Albert Cuyp Market
Amsterdam's largest and busiest street market in De Pijp: 250+ stalls of food, cheese, stroopwafels, clothing, and household goods.
The call
Worth it if you are watching the budget and you only have one day.
Why
- 01
A lively, genuinely local market where you can graze fresh stroopwafels, herring, and cheese while watching the neighbourhood shop.
Our read - 02
The catch: it's everyday goods more than gourmet, gets cramped midday, and closes Sundays — go for the snacks and atmosphere, not curated artisan finds.
