Albert Cuyp Market has tons of stalls lining both sides of Ferdinand Bolstraat. During the start of the week it is easier to navigate; as the weekend nears it gets very busy!!! It is lively - food vendors calling out their special deals to attract passer-by'rs. We go for the fresh produce and fresh spice/herb collection. As is typical for... More

The market is in a great location, with lots of stalls full of all kinds of merchandise from cheese to shoes. The side streets offer small cafe bars and restaurants so you can really spend all day there.

This is the place where you can buy fresh meat, cheese and bakery. If you want to enjoy the local food and culture this is the place to be. You can easily spend an hour to browse over the stalls.

This market seems to cater to both the locals and the tourists. The owner of our apartment recommended it for fresh food (which looked wondeful)! There were several stands with typical souvenirs such as key chains, wooden shoes, travel patches, etc...Ladies, if you are looking for pashminas or scarves...this is a good place to look! There were so many choices... More

As much as I like outdoor markets, this is not one of my favorites. There are some nice food stalls, but there are just too many "junk" stands selling cheap clothing and expired beauty supplies to suit me. If you happen to find yourself in the area, give it a quick spin.

De Pijp is a nice part of town whre there is a huge park, large market, small resturants. Young, old, hip, 100 shops, students, artist, families mixed and new old houses. a great place to walk around in and soon you feel at home. It start just south of The Heineken. Go there.

I really fail to see how this market is any different to any other street market. There are a lot of fresh food stalls, a LOT of tacky clothes stalls and some more interesting nik nak stalls but essentially this is a very average market.

Nice european market. If the weather is good, I recommended blocking off an hour to stroll through this diverse market. If you plan on going to the Heineken museum you can probably fit this in before or after. It's only about a 5-10 minute walk between the two.

It is a street market, no more no less. A long stretching of stalls along the Albert Cuyp street. Stalls are not organized in any specific pattern so walking the entire stretch is probably the right tactics. One can find here clothes, souvenirs, food and more. Everything seems to be the average stuff that can be found in any such... More

We went to this market in mid March. It is a long narrow market running most of the length of the street. The stalls are mixed up, so there is no food section, but the food stalls are dotted around. If you are interested in markets for food then this market could prove a bit of a disappointment. I would... More
