Street Market - Albert Cuyp: A very colourful market

    Albert Cuyp market

    In a less visited area by tourists known as De Pijp, there is a colourful market. De Pijp is the home of flamboyant Dutch people and immigrants. So when I say colourful, I mean all the different nationalities and the peculiarly dressed Dutch people. It's nice to stroll along this market and sit outside on one of the terraces and just observe the locals.

    The market is open from Monday through Saturday between 9:30 am to 5 pm.

    Cloths, fruit, vegetables, flowers, fish ...

    Less expensive than elsewhere in shops

    I was staying in this area a couple of streets away from the market so one might say it is on the doorstep. The market has an emphasis on food with a variety of cheeses, fish, stroop wafflen etc, there are also clothe stores. In my opinion it was a bit tacky but then it depends on what you are after as it may be more cost effective to buy goods here then in the centre.

    The market is open Monday to Saturday 9am – 5pm, do be careful of pickpockets & people trying to sell you postcards it can be a scam / decoy to rifle through your pockets.

    Cheese - Cheese & more Cheese

    Cheaper then the shop

    Street Market - Albert Cuyp: De Peperbo

  • De Peperbo is a lovely market-like shop right on the Albert Cuyp (just behind the stalls) where you will find everything for tea and coffee, kitchenware, spices and herbs, sweets and lovely gifts.
    I saw the biggest wooden spoon there that I ever saw.

    Don't! You'll go away with too much anyway. Tea, herbs, spices, kitchenware, a shop to drool over.

  • Albert Cuyp Market - a famous street market in Amsterdam.
    What makes it so special? I would say it's multi-cultural character...Pakistani, Moroccan, Turkish plus lots of tourist folks. Generally, I shy away from big crowds of people but here they only add flavour to this colorful place...
    There are many stalls (must be about 300 or something like that) with a wide range of products being sold: from clothes and cosmetics to fruit and vegetables, bakery, spices, and different kinds of cheese. Behind the stalls, along the street there are small shops on both sides which sell mainly clothes and textiles...

    I was interested in buying some clothes and even more - some accessories - I am a girl after all:) So, I ended up buying a blouse and a pair of earrings but spent a few hours just walking through the stalls and small shops and browsing, browsing... At one point it started raining so heavily that I had to look for some place to hide and I ended up spending half an hour or something in a shop selling beautiful textiles as well as some oriental clothing including sarees, salwar kameez and some beautiful jewellery...There are actually many shops and stalls in this market selling traditional Punjabi outfits or even some belly dancing uniforms and accessories. Whoaw!
    Anyway, if you are into this kind of style - visiting Albert Cuyp Market in A'dam is a MUST!

    Depending how many items U wanna buy but generally the prices are reasonable.

    If you're in the market for inexpensive clothing, fabric, shoes, fish, cheese, veggies or soap.. this is the place to come. I was told the Stroopwafflen man there makes the best in Amsterdam but he was nowhere to be seen the day we were there.

    If you’re in the mood for shopping and haggling, then this market is for you. The Albert Cuyp Markt is an outdoor market that stretches for about a mile down the Albert Cuypstraat.

    You’ll find stalls selling everything from vegetables, cheese and fish to cosmetics and clothes.

    "Haggle" is the name of the game.

  • You will find there specially cheap clothes and the usual food. This is a place for locals, I think.

    I liked a lot the vegetables and fruit stalls, with a lot of products. There was also good bargains in shoes and clothes, too.

    Don't miss a couple of stalls where you can taste the "strootje hering" (or something like that) which is a sandwich with a herring, onion and etc. a typicall and nice meal from Holland. Even being typicall for me it was a bit difficult to find it!

    I found it was cheap, good place to buy the daily food!

    Albert Cuyp is a mile-long, no-nonsense, 100-year-old street market where locals stock up on food, flowers, clothes and notions six days a week. There is something very satisfying about a market in the middle of the street, where cars are banned and pedestrians rule. The market has nearly 300 vendors on both sides of the street facing a central aisle that runs down the middle of four blocks of Albert Cuypstraat. Here you'll see the newer faces of Amsterdam - Kurds, Serbs and Cambodians - selling and buying alongside the ruddy old-timers, all of whom use this market as their everyday larder, choosing from fruits and vegetables, fresh chickens on ice, and smoked and fresh fish. You can walk through Albert Cuyp and see nary a tourist, feeling, for just a moment, what it must be like to be a native. There is no pretension here, but value is everywhere.
    Most of the stores on Albert Cuypstraat display their wares on the sidewalk and some even have market stalls. There are a lot of flower and plant merchants and clothing stores whose prices attract a regular following, and little cafes along the street selling local specialties. This is a good neighborhood to scout out the numerous cheap ethnic restaurants operated by recent immigrants.

    This is a local outdoor market open weekdays and geared towards local bargain hunters. Not everyone speaks English but with sign language and whatever few Dutch words you pick up you can easily communicate. Prices are low and Amsterdam suburbanites make the trip here to hunt for bargain shopping.

    Cheese, fresh seafood, food, toiletries, clothing. Pretty much anything you want is sold here but they don't sell used goods. There are additional shops behind the stalls as well as cafès and smal restaurants.

    60-75% of local, non-tourist prices
