Albert Cuyp Market is an outdoor street market on Albert Cuypstraat in the De Pijp neighborhood of Amsterdam, established in 1905. It is one of the largest daytime markets in the Netherlands and a long-running local trading spot.

Stalls stretch along the main street and nearby side streets, with roughly 250-270 vendors selling fresh produce, cheese, fish, flowers, clothing and prepared snacks. Shoppers find a mix of everyday groceries and Dutch specialties in a compact, informal layout that is easy to walk through in under an hour at a moderate pace.

The market began as a local neighborhood market in the early 20th century and expanded over decades into a major open-air market for the city. It has continued as a daily commercial venue and tourist draw while remaining integrated with the surrounding residential area.

The market sits in Amsterdam’s De Pijp district in the borough of Zuid, a short distance southeast of the historic city centre and near other landmarks and tram lines. It runs along Albert Cuypstraat and is within walking distance of several museums and cafes.

• Opening pattern: Operates six days a week, typically Monday to Saturday, and draws both locals and tourists for everyday shopping and snack foods.
• Scale and wares: Around 260 stalls line the market on busy days, selling fresh produce, fish, cheese, flowers and street food such as stroopwafels.

Albert Cuyp Market is in the De Pijp neighborhood. Take tram lines 3 or 12 to Ceintuurbaan/Albert Cuypstraat stop, or tram 4 to Ferdinand Bolstraat. From Amsterdam Centraal, trams and metro lines connect directly; it’s a 15-20 minute ride by public transit.

• Visit early (08:00-10:00) to see the market before tourists and to get the best produce.
• Bring a reusable bag and small change; many vendors accept cards but small purchases are cash-friendly.
• Try a stroopwafel from the bakeries around the market rather than the tourist stalls.
