Savour authentic Dutch street food and get lost in this shopper’s paradise.
Situated in the neighbourhood of De Pijp, the Albert Cuypmarkt has been around since 1905 and remains as the most popular and affordable market in Amsterdam. With over 260 stalls lining the Albert Cuyp street, the market offers a huge variety of goods ranging from fruits, vegetables, cheese and fish (try the herrings!) to clothes, cosmetics and bedding. You can get almost everything and anything here at lower than average costs as compared to other local markets across the city. What a gem! The market is perfect for foodies’ keen on trying authentic Dutch street food (must-tries include stroopwafels, Poffertjes, herrings and Dutch cheese) and travellers looking to do some last-minute shopping for souvenirs. After exploring this wonderful market, visitors can wander around lively De Pijp, the Quarter Latin of Amsterdam which has seen an increase in the number of exotic shops, businesses and restaurants in recent years. The Albert Cuypmarkt is conveniently located close to other popular attractions such as the Heineken Experience and the Rijksmuseum as well.
