I have to write an article for tourists.

I must include a great place for shopping in my area and explain why a tourist might want to visit it.
No trip to Amsterdam would be complete without a visit to Holland’s largest and most popular street market, the Albert Cuyp Market. Since 1905 the market has grown and now has around 300 stalls lining both sides of Albert Cuyp street.
At the market, you can find almost anything from fresh fruit and vegetables to fish and meat or flowers and plants to clothing and jewellery. The prices are some of the cheapest that you will find in the city and the atmosphere is laid-back and friendly. The market is open from 9 in the morning to 5 in the afternoon, Monday to Saturday.
Tourists can enjoy themselves in a number of ways at the market. They can take a leisurely stroll along the street, stop for a coffee in a traditional Amsterdam cafe or visit some of the other shops in the area along neighbouring streets.
All in all, Albert Cuyp is a place where you can find everything you need and a shopping trip there is an unmissable experience.
