Hotels near Albert Cuyp Market

Albert Cuyp Market has run daily (Monday to Saturday, roughly 09:00-17:00) since 1905 and stretches for nearly a full kilometre along Albert Cuypstraat in De Pijp. With around 260 stalls, it is Amsterdam's biggest street market - fresh produce, Dutch cheeses, raw herring stands, stroopwafels made on the spot, Surinamese roti, Turkish bread, flowers, clothing, and household goods.

The market reflects Amsterdam's multicultural character better than anywhere else. Come hungry. A fresh stroopwafel (EUR 2-3) straight from the iron is the essential snack. For something more substantial, grab kibbeling (battered fried fish, EUR 5-7) or poffertjes (mini Dutch pancakes, EUR 4-5). The surrounding streets are packed with Indonesian, Surinamese, and Middle Eastern restaurants. Albert Cuyp Market is free to visit.

Pro Tip: Go before 11:00 to browse without the afternoon crush. The best stroopwafel stall is roughly halfway down the market on the south side - look for the longest queue. Pair your market visit with the Heineken Experience, a 5-minute walk north.
