• Metro 52 to De Pijp drops you right at the market: take the Albert Cuypstraat exit, about 10 minutes from Centraal Station
• Closed on Sundays and most public holidays, and in extreme weather the market posts updates on its socials
• Sarphatipark playgrounds sit just behind the market, a good break once kids have had enough of the crowds

Albert Cuyp Market runs the length of Albert Cuypstraat in De Pijp, with about 260 stalls trading on this street since 1905. Kids can buy a bag of fresh stroopwafels, try a herring from the fish cart, and point out flowers, plants and fruit along the way.

Past the food there are fabrics, clothes, leather goods and jewelry, plus old-style coffee houses and modern cafés along the street.
