De Pijp at its finest
The Albert Cuyp
The largest daily market in Europe sits right in the middle of the neighbourhood. Fresh flowers, cheese, stroopwafels and everything in between, six days a week.
A world of cuisine around the corner
From Surinamese to Italian, from natural wine to specialty coffee. In De Pijp you can eat somewhere different every evening.
From working-class district to lively heart
De Pijp was built at speed from the 1870s onward as a working-class district, with long, straight, narrow streets. Several stories surround the origin of its name (Dutch for 'the pipe'): from the long, narrow drawer-like homes to the dead-straight streets that recall the stem of a pipe.
The neighbourhood always drew students, artists and, later, newcomers from around the world. The painter Piet Mondriaan lived and worked here. The Albert Cuypmarkt, Europe's largest daily market since 1905, and Sarphatipark, named after the city reformer Samuel Sarphati, make De Pijp one of the most colourful neighbourhoods in the city.
