Floating flower market in Amsterdam
Flowers galore at the Singel in Amsterdam! Along this canal you will find boats full of flowers and bulbs, in just about every colour. It is also the place to be if you are looking for novelty souvenirs, such as clogs and windmills in all shapes and sizes. Christmas trees and decorations are on offer here during wintertime.
Boats used to transport the flowers to this market. Although the flowers arrive by car now, the old tradition was kept alive. It is what makes this market unique and very popular. Take a nice stroll along this market. If you want to get to the Leidseplein from Muntplein, this is the nicest route to take.
You can enter this market for free, but it might be difficult to leave this market empty handed. The market is open everyday, until about 17:30.
