Albert Cuyp Markt, Amsterdam Oud-Zuid, Amsterdam

This is an Amsterdam must see, especially if you like markets. There is something for everyone, basic toiletries, clothing, food, knick knacks. They also make some of the best stroopwafels in Amsterdam. They are made right in front of you, sticky, sweet, and warm, simply divine. Try the cheeses, too. The whole De Pijp neighborhood is worth a visit.

Cheap market goods are always worth a stroll for some local culture and deals, but inevitably, there's so much to do in Amsterdam that this should fall low on your list.

Tip: If you come from the Ferdinand Bol side of the market (so not the van Wouwstraat side), the first green grocer on the right side is absolutely amazing. I buy my vegetables here every week and never paid more than €7,- And that's for five days, for two persons!
For the rest the market is ok for cheese (1/2 the price as in stores nowadays) and there's drugstore booth where you can get 3 for €5,- products that would normally also cost you more. As a local I go there at least once a week (and skip all the touristic trash that is also sold there, of course)

A great place to waste an hour or two, tucked away from the main places but well worth a visit. You never know what you find, bric a brac, 2nd records and books, fabric, jewellrey, lovely food some fabulous antiquey type stuff

A fairly nice but average market. All sorts of lovely things on offer. I especially liked some chocolate I bought there. It had something a bit different in it, sadly I forgot to ask what so if you venture here please have a taste!

BUT I ended my trip to this market early due to an over amorous market trader who persisted to follow me around until even after I advised him that I wasnt single or interested! This happened to me a few times in Amsterdam so Id advise any younger ladies going here to be a bit aware that you might get this. However I did not have any other trouble in this city.

However that being said, this is a nice place to visit when in Amsterdam for those who need a rest from the wild nights and those who arent into the more 'red’ side of the city.

You go to the Albert Cuyp Market for fresh frood and vegetables (not expensive), warm syrup waffles (do try them!), different kinds of clothing, fruit juice, nuts, chocolate penises (seriously), fabrics, make-up and corny lingerie with a nice wink from the seller :D

In the actual shops you’ll find the best clothing (Sjerpetine!) and there’s “Peperbol” for all kinds of species.
