Bloemenmarkt

Flower Market

Large Floating Flowermarket

Description

Flowers were once brought to this colorful flower market by boats along the canals, which is the reason that the Bloemenmarkt is situated on barges. Although the dazzling collections of flowers and bulbs for sale are now brought by road, the market, which stretches along the Singel between Koningsplein and Muntplein, retains the unique status of being the world's only floating flower market. Holland's famously beautiful flowers make the air fragrant, and their bright colors light up even the most overcast Amsterdam day.
