    Albert Cuyp Market

    Stroll through the Albert Cuyp Market. Even in the late afternoon, the stalls are active, and it is the perfect spot to grab a quick snack or browse the local goods before the crowds thin out further.

    Holtkamp

    Walk to Holtkamp, the city’s best pastry cafe. Order a 'holdkampf' with fillings or the famous Sachertorte. It is a quiet, refined spot to enjoy a sweet treat and rest your feet.

    Rialto

    Head to the Rialto cinema. Located just a short walk from the market, this is the place for art-house cinema in its original language. Check the schedule for a late-afternoon or early evening showing to round out your visit.

Local tip
