Albert Cuyp Market, Street market in De Pijp, Netherlands.
Albert Cuyp Market is a large street market along Albert Cuypstraat with around 260 stands selling produce, cheese, baked goods, clothing, and household items. The stalls line up closely along the street and create a lively open-air shopping experience.
The market was founded in 1904 and grew from a collection of street vendors into one of the largest outdoor markets in the Netherlands. Over the decades, it attracted more sellers and became the central trading hub of the De Pijp neighborhood.
The market reflects Amsterdam's diversity, where neighbors from different backgrounds sell and shop side by side for fresh goods. The vendors and visitors form a community that gathers and exchanges here every day.
The market sits centrally in Amsterdam and is easy to reach on foot or by bike. Shopping in the morning offers the best selection, as some stalls may have less stock by afternoon.
At several stalls, bakers prepare fresh stroopwafels directly in front of visitors, filling the air with the scent of caramel and warm dough. This daily ritual draws many visitors who want to taste a freshly made waffle.
