Why Bloemenmarkt matters
The Bloemenmarkt is a row of stalls on the Singel canal, selling cut flowers, plants, seeds and tulip bulbs. It is a colourful stop and a good place to pick up bulbs, though check import rules for your destination. Many stalls also sell souvenirs and cheese, so it is fun even if you are not a gardener.
Talking points
- Stalls sit on the water along the Singel canal.
- It is a good place to buy tulip bulbs.
- Check customs rules before taking bulbs abroad.
