It is a general market with both food and non-food stalls, and it suits daily shopping as well as a look around.
Opening hours
The market is open Tuesday to Saturday from 09:00 to 17:30.
There is no market on Sunday or Monday.
Where it is
The stalls are on the central square, Plein ’40-’45, postcode 1064 SW.
The square has a liberation carillon, paid for by people from the area, which plays over the market every half hour.
Next to the market is an indoor shopping centre with many shops.
What to buy
Food and non-food stalls stand side by side.
If the market does not have what you need, the shopping centre next door probably does.
Tips for your visit
Stay for at least half an hour and you will hear the carillon.
