Street Market - Albert Cuyp: The largest outdoor market in Europe?

    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.

    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!

    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).

    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.

    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.

    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

    Amsterdam is a city of markets ~ there is one on every day of the week somewhere in the city! From flowers to antiques ; from books to second hand clothing, there is a market for everybody!
    The most famous one is the floating flower market on the Singel canal ; 16 barges which sell a huge variety os bulbs plants and cut flowers as well as many souvenir ideas.
    And the Waterlooplein flea market which takes place from Monday to Saturday each week and is found on the Waterlooplein, at the rear of the Stopera building ~ thats the one which resembles a huge set of dentures!
    But there are also local markets which are just as much fun ; the Albert Cuypmarkt which is in the area known as De Pijp is almost a kilometre long! A similar market is the Dappermarkt which is in the East of the city, a good local market selling everything from apples to eels!
    There are also more specialist markets ; for booklovers and antique hunters.For those who like textiles and clothing.There is a stamp market and, on Saturdays, a farmers market which you will find around the Noorderkerk
    Shopping at the market is part of the Amsterdam way of life so if you're there why not enjoy it too?

    Amsterdam is famous for many things, diamonds most of all perhaps. But if the budget doesn't stretch to this maybe some cheese or chocolates. Or some jenever perhaps, the famous Dutch gin.
    Perhaps antiques are your pleasure, so why not take a stroll down the Nieuwe Spiegalstraat where you will find a concentration of art and antique shops.
