Sobre Albert Cuyp Market

The Albert Cuyp Market runs Monday to Saturday between Ferdinand Bolstraat and Van Woustraat in De Pijp, and entry costs nothing, as of 2026. The city set the market up in 1905 as a Saturday-evening market and extended it to six days a week from 1912. Albert Cuyp stalls sell vegetables, fruit, fish, cheese, clothing and household goods, and the street is closed to traffic during market hours, so visitors walk down the middle of the road between rows of white awnings.

Mejor momento del día: Saturday morning around 10:00-12:00. For the fullest range, or a weekday mid-morning for shorter queues.

Historia de Albert Cuyp Market

The Albert Cuyp Market began in 1905 in De Pijp, a district built in the late 19th century for workers and immigrants, and the street was named after the painter Albert Cuyp. By 1912 the market ran six days a week.

The market's mix of goods reflects the neighbourhood's population. Stalls serve residents of Surinamese, Antillean, Turkish and Moroccan origin, so spices, tropical vegetables, halal meat and fabrics sit next to Dutch cheese and herring. Restaurants and bars line the street behind the stalls. Wikipedia describes the market as the busiest in the Netherlands and the largest daytime market in Europe, a claim that is unsourced and should be treated as local pride, not a fact.

Normas y etiqueta en Albert Cuyp Market

The Albert Cuyp Market is a working shopping street, and residents walk through it at pace with bicycles and trolleys, so stopping in the middle of the road for photographs blocks other shoppers. Vendors call out prices, and haggling over food is not done; on clothing stalls, asking is acceptable but discounts are small.

Most stalls take cards, but a few accept only cash, so carry some coins. Pickpockets operate in crowds, especially near the busy central stretch, so keep phones and wallets in front pockets. Tipping at stalls is not expected. Food is sold to eat on the spot, so find a bench on a side street and avoid eating while walking through the crowd.

Consejos para visitar Albert Cuyp Market

1
Albert Cuyp Market is best walked from west to east, starting near Ferdinand Bolstraat, so you see the fish and cheese stalls first and end near the Van Woustraat side, which is quieter. Freshly made stroopwafels, thin waffles filled with caramel syrup, are the standard snack, and fresh ones from a stall beat the packaged tourist versions sold in souvenir shops.
2
Buy herring or a fried-fish snack from a fish stall to eat standing, and ask for a taste at a cheese stall before buying a wedge. Restaurants along the street have tourist menus in English, so choose those with a Dutch or Surinamese menu and local customers. The Rijksmuseum is a 15-minute walk north, and Sarphatipark lies a few minutes to the east for a picnic, and the streets north of the market, around Gerard Douplein, hold small bars where a coffee costs less than on the central squares.
