Winter in the Langstraat

Take the proverbial route - Vismarkt

This lively square is called the Vismarkt. It used to be an important place in the city. It was and is always crowded here. All the way on the other side you see the fish bank: the place to trade fish. Here on the square the fish was sold: hence the name Vismarkt.

Proverb route - Vismarkt

Being the biggest right in the fish market means that someone tries to prove his right with a big mouth (= by being bold). The fish market was a place where there was a lot of shouting and bragging. Just imagine a fishmonger at the old fish market shouting loudly so he can sell his fish quickly.
