    This flower market is a must....especially in January when you are dreaming of Spring blossoms! You may not be able to take the flowers home with you, but you can buy Tulip bulbs!! This is a beautiful stroll along a canal by the Muntplein.

    The flowermarket, Bloemenmarkt in Dutch, was wonderful. We spent one morning wandering along this market where flowers of around the world meet people of all places around the world. We had been here before so we knew it was best to come in the morning when it is not as busy. Here you can see plants and flowers(bulbs) from all over the world.

    The Bloemenmarkt: this opens from 8.00 till 5.30 and is a series of permanently moored barges catering for all demands, bouquets, dried flowers, bonsai, bulbs, accessories and what we enjoyed most - fresh-cut flowers.

    Timing can be a little flexible depending on season!

    This is the only floating flower market in the world, and one of the most fragrant places of interest of Amsterdam - in all seasons. The flower stalls stand on the houseboats. You will find there all sorts of tulips, narcissus and other bulbs and flowers. The bulbs are ready for export, so you can enjoy them at home too

    A slow stroll through the colorful flower market is a lovely experience even if you don't want to buy anything. Of course there are all kinds of tulip bulbs for sale, and lots and lots of other plants, too. I would've bought a bunch of the flowering cactuses if I hadn't been getting on a plane the next day...

    The Bloemenmarkt (Flower Market) is located along the Singel Canal and is a famous floating flower market.

    There were many stalls with a huge selection of bulbs and cut flowers, along with plants and gardening equipment.

    One of the best experiences in life while touring at a place was at the Amsterdam flower market. i was fascinated simply. I'm not a person who often buys flowers for decorating home. But I was so impressed that I actually bought a bunch of colourful Hyacinths for my VT friend Chris.hh with whom I am staying in Hamburg these days. And I got five beautiful ones just for an euro. And there are not just flowers to buy but a wide variety of cactuses, tulip bulbs, gardening equipments, seeds of flowers, souvenirs and all kinds of decoratives for making your home more beautiful.

  • Directions: Just get down at Singel canal stop and walk.

    This place has the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen (exept for the Philadephia Flower Show). Hundreds of flower merchants line the Singel on floating shops. I was there in December, so many bulbs were for sale. Most of them were a quarter of the price you would pay in the US. They also will come with a certificate to get them back into the US. (I don't know if this is ligit, so I just stuck them in my luggage on the way back). I must have purchase 50 dutch tulip bulbs. Also, I hear that in the summer you can purchase any type of flower you can imagine. I think I'll have to go back in the summer then...
