The area
Address
Neighborhood: De Pijp
Bustling Albert Cuypstraat serves as the main drag through De Pijp and the location for Albert Cuyp Market, the largest and most famous of Amsterdam’s many outdoor markets. Beyond this sometimes-frantic thoroughfare, tiny lanes beckon urban explorers in search of the latest trends and hidden gems. Nearly half the residents living in De Pijp are foreigners and a good number of them are students. Here you'll find a multitude of ethnic restaurants, great cafes and bars, and a brilliant array of locally owned shops, all catering to a broad range of budgets and tastes.

- Pequod77Jacksonville, Florida173 contributionsGO GO GO ~ The Market is Wonderful.Visited the market on a Friday, it was not too crowed. A 10 minute walk from the Van Gogh Museum area. Market is delightful, many different vendors, art and food. If you are a firs time visitor to AMS for sure visit this local market. It's a nice break and all the vendors are charming and helpful. The young man selling the chocolate brownies, they are THE BEST EVER.Visited September 2023Traveled with friendsWritten September 27, 2023
- Paul M4 contributionsWell worth a visit.Visited this market a couple of times whilst we were in Amsterdam. Great to walk through end to end with lots to see. Great variety of stalls with all sorts to eat. Lovely fresh fish stalls that cook it to order as well.Visited October 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten October 12, 2023

- MKTBETopeka, Kansas4,091 contributionsWe visited for Rudi's Stroopwafels!I am grateful that everything in the sprawling downtown area of Amsterdam is within walking distance, including the Albert Cuyp Outdoor Market. We wanted to try the best Stroopwafels in Amsterdam (Rudi's), and we were not disappointed! We also enjoyed wandering through the length of the market, appreciating the other vendors and their varied offerings.Visited October 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten November 13, 2023
- otlWelwyn, United Kingdom165 contributionsLoads of varietyWe visited on a cold wet Tuesday in January - so probably not representative of how the place really is. However, the market was fully operational and impressive with the variety of items for sale. The locals obviously purchase food and edibles there, and then there are stalls aimed at tourists. The food options were very varied, ranging from fruit and veg to fresh fish, artisan cheeses and even a stall specialising in game birds and meat. There were lots of hot food options also, obviously including the Dutch fries, which you just have to try! Along the outside of the market are some wonderful individual shops which would have occupied us far more if the weather had been kinder. Would definitely returnVisited January 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten February 2, 2024
- PietaNewcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom105 contributionsWorth the visitHeard about this market from virtually every guide to Amsterdam I looked at. Strangely smaller than expected. We visited after a morning at a nearby museum and thought we’d try out the street food for lunch. Not every stall or space was occupied, but we found enough to keep us happy. The grilled cheese sandwich place was really good as were the fries from the chap at the very end of the market. We couldn’t miss Rudi’s Stroop wafels and bought lots as gifts too. For us, the best and cheapest you’ll find. For the rest of the market, there are a few cheap souvenir shops which were good for bits and pieces and definitely the best prices for clog slippers (the airports prices were almost double). The cheese stalls were very well priced too and seemed more genuine to the more glossy branded cheese shops on the Damrak and in central Amsterdam. There are of course other stalls selling various other goods ranging from from toiletries to cheap clothes and household items. Overall a very nice experience which served its purpose. Definitely recommend.Visited February 2024Traveled with familyWritten February 7, 2024
- DT27 contributionsAmsterdam's hidden gemGood market off the usual tourist routes with a selection of everything whether you're a local looking for fresh food or a stray tourist looking for an original souvenir. If you want an honest bite to eat in a proper Dutch cafe then try 'Cafe Koffiehuis "De Cuyp." (See picture)' It's definitely a locals place but the owner was really friendly and welcomes everyone. The food isn't flash nor expensive but, trust me, it's good. The apple pancake especially.Visited February 2024Traveled with friendsWritten February 24, 2024

We only purchased edibles starting with a workman favourite - the mackerel roll. Wandered along a bit and stopped for a homemade stroopwaffle. Since the weather was a bit cold & wet we then finished with a cone of frites (& mayo) to warm us up.Visited February 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten February 28, 2024
- TCountry2Mittagong, Australia898 contributionsOutdoor market with selection of goodsA mixture a stalls at this open air market. Easy to access via tram or metro. From souvenirs, jewellery, fabric, food, produce, clothing and much more this market has something for everyone. The area has lots of cafes and restaurants but there is a good selection of “local” food in the market itself. Not an essential must see in Amsterdam but it is worth a visit if you have time.Visited March 2024Traveled soloWritten March 30, 2024

Also bought a few souvenirs and the prices were a lot better than the gift shops in the town. Definitely worth a visit and easy to get to as it has it's own stop on the tram line number 4.Visited April 2024Traveled with familyWritten April 11, 2024

We ate the best stroopwaffles in the city from a guy that runs the family business and looking a bit like Benedict Cumberbatch. We didn´t dare asking for a picture but you can check yourself. Somewhere on a corner we entered another family business where we tried the raw herring with chopped raw onions and gherkins. My husband tried the Kibbeling. We took away some tuna and fish salad (best I have ever eaten in any restaurant I have ever been) Everybody was smiling and super friendly.
The market is so-so.... couldn´t find anything interesting to buy, many things are coming from China, cheap looking... It worth going for eating as there are many places to chose from.

During the recent lockdown, all the shops were shut, as a result by default, the open air markets became the place to be, especially this one, everything was in operation.
We find everything is reasonably priced and there is always a bargain to be had, fro veges to cloths, one stall had hot wine for one euro, excellent value. one of our faves is the chicken shop the cooked satay chicken is to die for. Also the guy that does spring rolls, they taste amazing with sweet chilli sauce.
This is a must place to visit, especially if you are staying in a self catering apartment.

This is not a place to wander about and experience anything particular to the region or anything very interesting. During our trip my husband's backpack malfunctioned and we found the perfect small day pack for him at this market. That was just luck, I can't recommend it for anything other than a Stroop waffle or maybe a snack.

We came here for a walk around, it was a raining day and unfortunately there isn’t really anywhere you can get undercover. The market stalls all have covers but they are limited and when it’s pouring down with rain you do get wet.
We came on a Monday and didn’t find there was tonnes of options most of the stalls sold similar stuff.
We went to a stroop wafels stall and had both an original and a dipped chocolate one if you are there you have to try both as they are so good and made fresh in front of you cost about €3 - €4 each.
We also tried bennys chicken which was good they have a few different options on offer and the value for money is good.
Worth a visit if your in the area.

There are lots of food stalls at reasonable prices. It is a long street with stalls along both sides selling food, fruits, clothes, housewares, etc. nice to visit for an hour. Please note that it closes at 5 pm daily and it is not open on Sunday.

A really fun spot! The outdoor market is a 3-block long area filled with everything you might need if your luggage got lost; clothes, shoes, toiletries, souvenirs, umbrellas,sunglasses. It is also chock-a-block with food vendors selling everything from the famous raw herring to stroopwaffels and baked goods. We bought some cinnamon rolls and almond pastries to munch, and Japanese okonomiyaki pancakes as we strolled. It is easily available by the metro (subway) or bus system. It is one of the places Amsterdamers buy their own household items, so don't miss it for a taste of the city.

Nice location near the centre, we were there two times in one week. The shops are nice with a lot of flowers and souveniers to choose from, but most of the shops offer the same stuff at a bit different prices. I have to add that if you need any souveniers, flowers or just smoking accessories, they have it all. You can also stop there for the dutch pancakes or cheese if you like. Just mind that it can get very busy.

This market offered a really good range of cheap, excellent street food and lots of items to buy, including souvenirs.
There are also a number of permanent food and beverage outlets with outdoor seating amongst it all.
A vibrant atmosphere. Well worth a visit and not far from some of the big tourist sights.

Market has a variety of hot food, produce, flowers, household items and souvenirs. This is a great place to sample some of Amsterdam’s best street food. Souvenirs tend to be cheaper than other tourist traps.

I am planning to visit this market in the month of May 29th, will be buying the Dutch cheese, after that I will tour to Norway. Will it stay fresh without Refrigeration? I can always store it in the hotel room's mini fridge, but will be traveling by train/air from one city to another.
Written March 2, 2020
We brought home several varieties of waxed cheeses and had no issues. They were all packed into our suitcases inside plastic bags. We had no leakage and the cheese kept just fine without refrigeration for our trip back. You shouldn't have problems unless you're traveling to Phoenix in the summertime!!!

What days is the market open?
Written January 25, 2020
Good afternoon. The market is open from 9 to 5 from Monday to Saturday, but you don't want to get there by 4 because most vendors will be packing there things, as it happened to me. My tram was late and got there late. But there were still a lot to explore. I highly recommend going early like around 10 or 11. You can use these tram lines: you may take tram lines 4,16, 24 or 25 to get there. I hope this info helps you. Have a great time at the Market

Written September 29, 2019
Hi, we were there going into summer months and we arrived about 10 am and they were setting up. I don't know if the times alter for different seasons. We took a tram there from out the front of Amsterdam central. The food stalls were all there in the morning when we visited.
