Foodie Tour of the Haagse Markt<br />
Come and spend your Saturday morning<br />
exploring the Haagse Markt (The Hague<br />
Market), one of the largest multicultural<br />
markets in Europe. Our guide will take<br />
us on a two-hour culinary world tour that<br />
stimulates the taste buds. As we walk along<br />
the rows of colorful stands, we’ll stop to<br />
taste exotic and <strong>Dutch</strong> products from a range<br />
of vendors. Depending upon the season,<br />
each week between 35,000 to 42,000 people<br />
visit the market, which hosts more than 500<br />
stands. You can find fruits and vegetables<br />
from around the world and some of the<br />
best fresh fish in town. Before beginning<br />
our culinary journey, we’ll meet our guide<br />
for coffee at 10 a.m. at the Marketplace<br />
located at Hoflandplein 17 at the end of<br />
Herman Costerstraat on the Hoefkade side<br />
of the market. It’s easily accessible by tram<br />

H. Antonius Abt Church Tour<br />
A volunteer guide from the Friends of the<br />
Abbot Foundation will give us a private tour<br />
explaining the history, construction, and<br />
interior of this church now being used for<br />
Roman Catholic worship. While the current<br />
building was constructed between 1925 and<br />
1927, Count Willem V of Bavaria founded<br />
a chapel in Scheveningen in 1357 that was<br />
dedicated to St. Anthony the Abbot, an<br />
Egyptian recluse from the third century. The<br />
church interior has mosaics, stained glass<br />
windows, and bronze work. Stations of the<br />
Cross and Apse Mosaics is a memorial mosaic<br />
of more than 2,150 square feet (200<br />
square meters) of approximately 2 million<br />
pieces of Venetian glass.<br />
