• Closed to cars during market hours, so the market stretch of Ten Katestraat is pedestrian only and easier with a stroller or a wandering kid
• De Hallen next door through the Hannie Dankbaarpassage, with a food hall, cinema and library under one roof
• Playgrounds a few minutes' walk away, handy for a run-around once the shopping is done

Ten Katemarkt is a neighborhood street market that has run along Ten Katestraat since 1912, on both sides of Kinkerstraat. During market hours the street is closed to traffic, so kids can walk the stalls on foot.

The Hannie Dankbaarpassage leads straight into De Hallen, a former tram depot with a food hall, cinema and library, handy for lunch or a rainy-day break.
