  1. BuyZuid

    Albert Cuyp Market

    Largest street market in Amsterdam, and the best-known street market in the country. It is iconic for the "De Pijp" neighborhood and its working-class inhabitants. There is something for everyone here, whether you're looking for delicious Dutch treats, clothing or second-hand cameras. There's also a wide array of stores that cater to the city's Surinamese, Antillean, Turkish and Moroccan inhabitants, giving the market and neighborhood a strong multicultural feel. Can get very crowded, so watch out for pickpockets.

    Mon-Sat 09:00-17:00

  2. BuyCanal District

    Bloemenmarkt

    The world's only floating flower market, open daily on the Singel between Koningsplein and Muntplein. It is very touristy, but you could do worse than buying your tulips here. Make sure you buy pre-approved bulbs if taking them to the U.S. or Canada. They will have the holographic licence and export tag on the bag.

  3. BuyOost

    Dappermarkt

    In the east, behind the zoo, and was voted best market in the Netherlands.

    Mon-Sat 09:00-17:00

  4. BuyJordaan

    Lapjesmarkt

    A specialist market concentrating on selling cloth and material for making clothes, curtains etc. Mondays only.

    Mon 09:00-13:00

  5. EatZuidoost

    Marmaris Grill & Pizza

    Relatively up-market Turkish/Mediterranean restaurant in the fancy new building opposite station Bijlmer-Arena. Great food, presentation and service - definitely worth the price. On cold days, avoid sitting anywhere near the door as it frequently fails to close properly.

    €14

  6. BuyJordaan

    Noordermarkt

    On Monday morning the Noordermarkt is a flea market selling fabrics, records, second-hand clothing etc., and forms part of the Lapjesmarkt mentioned above. On Saturday, the Noordermarkt is a biological food market, selling a wide range of ecological products like organic fruits and vegetables, herbs, cheese, mushrooms etc. There is also a small flea market.

    Mon 09:00-13:00, Sat 09:00-16:00

  7. DoZuid

    Rialto

    For all art-house cinema lovers. All films are shown in their original language with Dutch subtitles. They have late-night and classic showings too. Just a short walk from the Albert Cuyp Market/Heineken Brouwerij, in the nice non-touristy neighborhood De Pijp.

    M–Th EUR 9, F–Su EUR 10

  8. BuyBinnenstad

    Spui

    Every Friday and Sunday a market is held on the Spui. Friday has books on sale, while Sundays are all about art and antiques.

    Closed · opens 10 am Friday

  9. BuyBinnenstad

    Waterloopleinmarkt

    A well-known but fairly overrated market near the city hall. Partly flea market, partly alternative and second hand clothing and accessories. More oriented towards tourists than to locals.

    Mon-Sat until about 17:00

    King's Day

    Formerly Queen's Day, this national holiday, nominally in celebration of the King's birthday, is difficult to describe to anyone who's never been there. The city turns into one giant mass of orange-dressed people with flea markets, bands playing, and many on-street parties, ranging from small cafes placing a few kegs of beer outside to huge open-air stages hosting world-famous DJs. The Vondelpark is the place where children sell toys and perform. An experience you'll never forget. Normally held on April 27, but if that is a Sunday, it is celebrated one day earlier.
