Open air markets in Amsterdam are common. One street over from our apartment is the Saturday market, which has everything- complete meat departments on wheels; nuts, a lot of nuts; fabrics; all kinds of clothing; shoes (a lot more than nuts); computer and smart phone accessories; miniature Walgreen's; fruits and vegetables (huge selection); herbs, of course; pet food and supplies. Don't need no grocery stores, go to the Saturday market.
Cuyp Market is sort of like that except it has become more or less permanent in that it is open 6 days a week (no Sunday!). We zip thru there, no time for souvenirs. We need details! We need architectural space! We need urban environment! We need FRIES!
Later a nearby park is discovered just 2 blocks from the market....and we haven't even made it to Vondelpark yet.
Next up is indeed Vondelpark, a medium sort of park, only 1 mile in length! Lots of interesting spaces here plus some sort of art
Amsterdam has such a variety of great parks.......perhaps another blog
