| Amsterdam is rich in cheap markets, ideal for locals and tourists
with lower budgets. 21 such bargain markets can be found in
Amsterdam, and Albert Cuyp market is, undoubtedly the most famous
of them. Open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays
from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., houses an incredibly 300 stalls with
just as many offers from fresh fruit and vegetables to clothing
and electronics.
The market sells from oddities to traditional ailments, like
the famous Dutch cheese sorts or haring and various other
fish sorts specific to this area. Once here, you might as
well take a look to clothing and you'll definitely find something
to suit you and a good price to it, too. Make-up and cosmetics
are also sold with attractive discounts compared to specialized
shops downtown.
Electronics are being sold in small shops near Albert Cuyp
market at very low prices. That is one of the best places
to purchase some pretty cheap good quality pieces of furniture
for your home and, why not, even a pet to remind you of Amsterdam.
Those of you looking for a change and afraid of sometimes
high costs at the beauty parlors can choose to get their hair
cut or done at one of the salons around Albert Cuyp market.
Shoes, clothes, fish, cheese, flowers, computers, cosmetics,
bedding, furnishing, pets and hair style are most, but not
all of the range of goods and services offered by the Albert
Cuyp market, acting somehow just like a mall. When you come
here, you can be sure you'll take much less out of your pocket
than you would in any other side of Amsterdam.
