Market Delights

A Strolling along the many stalls of this colourful and culturally diverse street market,

I soon realised it would be impossible to leave this place empty-handed. Dozens ofbrightly-dressed

traders were selling a vast range of goods. There were exotic fruit and

vegetables, handmade clothes, beautifully crafted jewellery and much more. Behind the

stalls, cafés offered freshly ground coffee and were playing loud music which instantly

gave an upbeat feel to the place.

B After I finished my shopping for the day, I had to drag myself away carrying lots

of heavy bags but feeling quite pleased with myself. Should you ever find yourself in

Amsterdam, make sure you pay a visit to this fantastic market. The combination of a

lively atmosphere, delicious food and traditional goods makes this an experience not be

missed.

C When I arrived, the market had just opened, but the hustle and bustle of shoppers,

traders, tourists and even street musicians had already started. There was lots of noisy

chatter around and the place was jumping with life. The delicate fragrance of freshly

cut flowers was like perfume and they came in all possible colours, which made the

whole place look bright and festive. As I wandered along, looking at the freshly baked

cakes and smelling the mouthwatering aromas of the many sweet and savoury pies, I

suddenly realized how hungry I was. When I sampled some, they tasted delicious.

D I discovered an amazing, traditional street market while on holiday in Amsterdam

last year. With its huge variety of goods for sale and its lively atmosphere, the Albert

Cuyp street market stands out from all the others. It is situated in one of the oldest and

most characteristic parts of the city which adds to its charm and it never fails to attract

numerous local and international visitors.
