Floating Flower Market

  (Nederlands: Bloemenmarkt)  





General Info

Amsterdam's Bloemenmarkt (Floating Flower Market) is considered in many travel guides as a tourist attraction; actually is more than that! It is a beautiful place to take a walk among stalls full of flowers, bulbs and seeds of every kind. Colorful as a painting by Van Gogh, the Floating Flower Market rises along the Singel west of Muntplein, in the circle of Amsterdam's eastern canals. Today you will find permanent floating stalls but, in ancient times, the florists used to reach Amsterdam on their boats along the river in order to sell their plants and flowers. If this place might be considered as a Paradise on earth for the "gardening addicted", with a collection of flowers and plants from all over the world, also the simple tourist will be fascinated by the colors and perfumes that will guide them throughout their visit. The market is open all the days of the week from 9.0 am to 5.00 pm.
