What's open on Sundays in Amsterdam?

Almost everything in central Amsterdam operates normally on Sunday — the city treats it as a full commercial day. The Nine Streets (De Negen Straatjes) boutiques, the Albert Cuyp Market in De Pijp (open until around 17:00), the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, and the Anne Frank House all run standard hours. Supermarkets including Albert Heijn open around 10:00 or 11:00 rather than the usual 08:00. Most restaurants and cafes keep full service. What does close, or runs reduced, is government offices, some specialty trades, and a handful of smaller independent shops that take Sunday off entirely. The Waterlooplein flea market operates Sundays year-round. If you're planning something specific, the rule of thumb is that tourist-facing businesses are reliably open, while anything bureaucratic or service-oriented (banks, post offices, certain pharmacies) warrants a quick check before you make the trip.
