The Bloemenmarkt’s stock changes depending on what’s in season or available. Different tulip varieties are the eye-catchers for visitors, while locals pick up geraniums, narcissus, daffodils, and flowers by the bunch or bouquet. Remember to double-check your country’s import laws if you are considering bringing bulbs or seeds home.

After stopping to smell the roses, tulips, and geraniums, visit nearby attractions, such as the cat-themed KattenKabinet art museum, the Torture Museum, the Willet-Holthuysen Museum, and Reguliersdwarsstraat, a street known for its LGBTQ+ nightlife. The Rembrandt House Museum, Allard Pierson Museum of Antiquities, and the Begijnhof community are also nearby.

The Bloemenmarkt is located on the Singel Canal at Singel 630. This popular flower market is opposite the Mint Tower (Munttoren) on Muntplein. Muntplein is the closest tram and bus stop, though the Koningsplein stop is nearby. Nearby metro stations are Rokin to the north and Vijzelgracht to the south.

The Bloemenmarkt is the world’s only floating flower market. This blooming business is booming: Locals have frequented the fragrant stalls for fresh flowers, plants, seeds, and bulbs since the 1860s. It’s a treat for tourists, too, especially those hoping to bring Holland’s prized tulip bulbs home as a souvenir.
