Market · 1–2 h · second Sunday of every month · themed and second-hand books in the village of booksellers

Damme presents itself as the book village, Boekendorp: its streets have several small bookshops, some of them antiquarian and second-hand, such as Boeken Diogenes, Napoleon & Maerlant or Feniks. On the second Sunday of every month, the village also sets up a themed book market.
How to make the most of it
Visit Damme does not publish the market's hours: arrive mid-morning, when the stalls are already set up, and ask at the tourist office about that month's theme. The bookshops keep their own hours and not all of them open every day, so the market Sunday is the best day to see them.
