    The Albert Cuyp Markt is an outdoor market that stretches for about a mile down the Albert Cuypstraat. Many locals come here to buy their daily groceries. It’s a great place for people watching.

    See my shopping tip for more information.

    After lunch we went to the fleemarket on the Waterlooplein. Amy (Amelia4), Anita (La_Holandesa) and Joan (Joanna22222) are looking at some wooden shoes.

    Street Markets: MARKET Who loves to rummage...

    MARKET

    Who loves to rummage around through a market is in Amsterdam at the right place. Offcourse you must visit the typical “Albert Cuypmarkt”, where you will find almost everything for free, clothes, toys, antique but also books, records and lots of food.
    But also the flea market at the “Waterlooplein” is worth it …

    Street Markets: queensday just outside the centre

    Dapperstraat at Queensday
    by kilat
    Every year, on April 30th, it Queensday / koninginnedag in Holland, a free day for most of us.
    It is very, very busy in the centre of town. And at many places is loud music.

    If you don't like the crowd or the noisyness, I would suggest to go just outside the centre. You can go to the "Jordaan" (to the West, still a little crowded), Ferdinand Bolstraat (to the south), or to the Dapperstraat (to the East). The further you go outside the centre, the more quiet it will be.

    Another difference between the centre and outside the centre is who are selling. In the center the streetvendors are mostly from a shop; outside the centre are more common people who sale their old stuff on a carpet on the street.

    Street Markets: koninginnedag / queensday

    Typical Dutch is "koninginnedag" on April 30th. It starts early in the morning, around 06.00 o'clock. A lot of locals are dressed in orange and partying on the streets. In the centre there are everywhere streetvendors, you can hardly walk there.

    In other neighbourhoods the local people are also partying. They sell their unused second hand produkts on a carpet at the streets. This is also the case in "de Jordaan", a beautifull old part of Amsterdam. Go there and you will have a good time!

    This is not a good day to take a taxi or tram in the citycentre. The streets are to crowded, it is inpossible to drive. During all day long till around 22.00 o'clock. The trains to Amsterdam are also very crowded.
