Pure Markt Amsterdam

Sunday Market

Dana from Amsterdam

I’m a writer and photographer, originally from Romania, but Amsterdam has been my home since 2011. Through my blog, Amsterdamian, and various international magazines, I share stories about Amsterdam and the Netherlands - its places, its people, and the quiet beauty of everyday moments. Over the years, my research has led me to uncover fascinating details about the city and hidden gems...
"Pure Markt in Amsterdam is a lively Sunday market with organic food, artisanal treats, crafts, music and a festival-like atmosphere waiting for you to explore."

Amsterdam is a city that knows how to celebrate markets, and one of the most special is the Pure Markt. This travelling Sunday market pops up in three green locations: Frankendael Park, Amstelpark and the Amsterdamse Bos, and it feels almost like a little festival.

Around 70% of the stalls are dedicated to food, though it’s less about fruit and vegetables and more about freshly prepared dishes, artisanal ingredients and treats that are hard to resist. The rest of the market is a mix of design, crafts, clothing, cosmetics and unique handmade products, so there’s always something new to discover.

The atmosphere is lively, with music, dancing, and activities for children. Families, neighbours and friends gather to eat (the oyster stall is always busy), drink (prosecco always goes with oysters), shop, and enjoy a relaxed afternoon outdoors. What makes the

Pure Markt stands out for its focus on organic, locally produced food. You can chat directly with the growers and makers, taste their creations, and even get advice or inspiration for your own cooking.

It’s not a weekly market, so you’ll need to check the schedule on their website, but whenever it takes place, it’s a joyful way to spend a Sunday in Amsterdam.

Through my blog, Amsterdamian, and various international magazines, I share stories about Amsterdam and the Netherlands - its places, its people, and the quiet beauty of everyday moments. Over the years, my research has led me to uncover fascinating details about the city and hidden gems, and I feel a growing urge to pass these stories on. I’m curious about people and the cities they call home, always drawn to a good conversation or a new corner waiting to be explored. A...

Bakkerij Ulmus

Sourdough bakery!

I know that sounds dramatic, but their pastries are irresistible! Everything is sourdough based, which means they make their own yeast for the bread.
