Bloemenmarkt, Floating flower market along Singel canal, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Located on Amsterdam's Singel canal, the Bloemenmarkt extends across multiple houseboats permanently moored to the waterside, displaying flowers and plants for sale.
Founded in 1862, the Bloemenmarkt emerged as a central distribution point where growers from the countryside delivered fresh flowers by boat to Amsterdam merchants.
The market represents the Netherlands' strong connection to floriculture, offering tulip bulbs, narcissus, and other flowers that define Dutch botanical traditions.
The market welcomes visitors Monday through Saturday from 9:00 to 17:30 and Sundays from 11:30 to 17:30, with direct access from tram lines 2 and 12.
Each of the fifteen floating platforms contains specialized flower shops, creating the only flower market in the world that operates entirely on water.
