The area

Neighborhood: Centrum
Amsterdam’s buzzing hub, with its sprawling network of tram rails and a seemingly constant flow of tourists and commuters, yields convenient access to some of the best sightseeing, shopping, and street life in Europe. Closest at hand are the Royal Palace, the quaint shops of Haalremmerdijk, the pedestrianized zones Kalverstraat and Dam Square with popular neighborhoods such as the Red Light District, and the Canal Ring hardly more than a moment’s stroll away. With the well-connected Centraal Station as Centrum’s base, it's easy to travel farther afield via one of the city’s iconic trams.

We landed early in the AM; by the time we cleared customs and dropped off our bags, the market was open. I was surprised to find that there wasn't any coffee for sale (and the cafes around it were packed), but there were stands selling Poffertjes (small dutch pancakes), fresh produce, and aged cheese that was safe to travel with because they don't need to be constantly refrigerated. The focus on this market was really thrift, and you can find a lot of great things here if that's your interest.

We adored the sights and scents of the abundant produce, cheeses, meats, and seafood. Together with stalls offering both new and old clothes, there were sellers selling antiques. There were several kiosks filled with gorgeous sweaters and coats because winter is almost approaching.

I enjoy taking my time exploring and finding new things. I purchase fruit, cheese, outerwear, shoes, blouses, t-shirts, and a lot more. After that, I go to The Church to see my preferred book sellers. I always succeed when I buy books on my career and pastime.

You can find so much delicious-ness at this market. We also went to the Albert Cuyp market the previous day and enjoyed both but this one seemed to have more in the way of fresh foods and we just found more to our liking here. Make sure to stop if in Amsterdam. Believe it is Saturday morning only.

A fairly large farmers' market with many stalls. You can find cooked food, fresh farmers' produce, clothings and little knickknacks here. A very nice spot to enjoy a leisurely Saturday morning.

I stayed in an apartment a few blocks away so this was definitely on my to-do list. It isn't the largest market but everything is top quality and you can tell that the food vendors were proud of what they were selling. The first thing I did was sit down at a counter to have a breakfast Dutch pancake with bacon and syrup. (Think French crepe). Yum, and only €4. One booth was selling 40+ types of mushrooms. I bought some delicious raspberry jam from a woman who said she comes in for the market from the south of The Netherlands. A few booths selling great looking bread and desserts. A few booths with great looking fruits and vegetables. And, of course, cheese, cheese, cheese. About half the market was a flea market with clothes, bric a brac, etc. But one booth had 80+ year old etchings and prints that I looked over for 15 minutes and another booth had interesting antique tiles from houses. These were only €10 and €20, depending on size and age. If you could find them elsewhere I am sure they would cost double. OK, a nice little fair and some purchases to munch on in my apartment the next couple of days. Then I saw a lot of people walking on a side street so I checked it out. Who knew that just a couple of end blocks away there was an even larger Saturday street market?! The Lindengracht Markt with about 200 stalls and about 3 blocks long. This market was a mix throughout of food and merchandise. I had the impression that the food here was less expensive because it's not "organic". But everything looked great to me; they probably just can't win the lottery to get into the primo Noordermarkt. So if you combine these two neighboring markets together, it's definitely worth going to. On my trip to Amsterdam, I went to other markets. The Albert Cupt Market is large with lots of food to graze on while you walk around and the best choice of new inexpensive clothing, leather products, etc. Every day except Sunday. It's in a working class neighborhood, but safe to walk around. The Waterlooplein Market was my least favorite. But the combined Saturday Noordermarkt/Lindengrachtmarkt would be my choice if I only had time for only one. And it's in one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in the City.

Spent a lovely Saturday morning at this great street market. We took tram #3 and alighted at Marnixplein station. 10 mins walk along Westerstraat and you should find this lovely market. What I like about the Noordermarket vs the Albert Cuystraat market is that Noordermarket is less commercial and you really shop shoulder to shoulder with the locals. The Cheeses, Chocolate, Soups, Seafood, fresh fruits are out of this world. Great choice of clothings, esp for the ladies at a great price as well. Another great market, the Lindengracht market is only a block away. You can easily spend 3 hours in these 2 markets to absorb in the great atmosphere.

The dutch are probably the friendliest people on this earth and are always ready to help. When we seemed lost on which direction to take from the tram station, a really nice local lady actually walked 10 mins with us just to make sure we arrive at the Noordermarket safely! Am really in love with this great country and her friendly citizens!

Unremarkable. Average farmers' market. Might as well check out if sightseeing Jordaan neighbourhood or going to Winkel 43 for the apple pie. Otherwise no need to go out of one's way to find.

I went at around 10am on a Saturday morning and was not disappointed, it is only open on a Saturday so plan accordingly. Stall upon stall of amazing produce, tantalizing baked goods, meats and charcuterie, an assortment of prepared foods to feast on, cheeses, seafood, teas and coffee, flowers, clothing, books, leather goods, shoes, electronics, flea market type stalls, vendors selling new products, the list is endless of what you can find here. The vendors were friendly, spoke English and very approachable and it was a great mix of both tourists and locals.

When I first got there I thought it was just the stalls outside the church, but then I wandered down a few blocks behind the church and found a few more miles of stalls so be sure to see the whole thing. Definitely the best place to buy cheese to bring home, as it is cheaper than the chain stores in the tourist areas.

Also lots of live musicians playing in various places, on a sunny day this place was a little bit of paradise. By the time I saw all the stalls and ate I was there about 3-4 hours.
