Markets of Amsterdam

Albert Kuyp Market

This market has been operating since 1904 and since then is famous primarily for its excellent quality products and spices. There are about 300 stalls where you can find fresh vegetables and fruits, a wide variety of farm cheeses, exotic herbs (permitted for export from the country) and spices, fresh fish and much more. There are quite a few tourists here, but prices remain relatively low, so there are a lot of people here on Saturdays.

De Looier Antique Market

This is an indoor market selling antiques: furniture, jewelry, jewelry, toys and other antique gizmos. There is very little trash here, unlike other similar markets, most of the things either really have historical value, or are simply very beautiful, it is not accepted to deceive here. On Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, anyone can rent a counter and come to sell antiques from their collection, so these days the market is the most interesting.

Art Play Spui Art Market

A very interesting market and hangout place for the Amsterdam bohemia, located on the square of the same name, surrounded by bookstores. Every Sunday artists come here - 25 people, no more - and sell their works, and all this is accompanied by live music.

Book market

Another colorful market on Spøy Square, located next to the antique. Here you can find rare editions of books and comics, old photographs and retro posters, as well as prints and reproductions.

Flower market

The peculiarity of this market is that it is floating - the counters are literally located right on the water. Fresh flowers, seeds and bulbs are sold here all year round. Even if you have no plans to buy and you are a so-so nerd, it’s worth coming here at least to see all this beauty.

Farmers market on the Nordenmarkt

This market is quite young (opened in 1987), but a whole book has already been written and published about it. It has become so popular thanks to really high-quality environmentally friendly products that are not easy to find in metropolitan areas. Both local fans of healthy food and tourists come here in search of fresh cheeses and other national delicacies.

Flea Market Waterloplein

A flea market could not but arise in Amsterdam - a city where everything strange and vintage is so loved. It has existed since 1893 (originally it was a Jewish bazaar), and in the 60-70s. it was occupied by hippies, and this atmosphere is still partially preserved here. Today you can buy original and vintage clothing here - from trendy T-shirts with unusual prints to military uniforms, as well as various attributes of youth culture: posters, comics, backpacks, audio and DVDs, etc. On the shelves, as at any flea market, there is a lot of rubbish, but among it you can find really rare things for very little money.
