The Korenmarkt in Arnhem is the city’s beating heart — a lively square filled with cafés,
restaurants, bars, and cultural energy. Located in the historic center, it’s one of Arnhem’s most
popular gathering spots for locals and travelers alike, offering everything from relaxed daytime
terraces to exciting nightlife after sunset.
Once a medieval grain market (hence the name “Korenmarkt,” meaning “Grain Market”), the
area has evolved into a modern entertainment hub while preserving its charming Dutch
architecture. Whether you’re looking for a casual coffee, fine dining, or a fun evening out,
Korenmarkt has something for everyone.
