Flower market in Amsterdam

Bloemenmarkt, Blumanmarkt
Netherlands, Amsterdam
The Amsterdam Flower Market is the world's only floating flower market and one of Amsterdam's top attractions.

Flowers have been sold at this site since the 17th century, when merchants on boats sold flowers along the city streets. Until 1862, the market was located on the Sint-Lucienval canal, which was part of the city moat. After plans were made to eliminate the moat (it was filled in in 1889), the market moved and since 1862 it has been located on the Amsterdam Singel Canal, not far from Dam Square.

Shops are located on barges along the waterfront. Currently, the market functions mainly as a tourist attraction. There you can see local and exotic flowers and plants or buy a souvenir.

Don't take the edge
To visit Amsterdam and not bring a couple of kilograms of tulip bulbs to your mother is unacceptable! We were carrying about 12 kg. If you walk through the market from edge to edge, then at first the bulbs will be 7 euros, then 5, in the very middle 3 euros, and then again 5 and 7 on the other side. As experienced tourists, we did not buy the edge, and bought a little further at 5. When we reached the middle and found 3 each, we had to buy more. To reduce the average cost and drown out the feeling of annoyance.→
