Albert Cuyp is a sensory market before it is a collector’s market. Butter hits the hot pan, fruit piles up in bright crates and lunch decisions interrupt every few metres.

Between snacks, look for the stalls that slow the rhythm down: patterned ceramics, flowers and small things for the table. It is an excellent place to buy an everyday object with a travel story attached.

FIELD NOTE

Share your snacks so you can try more than one. Wrap ceramics carefully and keep them in your hand luggage.
