Albert Cuypstraat, Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Mon-Sat: 9.00am - 5.00pm
Named after Aelbert Jacobsz Cuyp, a leading Dutch landscape painter of the 17th century, Albert Cuyp Market has been around since 1905. It used to be operating once a week, only on Saturday to be specific. It's the largest day market in not only the Netherlands, but also the entire Europe with more than 300 stalls.
I recall that the bustling market wasn't short of fresh produce in the afternoon.

Special mention goes to
Original Stroopwafels. I can never say no to those thin waffles filled with caramel syrup.

Besides food, there are all sorts of items being sold at the market, ranging from plants to accessories.

Besides the various stalls, there are bigger fashion and souvenir shops along the way, some of which offer immediate tax refund.
