The Albert Cuyp street is a real Amsterdam street market.

It's a good location to look for souvenirs, food and clothing; ... and much much more.

Do peek behind the stalls as there are many interesting shops hidden.

Street Market - Albert Cuyp: Golfers statue

Albert Cuyp Market

I do not remember the story behind this guy who is missing his golf club, but he stands in the middle of the Albert Cuyp (could it be him?) market in southern Amsterdam. Most of the market is clothing now, with some food and flowers still. A really fun place to shop and just walk through. It can be crowded so watch your belongings!

Albert Cuyp / Street Markets: There are several markets in Amsterdam

The Albert Cuijpmarket is special because its there six days a week. Most markets are just open once a week. It's better to ask what you cannot buy on this market.

What to buy: Clothes, flowers, food from all kinds of cultures and householdware. Strolling around and see all kinds of people, thats what i like about this market. You could try a Dutch delicacy: a Dutch raw herring with onions. It's a real tradional Dutch thing to do.

What to pay: Everything is like it should on a market very cheap of course. Want to know about other Amsterdam market? Check www.amsterdam-holland-guide.com

Albert Cuyp / Street Markets: If you want to buy a saree - Voila!

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...

What to buy: 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!

What to pay: Depending how many items U wanna buy but generally the prices are reasonable.

Albert Cuyp / Street Markets: Big Street Market

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.

What to buy: Cheese - Cheese & more Cheese

What to pay: Cheaper then the shop

Albert Cuyp / Street Markets: The largest outdoor market in Europe?

Cheese stall at the market

I'm not sure where I read it (probably in a tourist brochure) but they said that the Albert Cuyp market is arguably the largest outdoor street market in Europe. While they had some interesting things, I really don't think that's true at all. Maybe my memory serves me badly, but I think Camden Market in London is a lot bigger (maybe the UK is not in Europe?!) and even the Saturday markets in Viale Papiniano in Milan might be about the same size.

What to buy: The stalls in the market are filled with the usual knick-knacks you find in a lot of markets anywhere in Europe (cheap clothes, household items, etc.) so I was rather disappointed not to have seen something more traditional. Then again this really is a local market catering to the local population, so you shouldn't expect anything touristy.

For me as a visitor, I was fascinated by the flower shops and also the fish stalls - these were wonderful!

This is the best marked in Amsterdam if you ask me, they have everything from clothes, bags, shoes, food, basicly anything you will find in amsterdam centre but ONLY CHEEPER!!! And so much more fun to go here!! You can also find bargins here, things you will never find anywhere else! Remember to bring cash, many don't take credittcards.

THIS IS THE BEST!! This must not be missed!!

What to buy: Anything you're heart might desier!! Only you're imagination sets the limit in Amsterdam!!

What to pay: Depends on the item, but dont try and talk the price down, they hate that and the price is allready set.

Gallery's, popular places for occasional markets

On the markets of Amsterdam you will be astonished what you can get. Everything and against the most reasonable prices. Most famous of all markets is the daily Albert Cuyp market that this year (2005) also celebrates it's 100's anniversary. This market is also famous as few of our legendary singers were salesmen here or were dicovered on the market while shouting out their products (-:
Anyway, there are many markets in Amsterdam and also at places where salesmen can stand dry under galleries (such as in the North).

What to buy??

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.
