Albert Cuyp Market

An old Dutch saying states that buying on the market, makes your money go a long way, and that certainly holds true for the Albert Cuyp market. Down the long Albert Cuypstreet, you’ll find many stalls where their typical Amsterdam merchants scream for your attention, trying to sell you their wares. The offering of the Albert Cuyp market is diverse and affordable; you’ll find anything from fresh bread, fish and chicken to clothing, shoes and bags.

Dutch delights

Let the fresh smells guide your way to the flowers, stroopwafels (traditional sugary Dutch cookies) and herring (traditionally eaten by picking up the little raw fish by its tail, dipping it in freshly chopped onion, tilting your head backwards and enjoying this sushi-style delight by biting off little nibbles). And if you happen to not have found everything on your shopping list, shop in one of the many shops hidden behind the market stalls.

Relax in between shopping

Admire your shopping’s and get revitalized in one of the many little cafes and lunchrooms around the Albert Cuyp Market. Or walk to the Sarphatipark, just behind the market, right in the middle of this lively neighborhood the Pijp. Sit down in the green grass near the lovely ponds of the park and enjoy a picnic of the tasty bites you have just bought on the market.
