's-Hertogenbosch - Markt

The central feature of the 's-Hertogenbosch town center, a triangular area between the Dommel and the Zuid Willemsvaart, is the Markt, which is also triangular. From this central point the town's three main streets (Hinthamerstraat, Vughterstraat and Hoge Steenweg) lead to the three angles of the triangle. The town's first circuit of walls enclosed this central area. The markets held twice weekly, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, recall the days when 's-Hertogenbosch was an important market center for the agricultural region surrounding the town.
