Albert Cuyp Market Tours and Activities
2 Reviews
One of Europe’s biggest outdoor markets, Albert Cuyp Market has welcomed shoppers since 1904 when it began as a collection of street traders. Named after the 17th-century painter, today's market offers stalls filled with food, clothes, and more, giving locals and travelers a robust shopping destination.
The Basics
The market has more than 300 stalls lining both sides of Albert Cuypstraat offering food—fruit, vegetables, cheese, fish, and spices—as well as clothes, beauty products, electronics, and bedding at low prices. The melting pot of local residents means multiple cultures are represented at the market, including aromatic Turkish, Moroccan, and Surinamese foods and colorful furnishings.
Travelers have many choices to explore Albert Cuyp Market as part of a half-day or full-day group or private tour that includes adventures on a hop-on hop-off bus, a canal cruise, or a guided walking experience of the De Pijp district.
