The Best Markets in Amsterdam
Where the city shops, snacks and haggles
From the buzzing Albert Cuyp to the floating flower market, Amsterdam's street markets are where you taste and feel everyday city life.
Amsterdam's street markets are some of the best places to feel the everyday rhythm of the city — to snack, browse, and watch locals shop. Here are the ones worth seeking out; see our markets page for opening days and details.
Albert Cuyp Market
The Netherlands' largest and most famous street market, running through De Pijp — food, flowers, clothes, and fresh stroopwafels. (Coming soon to our guide.)
Noordermarkt
A charming Jordaan market: organic farmers' produce and a beloved flea market on Saturday and Monday mornings.
Bloemenmarkt
The world's only floating flower market, lining the Singel canal with tulips, bulbs, and souvenirs.
Waterlooplein
The city's classic flea market — vintage, secondhand, records, and curios near the old Jewish Quarter.
Ten Katemarkt
A lively, local daily market in Oud-West, strong on fresh food and street snacks, near the Foodhallen.
Dappermarkt
A vibrant, multicultural daily market in Amsterdam Oost, reflecting the diversity of its neighbourhood.
Each has its own character — the markets are free to wander, so dip into a few and snack as you go.
