According to the National Geographic, the Dappermarkt in Amsterdam East is not to be missed. Considered to be 'off the tourist track' and as a 'true people's market', the Dappermarkt is 'situated right in the middle of Amsterdam's multicultural area'. It's true that you can find cheap clothing, cheap vegetables and cheap meats, but coming in at number 8 on the list of top 10 world street markets is not as surprising as being mentioned ahead of the Albert Cuypstraat market, arguably the most famous market in the Netherlands. Top of the list is Hell's Kitchen Flea Market in New York City, followed by one in the Argentinian capital Buenos Aires.

Other cities mentioned include Bangkok, Istanbul, Hong Kong, Milan, Paris, London and Delhi. But if you're here in Amsterdam, just jump on trams 9 or 14 to reach the Dapper.
