Where to stay in Beverwijk: Bazaar town and cheap Amsterdam base
Beverwijk hotels average €80-115, direct sprinter trains reach Amsterdam Centraal in 25 minutes, and the Bazaar (Europe's largest covered market) runs Saturdays and Sundays.
Who Beverwijk suits
Beverwijk is a working industrial town near the North Sea Canal with two claims to fame: the Bazaar, a vast covered weekend market with a strong Turkish and Middle Eastern character, and its function as a cheap sleeper base for Amsterdam and the coast. It suits budget travellers who don’t mind an unglamorous setting and food-curious visitors who’ll spend a Saturday morning at the market eating and shopping.
It doesn’t suit anyone expecting Dutch postcard charm — the town was heavily rebuilt and the Tata Steel works dominate the western skyline. Wijk aan Zee 5 km west is prettier if the coast is the goal.
Where to sleep
Near Beverwijk station for train access. The town centre is a 5-minute walk. The Bazaar is on the eastern edge, reachable by bus 74 in 10 minutes or a short cycle. Combine a night here with the Saturday market for the best use of the location.
