Wageningen market
The market in Wageningen is a popular tradition in the city and takes place very Wednesday and Saturday. Besides picking up affordable vegetables, fruit, cheese, bread and flowers, you’ll also find cosy pubs around the market square.
Tip: do you have a sweet tooth? If so, make sure to buy yourself a typically Dutch “stroopwafel” at the market stall.

A beautiful botanical garden, at walking distance from the city centre. On the weekend, in the summer, you can often see families or groups of students enjoying a picknick in the sun or simply admiring the plants and flowers.

Ice cream shop Cicuto
One thing you should definitely do while you’re in Wageningen is visit our local ice cream store Cicuto. They have the best ice cream in town and more flavours than Taylor Swift has breakup songs.
