A travel guide to the best places to visit

Albert Cuypmarkt

The Albert Cuyp market is the most visited, most discussed and most famous street market in Amsterdam. It is probably even one of the biggest daily markets in Europe. The market already exists for over hundred years and is named after the painter Aelbert Cuyp that lived in the 17th century. With about 300 stalls there will be interesting products for everybody. Vendors sell all kinds of products from Dutch street food to fresh fruits, fish, flowers, luggage, household goods and clothing.

You will also find here the real Amsterdam atmosphere, the tolerance, the diversity of the city’s multicultural residents and historical nostalgia. The market is not only visited by locals, but also by a lot of tourists as it is located in the vibrant De Pijp district just south of the city center. Behind the market stalls are very interesting shops from great restaurants to clothing stores that you shouldn’t miss. It is very convenient to have a stroll as the street is closed for traffic during market opening hours. Tram lines 16 and 24 have a stop in front of the Albert Cuyp market.

Opening hours: Monday to Saturday from 9:00h to 17:00h.
