Bloemenmarkt Flower Market

The world’s only floating flower market, the Bloemenmarkt is on a row of barges situated on Singel between Muntplein and Koningsplein. One of the main flower suppliers to the city, the Bloemenmarkt is not only a great place for sightseeing, it’s a great place to pick up some of the Netherlands’ famous tulip bulbs to take home, as well as offering a selection of the city’s ever-present souvenir shops. An important thing to bear in mind is that there are strict restrictions on bringing live plants to other countries. The vendors in the market know this, however, and can set you up with packages of bulbs that have the necessary paperwork for transporting them back to your home country.
