The Valhalla of food Opened October last year, The Markthal is one of the biggest indoor marketplaces in the world and a true food Valhalla. Overshadowed by the colourful Horn of Plenty artwork by Arno Coenen featuring giant fruits and vegetables, shoppers can browse the 90 stalls specialising in a wide variety of produce. Anything from fresh fish to organic groceries, exquisite cheese, frozen yoghurt and hot chocolate can be bought inside the colossal hall. TEXT: ELLA PUT | PHOTOS: NBTC
