De Albert Cuypmarkt

Don’t leave Amsterdam without visiting Albert Cuypmarkt. It’s the place to be if you want to taste some of the snack foods Amsterdam has to offer, all while souvenir shopping (though souvenirs here are not as cheap as Bloemenmarkt).
Some key things to try are definitely the (original) Stoopwafel, poffertjes, cheese, and meatballs.
The stroopwafel truck doesn’t open until 11, whereas the market itself opens at 10. but it’s worth the wait. The stroopwafels are made fresh, right in front of you. You can also buy some packaged ones to go if you like.
Poffertjes are mini pancakes and come with this giant slab of butter. The butter is a bit much for me but the pancakes themselves are great. They taste light and fluffy.
The meatballs are pretty good too. I don’t remember which stand, and they do reheat in a microwave but they were surprisingly good — that is unless I was really hungry, since this was the first thing I ate of the day.
If you’re just want to buy some groceries, they’ve got that too = fresh produce, meat, seafood, and most importantly, CHEESE. The cheese is AMAZING. They let you try before you buy. I wish I got the chance to try some of the seafood. We could have cooked since we were staying in an Airbnb, but it was the beginning of the day and there’s no way I would have carried a dead fish around in my backpack all day.
Tip — try to come earlier in the day as it gets packed later on.

The only place in Amsterdam where you can find lunch for $ 3! Definitely touristy, and definitely worth a visit if you are visiting Amsterdam! You can find a lot of cheap items and food as well.
I’d recommend coming a day other than Saturday if you can, as it gets pretty busy and it was difficult to walk around without being constantly bumped into. The market is not open on Sunday’s.
I bought a spicy chicken sandwich at one of the chicken vendors (I can’t remember the name) :(but it was really great! 100% recommend
PS also free samples of some items as you’re walking through, definitely take advantage of that tapenade

Great street market with variety from fresh produce and street food to kitchen gadgets and clothing. Must stop for an authentic (and the best) made from scratch stroopwafel for only 1.5 euros!

A decently sized outdoor street market with food and goods vendors. I have a fondness for street markets and it’s a lot of fun to slowly meander through it, snacking and shopping hand in hand. Definitely not really much to see, but it’s more about the experience. It’s a good outdoor activity and a nice break from the museums tourist bit.
If you really want to sample several kinds of Dutch foods in one place, this market is for you. If you need some souvenirs, luggage, or some other miscellaneous item, then this market might do the trick.
SX and I went for the food and snacked through the market. Fried seafood (fried cod), waffle slathered in rich, milk chocolate and nuts, herring sandwich, chicken in sandwich-​form and ball-​form, etc.
We went pretty early and unfortunately the stroopwafel vendor wasn’t in yet. Also did not see the poffertjes vendor either. I was really disappointed that we missed out on that.

Best market in Amsterdam is what I’ve been told by the internet and the hotel concierge. Largest as well. Saw both locals and tourists here and it was very packed on a Saturday afternoon. Don’t expect to get anywhere in a hurry. Fruits were cheap and there were multiple 1 Euro fruit juice stands. Other flea market foods I saw people eating were fried fish, chicken, fries, waffles, stoopwafels. The vendors sold things from produce to seafood to electronics to clothes to flowers to souvenirs.

Def not a must see if visiting Amsterdam. It’s a flea market. It has some stalls where you can try various Dutch treats. But other than that nothing to see here folks.

De Albert Cuypmarkt and nearby Sarphatipark are a must see every time I visit the Dam.
The herring stand there draws me like a magnet!
So fresh I think of it as Dutch sashimi and very affordable.
I go there for lunch almost ever day.
The fish stands and flower sellers blow anything I know of in the US away.
Well, at least where I live.
If you like a stand on the street, look behind it where there is often a store with more cool stuff.
Personally, I like this street market more than the larger Waterlooplein.
So many cool things of all sorts to discover.
One nice thing about visiting the Dam is if you forget to pack anything, it’s easy
to pick it up there at a reasonable price.
The only thing that concerns me is over the last several years there seems to be less
ready to eat seafood in the past like eel and salmon.
Time was that the freshest salmon was everywhere.
Even salmon pizza.
In any event, this market is not to be missed if you visit Amsterdam.

Ein Markt durch den man mal durschledern kann, ich denke das hier jeder was finden kann, es ist aber ein gewöhnlicher Markt wie in Italien die Wochenmärkte.
Die landestypischen Stände, außer zwei bis drei Käsestände, habe ich schon ein bißchen vermisst.

Super cute market! I got a couple of souvenirs here, including slippers that look like the iconic wooden cogs, a music box, and a sweatshirt. Also you need to get their juices at the juice bars! Way cheaper than in the center of the city (centruum?). There’s a lot of ready to eat food, raw meat, nuts, dried fruit, etc. I really wanted an Amsterdam tshirt that I saw a boy wear in Paris, and even though I couldn’t find it, there were a lot of other cute tourist shirts for about € 10 – 15. The sweatshirt I got was € 17.50. Every place I’ve seen sells their wares at the same price so there’s no need to worry about getting the best deal, just the best designs. I did see magnets and key chains for € 1, which is cheaper than most other places.
¹⁰⁄₁₀ would recommend you visit if you have time! Especially if you live nearby.

It’s like a flea market with food! I tried a lot of Dutch food I think, including fries in a cone, herring sandwich, and the puffs made of flour for which I don’t know the name. Clothes, souvenirs, and all! The street isn’t too long so it’s possible to go through this in probably an hour, but definitely come check it out!

Einen Straßenzug entlang befinden sich mehr oder weniger Ramsch– und Billigwaren. Ein paar Essens– und Blumenstände gibt es auch. An einem Montag war nicht viel los. Es gab nicht wirklich viel zu stöbern oder interessantes zu kaufen.

A great outdoor market that is an excellent start to exploring the surrounding De Pijp area. You can buy anything from flowers to herring to a new shirt here, but I would recommend stopping by any of the delicious bakeries along the street, picking up some cheese and olives at one of the numerous cheese stalls and walking yourself over to the nearby park to enjoy your purchases amongst the greenery. Also keep an eye out for the juice stalls and the quirky combinations that are on offer there — orange, strawberry and raspberry anyone?

I LOVE THIS PLACE. I loved it so much I went here twice haha. It’s a pretty big outdoor market that has everything you can think of. The first time I went here, I didn’t know my way around Amsterdam so I walked *whew*, second time I biked (thank god). Which, btw being someone who doesn’t bike EVER… biking around Amsterdam was pretty scary at first but super fun once I got the hang of traffic.
ANYWAY, I tried a bunch of food but here were my favorites:
Stroopwaffel: Pretty sweet, but really tasty! I could probably eat one weekly, but sadly of course I don’t have access to this back home
Chicken: This sounds so simple, but I assure you it wasn’t. There is this area at the market that sells chicken (wings, whole, raw, cooked, etc.) and I decided, why not? The chicken was so moist and the flavor was like nothing I’ve ever had before. I went here twice as well haha. And you could tell it must have been a good local spot because as I was eating there I noticed a few locals come up and order massive amounts of food to go for family gatherings.
The fresh juices were super good and refreshing. Although a bit pricey, I thought it was worth it.
This vendor was selling waffles with a selection of toppings and I got the milk chocolate syrup with nuts… Sometimes I think about this waffle and just wish I could have another huhuhuhuh =(
Overall, this place is really great to walk around, eat a few things, and shop a bit. I don’t think you should leave Amsterdam without coming here at least once.
I see someone said they’re only open on Sundays… but I don’t think that’s right, maybe that person meant to say they’re closed on Sundays because I went twice in one week and they were open both times.

The market is a great size, lots of options but not so big that you get overwhelmed or bored. In addition to clothes, housewares and jewelry there are great fruits/​vegetables, flowers, olives and sea food. I thought this was a great option for lunch. Get a fried fish sandwich for a few dollars and follow it up with a fresh stroopwaffel or some Poffertjes! These street foods were my favorite thing in Amsterdam.

FYI: only open on Sundays
I heard about this market from people in my hostel. It was supposed to have souvenirs at half price but that promise did not materialize. It’s more for locals than tourists featuring clothing and groceries for the most part. There are quite a bit of stalls selling ready to eat foods as well. It’s worth going if you’re in the area already but not something to go out of your way to see.

I love the market. It has neighborhood feel and flair. It has a lot of stuff, too. However, I think it needs more stuff and more food, food vendors. It’s probably better during the warmer months. Still it’s a great place to hunt for stuff or something in particular. It’s open everyday except Sunday. If you get tired of the market there’s always a cozy restaurant or bar just the other side of the booths.

A must-​visit food and wares market. I didn’t care much for the wares, which is fairly typical flea-​market stuff (although we did buy some socks lol) but the food was amazing.
Try the poffertjes… a stack of ridiculously delicious mini pancakes served on a pad of butter and doused with icing sugar. Try the stroopwaffle… a gooey layer of caramel sandwiched between two thin, crunchy waffle biscuits. Try the herring on a bun with onions and pickles. Try the Dutch frites with mayo… because you’re in Amsterdam and it’s illegal not to :)
Take the tram to Albert Cuypstraat and arrive hungry (preferably stoned).

Un marché dans le quartier populaire d’Amsterdam.
Je vous conseille d’y aller pour le déjeuner en aillant faim et de goûter tous les stands ! Fromages, brootje, jus, du poulet cuisiné de toutes les façon, du pain et des patisseries, vous trouverez de tout.
En plus de la nourriture, vous trouverez tout le reste ! Des babioles, des sonnettes pour vélos, du tissu, etc.
Une super ambiance dans un quartier bien animé, surtout le samedi. J’ai adoré !

This is a very large open market full of professionals selling what they sell at other markets across Amsterdam: purses, dresses for skinny women, inexplicably cheap toiletries, cell phone and tablet accessories, also for super cheap, bolts of fabric, t-​shirts, kids’ toys, and just random stuff that might amuse tourists.
Pro Tip: This market runs up and down Albert Cuypstraat from west to east. The prepared food stands (fish, bread, french fries, egg rolls, etc.) are heavily concentrated on the east side of the market. So if you’re just looking for some quick noms, start off from the east side of the market. It takes 30 – 45 mins to walk through the whole market, so you’ll save a lot of time this way if all you want is food.

I was really excited to check out this street market, because I had read good things about it on the internet. Supposedly the biggest one in Amsterdam or something?
But when we visited on a Tuesday afternoon, I was a bit disappointed because it looked kind of dead. There wasn’t that much going on, and I didn’t see any stroopwaffels. :(
My boyfriend wanted to try some fried chicken from a vendor that drew a small crowd, so we got some drumsticks and a chicken sandwich. But I don’t know if it was due to the Indonesian influence or what, but I found it too be way too oily, salty, sweet and spicy for my taste. There were even additional sauces on the side if you wanted to slather even more sweet chili sauce on.
Across from the popular chicken stand was a stand giving out free samples of olives, which were pretty good. We decided to take some green and black olives with feta cheese, hummus, and a ginormous loaf of bread with us for a picnic later at Het Vondelpark.
Unfortunately, we didn’t have a picnic blanket with us, and my bf had the brilliant idea of buying some old clothes from another vendor to sit on in lieu. I spied a giant mumu, and we thought it would have been perfect to rip apart and sit on… but then I found a felt IKEA blanket for only 2 euros that was probably more suitable for our needs. Darn, so close! This would have been the trip to remember… with the mumu impromptu picnic blanket. Haha…

Pretty cool market with a lot of stuff going on. It’s located in an area with a lot of restaurants, and if you walk a few blocks past the market, you can stroll along the Amstel River which is nice.
Anyways, they literally have everything at this market. Seriously, everything. Food, cheap clothing/​bags etc is what you would expect at your typical street market. Which they have. But they also have stands that sell shampoo, conditioner, that kind of stuff which I thought was interesting. Anyways, there’s a large variety of everything and you’re bound to find something that suits your tastes whether that be a fruit juice on a hot summer day or some trinket as a souvenir. I was sent here since I wanted to try some typical Dutch cuisine – I got my herring and stroopwafels here.
tldr; you can literally find anything that you’re looking for, definitely worth a walk to at least experience the atmosphere

This was my favorite place to shop in Amsterdam. Better then any thrift store, vintage shop or shopping mall was this market. They have everything from food, jeans, socks, underwear, flowers, knic knacks, cheese, leggings, baked goods, jewelry, you name it they have it! I got a brand new pair of jeans here for 10 euro. Why would I go to a real store again and pay 3 times as much? no thanks. Also scored some fries with mayo for 2 euro and I noticed a lot of people there were speaking dutch-​likely locals. I always love places where tourists are not.

If you’re visiting Amsterdam, try the warm stroopwaffels with caramel or warm chocolate from one of the vendors and also the loempias. Heaven!
If you like going to flea markets, we’d suggest this place for shopping. Fresh produce, sea food and meat too.

Ein Besuch dieses bunten Marktes lohnt sich. Zwar gibt es, wie in Deutschland auch, neben Frischwaren und Textilien auch Wunderschläuche und Superreiniger, aber das Angebot ist groß und vielfältig und allein das bunte Völkergemisch für sich ist schon interessant.
Lecker sind frische Satéspieße dort am Hähnchengrill.
Einen Kaffee und Snacks kann man auch gut in der ansässigen Van-​Dobben-​Filiale nehmen. Und zur Erholung begibtman sich in den Sapharti-​Park um die Ecke.

War letzte Woche mal wieder zum Shoppen in Amsterdam genial!!!

Aufgrund unseres netten Zimmer-​Vermittlers, dem ich mit meinen beschränkten Englisch-​Kenntnissen auch nur beschränkt folgen konnte, besuchten wir diesen etwas ungewöhnlichen Markt.
Obwohl ich persönlich einige Stände nicht besonders toll fand, waren meine beiden Männer doch extrem angetan. Und es gibt wirklich alles! Eben noch Fahrradschlösser bestaunt, schon schnuppernd bei den Grillhähnchen vorbei zu den Gardinen getaumelt Wir waren wohl etwas zu pünktlich man war auch um halb elf noch beim Aufbau, so dass mir persönlich die zweite Hälfte besser gefiel. Ob der Aufbau der Stände variiert, weiß ich leider nicht. Die Fisch-​, Blumen– und Käsestände waren jedenfalls extrem beeindruckend! Auf jeden Fall ein Muss beim Amsterdam-​Besuch!

Neben einigen Perlen auf dem Makt, wie Fischhändler und Käseläden, gibt es auch viel Schund.

C’est un marché animé et qui mérite le détour pour découvrir une autre facette de la ville.
Je le recommande en particulier pour son petit marchand de hareng fumés à manger sur le pouce. Pour les amateurs c’est tout simplement à tomber.
PS: pour acheter un vélo hollandais vous en trouverez à partir de 100EUR.

War nach all den guten Bewertungen der Vorgänger herb enttäuscht. Eine Menge billigen und nutzlosen Krempel. Höchstens 2 – 3 nützliche oder interessante Stände auf dem ganzen Markt. Die Nebenstrassen sind tatsächlich viel interessanter, das hat allerdings nichts mehr mit dem Markt zu tun und muss hier ja nicht erwähnt werden. Der eigentliche Markt, war eine reine Zeitverschwendung.

Entgegen der positiven Artikeln und der Homepage über den Albert Cuyp Markt war ich sehr enttäuscht. Ich hatte ihn mir außergewöhnlicher und wertiger vorgestellt,ähnlich wie den Camden Market in London. Allerdings war es eher wie eine Ansammlung von 1EUR​-Shop​-Sor​ti​menten​.Im Grunde hatten die Geschäfte auf dieser Straße einen Verkaufsstand ein paar Meter vor der Tür aufgestellt.
Sehr vereinzelt gab es Händler mit Gewürzen, Bonbons, brauchbaren Wohnaccessoires oder Vintage-Klamotten.Ansonsten viel Kitsch, Nippes, Nepp. Wer nur wenig Zeit mitbringt, sollte sich diesen Markt sparen.
Interessant sind die Nebenstraßen des Viertels, de Pijp. Hier gibt es mehr zu entdecken und zu erschmecken als auf dem A.C. Markt.
Wesentlich schöner, aber auch sehr viel kleiner ist der
Flohmarkt Waterlooplein an der Stopera.

Den Markt fanden wir die letzten Male zwar nicht mehr so toll, da er einfach viel standardisierter geworden ist und teurer — aber er bleibt, wenn man deutsche Märkte gewohnt ist einfach spannend… mal schlendern und wundern und in den Seitengassen kann man sehr sehr lecker Kaffee trinken oder indonesisch oder surinamesisch essen!!! Egal welches Lokal — alle sind lecker und günstig und freundlich war jedesmal unsere Erfahrung! Roti lieben wir! Gibt es auch vegetarisch… kann aber scharf sein. Kaffee von der sympathischen Kette «Coffee company» geht immer. Hier muss man sich nur durch den Wirrwarr der 1000 lekcren Mögllichkeiten kämpfen bis man zu einer Entscheidung kommt. Hmmm leckere Kekse dazu!!! Man ist hier mitten in der ArbeiterGegend und mitten im Leben — viel Getummel Feilschen und co! Bitte auf Taschen achten Diebe unterwegs.

en plein centre de Pijp (la pipe, marché atypique d’Amsterdam, car on retrouve a priori de tout! Genre bouffe macrobiotique en passant par des vélos un moment il y avait même un vendeur de thé au haschisch Il faut aussi voir l’ambiance autour, les cafés, et les habitations, car avant c’était un quartier pauvre d’Amsterdam et maintenant assez en vogue un peu comme a la Bastille etc etc

echt ein sehr cooler markt wo immer was los ist! man kann hier auch ein bisschen feilschen, habe schuhe schon fuer 5 euro weniger bekommen!:)von federboa und blumengirlanden über fahrradschloss bis lebensmittel und haarfarbe bekommt man echt alles! unbedingt einmal durchlaufen!

Der Albert Cuyp Markt ist eine riesige Strasse die zu Geschäftszeiten nur für diesen großartigen Markt da ist. Es gibt alle Arten von Geschäften wie Fahrradhändler, Fahrradschlosshändler, Wurst, Käse, Gewürze und sogar Zahnpasta und co.
Hier werden alle Arten von Waren marktschreierischerweise Angeboten: Kaufen Sie die Zahnpasta und Sie bekommen einen Lippenstift dazu :)
Ich fand den Aufenthalt höchst amüsant und Unterhaltend, ich wäre nie auf die Idee gekommen z.B. meinen Drogeriebedarf an einem Marktplatz zu erstehen.
Besonders gefallen hat mir der Gewürzladen in welchem man nicht nur viele Teesorten, sondern auch z.B. mindestens 8 verschiedene Currymischungen erstehen kann.

Der Albert Cuyp Markt ist einer der größten und günstigsten Märkte der Stadt, der feine Duft, der über den Markt zieht, kommt von den Gewürzen und Schmankerln aus aller Herren Länder.
Über 300 Markstände laden hier zum Bummeln ein.

Ich kann mich nur anschließen: Ein Besuch lohnt sich auf jeden Fall. Es macht einfach Spaß, sich unter die Einheimischen und die Touris zu mischen.
Oftmals gehören die Marktstände zu den dahinterliegenden Geschäften. Also ruhig mal ein bißchen tiefer ins Geschehen eindringen!

Mitten im Amsterdamer Stadtteil Pijp gelegen ist der Cuyp Markt wohl der bekannteste Markt der Hauptstadt seit über 100 Jahren. Hier bekommt man alles, von Käse über Souvenirs, Drogerieartikeln, Blumen bis zu Kleidung, frischem Obst und Gemüse und Fahrrädern. Über 200 Geschäfte säumen die Straße auf der sich der Markt befindet und laden zum shoppen ein.
Auch ist hier vieles günstiger als in anderen Läden in der Stadt. Das gilt besonders für die Souvenirs.
Ein Besuch lohnt sich auf jeden Fall, es ist ein schöner Markt, der auch von den Einheimischen sehr gerne genutzt wird.

Génial
Ce marché est très sympa et coloré. On y trouve de tout: fringues, fruits, fleurs, légumes et des stands à poissons.
