Is there a more delightful place in Amsterdam than the Flower Market? It’s a kaleidoscope of colors and smells, perfect for families to explore. With tulips and other flowers being sold from houseboats along the Singel canal, you’ll be immersed in the natural beauty that Amsterdam is famous for.
For centuries, tulips and flower bulbs have been sold from houseboats on the Singel. This location was chosen for a reason – with Mint Tower and the headquarters of the Dutch Bank around the corner, this was the place where money was earned (and spent!). The modern flower market opened 150 years ago.
