Address
Neighbourhood: 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.

- 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 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 24 February 2024
- SwedishtomcatDiss, United Kingdom4,629 contributionsStreet marketA plethora of stalls serving food, souvenirs, clothes, bags and nicknacks. 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 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 28 February 2024
- TCountry2Mittagong, Australia904 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 2024Travelled soloWritten 30 March 2024
- thistle-do-nicelyKilmarnock, United Kingdom878 contributionsGreat Street MarketWe had excellent pita and sticky stroopwaffelen here. 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 2024Travelled with familyWritten 11 April 2024
- SunbeamKuala Lumpur, Malaysia14 contributionsRude Bakerwe heard about this venue and decided to check it out. There was a stall which has a variety of breads. The man at the stall wasn't very pleasant, in fact, i'm of the opinion that he is rude and not courteous to Asian tourists. It ruined our day. Will hesitate to visit again.Visited April 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 12 April 2024
- RebeccaMetzingen, Germany203 contributionsDiverse!Absolutely recommended! Super cute market with lots of stalls. Flowers, jewelry, food, clothing, etc. We feasted our way through the food stalls. The market is easy to get to from de Pijp station, about a 5-minute walk.Visited April 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 18 April 2024
- Alice KPittsburgh, Pennsylvania37 contributionsDo not miss a visit!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.Visited March 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 19 April 2024
- Emily6 contributionsGood marketHad everything on sale at the market. A nice, friendly atmosphere. Had everything on sale from jewellery, food, toiletries and souveniers.

- Todd RNew York City, New York37 contributionsIt's a Nice Street Market - But Nothing Worth Than a 60-90 Minute VisitWhen planning my trip to Amsterdam I noticed many postings about having to go to the Albert Cuyp Market. I added it to my "must do" list and made may way to it on one of the days of my trip. It was one very long street with booths/tables on both sides of the street. They had tons of foods, clothes, souvenirs, etc... for sale. There were several side streets with restaurants and more stores. It was very nice but nothing more than a "flea market" with some Amsterdam Specific items (e.g. Stroopwaffles). How many different cheese or Stroopwaffle stands can you visit? As I only stopped at a few stands and grabbed something quick to eat at one of them. I was done with the whole market in about an hour. Try to go behind the stands and booths to the stores on the street, there are many stores there that do no have a booth or stand in the street. I stumbled across and amazing boxing equipment store there. If I would have stayed in the middle of the street, I probably would have missed this.Visited April 2024Travelled soloWritten 25 May 2024
- Gates PToronto, Canada163 contributionsFlea MarketSo this is really just another flea market layed out over three city blocks. Nothing special other than the Stroopwafels and the raw Herring. Spent about and hour and a half there, then had lunch at Ami. Very nice little place just off the main drag. Can get pretty crazy, so go early and during the week.Visited May 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 31 May 2024

Albert 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.

I visited for lunch. It's easy to tell which store is popular because there will be a long line of people there. I sampled herring, stroopwafels, and sandwiches from a delicious local bakery. The prices were local prices, not tourist prices, so I could eat without worry.
Credit card guard was accepted at every store, which was very convenient.

Came here a couple of times for food, due to the close proximity to our hotel. There are lots of delicious food stalls which are great for the mid morning or afternoon snack (we got stroopwaffles, herring, sandwiches, juice, etc). There’s also some souvenirs here which seemed cheaper than you’ll find in the city centre. Overall, if you’re near and need a snack - definitely check it out.

Market was smaller than expected. Give shop owners exact change for payment - most expensive €20 for buying wooden tulips. Shop owner denies giving me the wrong change. Left shortly after.

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.

Heard 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.

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 visited the market on a day trip to Amsterdam. There are many options for a small or large snack. You can also find traditional Dutch food here in good quality and at a fair price.
There is also all sorts of things to buy, from cheap stuff to antiques and jewelry.
If you're hungry, it's definitely worth a visit.

Heard about the store so I wanted to check it out around lunchtime. When I went, there were lots of tourist shops with their tents and about 25% of them were food stalls.
For stroopwaffles, I went with a lady who makes fresh, large ones for about €2-3 each one and has smaller ones for sale.
For food, I recommend getting one of the smaller ones that sells cheese in bulk. I regrettably bought one of them from a colorful cheese stall, and the cheeses were okay.
The stall that sells chicken sandwiches (and gives you free samples), is cheap, but want's that good.
So it's decent, but nothing amazing.

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 2 March 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 25 January 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 29 September 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.
