Top ways to experience Albert Cuyp Market
The area
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.

- Arthur MHamilton, Canada1,038 contributionsA diverse array of products and cultures being represented!This street market seemed to have just about everything. Food, decor, clothing, accessories, you name it! A lot of cultures are represented too. Italian, Turkish, Mexican, Indonesian, Filipino, and of course the good ol Dutch! It also stretches pretty long and so it took a while for us to browse through the stalls and taste out the food as well. I loved the Stroopwaffels in the market. Very well recommended!Visited December 2022Written January 2, 2023
- leandra0414Anderson, Missouri21 contributionsA Fun ExperienceWorth the visit. We enjoyed seeing all the food stalls, but the clothes, etc. were your typical touristy, kitschy fare. We went on a Saturday and a Thursday. Saturday was far busier, but there was more available to see. We had taken cash out of an ATM before arriving at the market assuming we needed it; however, most stalls are cashless.Visited March 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten March 29, 2023
- Cme1234Singapore, Singapore442 contributionsVery nice walk. Go there on an empty stomachThere 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.Visited April 2023Traveled soloWritten April 21, 2023
- kathleenl183Texas225 contributionsSomething for everyoneI came to the market on a Friday afternoon after visiting the Van Gogh museum. It’s only a 10-15 minute walk from there so great to group these together in the same day. There are about 3 blocks of stalls to walk down and there’s something for everyone - different kinds of Dutch foods, Mexican tacos, Asian foods and various vendors selling anything you could possibly want from seafood to flowers to souvenirs. I tried bitterballen, fries with Mayo, poffertjes. I got 2 pairs of earrings and a windmill figurine as a gift for a family member. The prices were reasonable and I walked away a happy (and full) camper!Visited April 2023Traveled soloWritten April 24, 2023
- Maureen HJay, New York35 contributionsWorth a visitWorthwhile street market. Lots of vendors of all sorts: crafts and food and household items and souvenirs. Good values to be had. Note that it says it opens at 9:00 but many vendors are not set up until significantly later. Bring your appetite!Visited April 2023Written May 3, 2023
- Gillian JGerrards Cross, United Kingdom141 contributionsEverything you need from a market, with plenty to eat and drink in surrounding streets.This market is huge extending for several blocks. You could pretty much set your whole house up, cloth the whole family and eat a different meal each day for weeks. Local fruit, veg, flowers, tourist tat and food delicacies. Music, drink and much more.Visited May 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten May 19, 2023
- LeonhknyHong Kong, China14,204 contributionsInteresting marketAlbert Cuypmarkt is a huge market for both locals and tourists. The long row of shops and stalls offers everything from food, fresh produces to handicrafts. Despite of the almost omnipresent tourists, goods are still cheaper than those in the city center. Make sure you arrive here hungry; a plethora of eateries will fill you up.Visited June 2023Written June 5, 2023
- RikardoMurska Sobota, Slovenia6 contributionsGood prices, nice location, a ton of options to choose fromNice 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.Visited June 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten June 14, 2023
- Tom JLondon, United Kingdom1,577 contributionsGood outside market with a few food options and market stallsWe 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.Visited July 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten August 2, 2023

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.

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.

If you haven't explored this market then you are wasting your time being wasted in Amsterdam. This is an adventure which will take about 2 or more hours from your day. I advise that you start early around 10 am. It is great for walking and exploring, there is a tram that gets there, so if you are using your unlimited pass then go to this market... Wear comfortable shoes, keep an umbrella handy as well you never know. I had a great day, it was sunny and humid, and I think without rain in Amsterdam was a great way to explore this market. I had some great lemonades, pancakes, waffles, and much much much more. I highly recommend this activity if you are visiting Amsterdam. I would love to go back and explore more again. Enjoy Amsterdam and the market...It is a good activity with children as well.

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.

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?
Abdul M

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

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.
