Fodor's Review:
Over 100 years old, the Albert Cuypmarkt is one of the biggest and busiest street markets in Europe. Like the majority of street names in De Pijp, it is named after a Golden Age painter; it welcomes 20,000 shoppers daily during the week and double that number on Saturday. Although you can come here for all your fresh food, textiles, and sundries, the atmosphere alone makes a visit worthwhile. With a decades-long waiting list for a permanent booth, things can get dramatic -- if not occasionally violent -- at 9 every morning on the corner of Sweelinckstraat 1, where the lottery for that day's available temporary spaces takes place.
- Open: Mon.-Sat. 9-5
