Essentials about the Bloemenmarkt in brief

What would Amsterdam be without flowers! Not surprisingly, the Bloemenmarkt (Flower Market) is the most famous market in downtown Amsterdam and has a huge range of flowers and plants of all kinds. Due to its very central location, the Bloemenmarkt is one of Amsterdam’s main tourist attractions. Besides ornamental and cut flowers, many varieties of bulbs and more or less kitschy souvenirs are available at the market, which is open every day.

The history of the Bloemenmarkt

Since 1883, the Bloemenmarkt has been at home in its current city square on the Singel, between the Koningsplein and the Muntplein. At that time, it was still called the Trees and Plants Market, because in the 19th century, flower sellers still sailed boats on the Amstel River and sold their wares directly from the boat. Today, however, the market stalls are housed on fixed boats.
