• Closed on Sundays, since the market runs Monday to Saturday year-round
• One long street from Mauritskade to Wijttenbachstraat, crossed by Eerste van Swindenstraat, so you can walk in from either end
• Oosterpark playground is under a 10-minute walk away for a break after the stalls

Dappermarkt fills Dapperstraat with stalls from Mauritskade to Wijttenbachstraat, and the street has been an official market street since 1910. Kids can wander past heaps of fruit and vegetables, fresh fish, flowers and bright fabric rolls.

Many stalls cater to the area's Surinamese, Antillean, Turkish and Moroccan residents, so the produce and food go well beyond Dutch staples. It suits a slow browse more than a quick errand.
