Market in Amsterdam
Bloemenmarkt
The Bloemenmarkt is the world’s only floating flower market, a row of greenhouse barges on the Singel canal selling tulips, bulbs, seeds, and souvenirs. Free to browse. The market has been operating since 1862. Budget travelers walk through for the spectacle of color and the Dutch flower obsession on display, and resist buying bulbs unless they know the customs rules for bringing them home.
