When at the Noordermarkt, then just walk to the Lindenmarkt. You probably don't even notice it, because the two naturally merge, but the Lindenmarkt (on Saturday) is also a wonderful tour fresh air. At the very beginning you can score some tasty kibbeling or a tuna salad sandwich at the nearest fishmonger. Not a Saturday goes by without us cravings have the best pure peanut brittle from Nootzaak Gotjé, and if you are still looking (or just fancy green): for 'life' in your home, we bring in the most beautiful indoor (and outdoor plants, they have those too) Plant from Jantje. Oh and don't forget to get a Sabich sandwich after shopping Abu Sage. Then your Saturday will be complete. Last Lindengracht/Noordermarkt tip: alternate it with the hot sausage sandwich Flux. Also one to long for every Sunday because it's almost Saturday already...

Truth be told, it is the busiest, most touristy market in the city. Many stalls, for many people. That often means high prices. But nothing could be further from the truth. Between the admittedly high price tags, you can score some really nice stuff left and right. Like a huge, plus beautiful, bouquet of flowers for ten euros. You won't find one like that at your favorite flower shop.

And another one like that need-to-know'tje from the Albert Cuyp market: those so-called healing shots. With ginger in it. You know. At the Albert Cuyp, these mini bottles, filled with healthy resolutions, are at least somewhat affordable. Oh and something else, something much less healthy; you can't walk across the Albert Cuyp market without freshly scored (still warm!) stroopwafels. That's just how it works. The last plus point of this market, you can go there from Monday to Saturday. On Sundays it's a bit disappointing, then you might find a lost chip on the ground in the street, but that's not what we're here for.
