This city, full of colorful homes, canals and bridges, is one of Europe's most picturesque capitals. Must-sees on any visitor's itinerary include the Anne Frank House, the Van Gogh Museum and the world's only floating flower market. Rent a bike and join thousands of locals navigating Amsterdam's labyrinthine streets, or just take in the sights on foot.

The city's largest street market is just south of the city center.

This is a hidden gem and a must visit place. One of the longest markets in Europe, it offers a fascinating array of food and produce, all at some amazing prices. Be it the fresh Stroop waffles, the grill cheese sandwiches, fresh fruit juices, strawberries with the most delicious whipped cream ever... this place has something for everyone! Oh... did I not mention the cheese?! Some of the most amazing cheese that we've ever tasted! We also got some great souvenirs and found them to be relatively cheaper. The stall owners are friendly and helpful and very welcoming. The market itself is easily accessible from the metro station and is marked easily. Just google the directions and you'll be there in no time at all. This is a must visit place and cannot be missed at all. Just remember its closed on Sunday!

Reviewed By 58Glenn - Cypress, United States

What a nice find for a great Dutch experience, an open air market full of vendors hustling away. Part farmers market and part flea market, this slice of culture has quite a selection from fruits, veggies and meats and flowers to fabrics, trinkets and jewelry. Bustling with locals and tourists alike, don’t miss 30 minutes we’ll spent on this corner.

Reviewed By muturou - Shinjuku, Japan

Just looking at it will pass in no time. But sometimes I discover bargains. The location can be reached by a free ferry from Amsterdam Central Station. Please search on IJ-Hallen and check the date. 眺めているだけでも時間があっという間に過ぎてしまいます。しかし時々掘り出し物を発見します。場所はアムステルダム中央駅から無料のフェリーで行けます。IJ-Hallenで検索して開催日にちを確認してください。

One of the best open markets I have seen for a long time: active 6 days a week, a great variety of goods on offer and most importantly mainly visited by locals, not tourists.
