Party Earth Review: Named after a leading Dutch landscape painter of the 17th century, the Albert Cuyp Markt contains over three hundred booths that line the street and make up the country’s largest outdoor market. The hundreds of merchants offer excellent deals on everything from fresh produce to clothing to housing accessories, as well as on traditional Dutch products and crafts. Since most stands are more like store outlets, haggling isn’t very common, although some of the second-hand booths might be willing to offer larger discounts. Like most people in Amsterdam, the merchants speak English and a number of other languages, so asking questions about products and prices is never a problem. The lively market and the hordes of bargain hunters it attracts can be overwhelming at times, so many shoppers opt for a relaxing lunch break at one of the many café terraces located throughout the area. And once the Albert Cuyp Markt has packed up for the day, new crowds of chatty, trendy locals fill the bars and cafés to create a street party atmosphere that goes all night.

Albert Cuyp Markt Review

“Look for the orange juice and fruit smoothie tables set up beside the produce stands. You can always find a freshly-squeezed glass of something sweet and refreshing for about €1.”
