Albert Cuyp-markt is a street market in Amsterdam’s De Pijp, named after painter Albert Cuyp.

Its stalls line a busy Amsterdam street.

The market grew from informal traders and pushcarts before becoming an official municipal market.

During market activity, traffic gives way to pedestrians around the stalls.

Fresh vegetables, fruit, fish, flowers, clothing and cameras fill the market.

Food brings another layer.

You can find Dutch stroopwafels, poffertjes and Gouda alongside goods shaped by Surinamese, Antillean, Turkish and Moroccan communities.

Restaurants and bars stand behind the market, adding more places to eat and explore.

The result is a multicultural meeting place for residents, students, entrepreneurs and visitors.

De Pijp supplies the neighbourhood setting.

The market is regarded as the busiest in the Netherlands, reflecting its place in Amsterdam’s daily life.

A statue of singer André Hazes connects the street with local music history.

His discovery as a street artist happened here.

The market brings shopping, humour and gezelligheid together on one colourful Amsterdam street.
