Hilversum

Hilversum is a medium-sized city in the Gooi area of North Holland in the Netherlands. Once called the Garden of Amsterdam, most travellers still come over to cycle and hike through the surrounding forests and heathland. The city is also known for its modern architecture, with Dudok's Hilversum Town Hall being the most significant design. Hilversum is known as "media city", being the home of the radio and television broadcasting industry of the Netherlands.

    General Market

    The general market in Hilversum dates back to 1745, when the first horse and cattle market took place. Since 1931 the market has operated from Langgewenst, a central square near the Groest. It is a genuine and authentic local market. Wednesdays have a focus on non-food products, such as books, textiles, leather goods and flowers. Saturdays have a wide variety of vegetables, fruit, fish, cheese and other fresh groceries. A visit is not complete without a fresh raw herring from a stall.
