    If you're coming to Amsterdam, especially in the spring, you'll want to see some tulips. If they haven't necessarily bloomed yet, fear not. Bloemenmarkt has got your back. From the moment you step onto the street, you'll be bombarded with everything tulip-related - the bulbs, the actual flowers, souvenirs, clothing, etc. You'll also be able to get a million different kinds of souvenirs here, all of which are around the same price even at different vendors. The concept of a floating market is really cool, and it's even better in person. Totally a must-see if you're visiting. Thanks for the suggestion, Mel T!

    Bloemenmarkt (flower market) is a great spot to buy souvenirs! I suggest to browse around each stall first to scope out the prices and to see what you'll to buy. The vendors sells tulip bulbs, fresh flowers, wooden tulips, wooden clogs, magnets, Delftware type souvenirs, and etc. I was able to buy magnet souvenirs and mini kissing statue souvenirs here. Thankfully, the vendors also accept credit card payments here.

    This is an absolutely dream! You can get the most exotic flowers between about a dozen stalls. The specialty is tulips but they have an expanse. I would recommend doing your research first so that you are focused. Also if traveling with the bulbs (they have bloomed flowers too) make sure there is the health certificate so you can bring it back into your country.

    Bloemenmark is a touristy flower market, about 20-minute walk from the Amsterdam Centraal Station. Vendors mostly sell flower bulbs/seeds, cannabis starter kits, and souvenirs, and most stalls sell similar stuff. Good to stop by to browse around if you need last minute and quick souvenir, might be pricey, but still cheaper than the airport!

    After much hype on the floating flower market, I had high expectations to be blown away by the beauty of flowers, boats galore on a canal and such. Alas, the flower market is literally a strip of vendors all lined up against the canal side that sells pretty much the same things. Most of the items being sold are tulips + bulbs, some souvenirs, and other misc small items. Finding this market is super easy. As long as you see a whole bunch of stalls that sell similar/same things, you're at the flower market. Prices seem ok. It looks like you could haggle or simply wander from place to place and compare the different prices. If you're looking for quirky souvenirs, a few of the places do have odd items that makes a delightful gag gift. Overall, if you're pressed for time, I would say skip this market. However, if you're in the area, it doesn't hurt to check it out. Plus, there's a kickass herring place nearby that makes your lackluster market stroll worth it.

    De Bloemenmarkt is the flower market in Amsterdam and the only floating market in the world. It's near De Dam, so if you are in that area. It's worth a visit. I never would have found my tram stop if it weren't for De Bloemenmarkt. Every time I'd stop to ask for directions, they would say "Oh just go through the Flower Market and it's on the other side of the street!" The flower market not only sells fresh cut flowers but also pot plants, flower bulbs, rare flowers such as black tulips and all garden and florist requisites. Don't miss it if you are into gardening.

    Simply gorgeous. In flower heaven. A must do if you visit Amsterdam. Every color, size and shape of tulip. We were there off season but still there was a wonderful variety available. They don't just have tulips. Many different varieties of plant life. Purchased bulbs as gift for my family and my own garden

    Bloemenmarkt is the worlds only floating flower market. You'll find all types of flowers on sale, but of course, the most popular is the tulip. Tulip bunches, tulip bulbs, you name it. My plan was to buy some bulbs to bring back home to the U.S. So I did some research and got some conflicting answers on whether or not I could bring them back. In the end, I took a risk and bought some and it was perfectly fine. Although some of the bulbs started growing moldy. If you're not interested in flowers or bulbs, you'll also find all types of souvenirs here. Just make sure you make at least one lap around all the shops before you actually purchase anything to make sure you get the best price!

    I enjoy stopping here from time to time when I feel like strolling through the city. Bloemenmarkt (flowermarket) is one of the most popular markets in Amsterdam. It's located on the Singel Canal between Koningsplein and Muntplein, which is one of the busiest tourist districts in Amsterdam, so you won't miss it. You will find all sorts of tulips bulbs in this floating flowermarket. It's a great place to pick up all sorts of colorful flowers and plants. Plus you will find plenty of Dutch souvenirs in this neighborhood to take back home for friends and family. Keep in mind that seeds,flowers and plants must have a custom clear stamp certificate when traveling outside the country. If your wondering how and when to plant tulips? I would suggest the best time frame is in late fall.They grow the best in November, which is a good time to plant tulips, so that they can bloom in spring. Dig a hole about 6 inches deep, place the bulb in the hole with the bulb facing up,cover them with dirt and water, so by spring time you should see a beautiful bed of tulips displayed in your garden. Warning:Tulips won't grow well in areas with year round warm climates. For instance climates like California, so don't even bother bringing a bag of tulip bulbs back to sunshine state.

    Bet you didn't know this is the only floating market in the world, did you? It's a must-see while visiting Amsterdam, especially if your enhanced senses likes bright colors, and a ton of tulips. It's about 2 blocks long and they sell everything relating to growing flowers or other horticultural plants. Some might say this is a touristy spot, either way it's worth seeing.

    I'm assuming there are certain times of the year where the vendors here might actually be selling living, grown tulips and perhaps other flowers, but that was not the case when we came through. There were, however, lots of tulip bulbs and fake flowers being sold, as well as hundreds of people pressed together. I must have hyped myself out of this because I was expecting lots and lots of real flowers that people could buy. If you are interested in getting some bulbs or fake tulips then this would be the place for you! I will have to see if they actually line the shops with real flowers at some point of the year (I'm assuming in the Spring).

    De Bloemenmarkt, the famous and only floating flower market in the world. This place is amazing if you like plants and gardening. The ceiling was covered in dried flowers which caught our eyes and was a happy accidental stop. We couldn't carry any plants home so looking at all the beautiful flora was temptation at it's finest or else I'd have snagged a three pack of cacti or some of the lovely succulents. There are so many types of plants here though for the gardener in you. A lot of reviewers also mention the flower market is an annoying tourist trap. There was a lot of touristy things i.e. Amsterdam magnets, mugs, hats thrown into the mix, but I never considered tulips and bulbs to be a tourist thing even if the tulips here are famous. I imagine if you don't really care for plants then the crowd plus a place that mostly sells flower related items is not worth the time. There are things like novelty cannabis kits and cannabis lollipops for tourist which from my understanding are just joke pops. Highlights-- The succulents and cacti, of course, and the individual Venus Fly Traps. Also, the plethora of odd exotic plants that I don't typically see in shops.
