Floating flower market in Amsterdam




This unique floating flower market, founded in 1862 is a series of permanently moored barges that contain the most exotic and unique flowers from around the world, as well as the beautiful blossoms that you may be familiar with. If you are a flower or gardening enthusiast this is definitely a site that you will not want to miss a trip to the Bloemenmarkt. Located near Muntplein the Bloemenmarkt is found in Singel between Vijzelstraat and Koningsplein. There are several trams that will take you to the Market, and the tram schedule allows for frequent arrivals and departures. Most people advise that a trip later in the afternoon is best if you wish to take your time to look through the displays of flowers, plants, herbs and bulbs that are available.
