Om

Raske fakta: Floating stalls brimming with vibrant tulips and other flowers create a sea of color that captivates all who wander through. Fragrant blooms mingle with the sound of bustling shoppers, making it a sensory delight that captures the essence of Dutch horticulture.

Høydepunkter: Floating on wooden barges along a canal, over 15 flower stalls in this market create a vibrant tapestry of colors and scents for visitors to explore. Legend says that during the tulip mania of the 1600s, this spot was crucial for trading bulbs, and the tradition of selling bulbs here continues with varieties you can't find anywhere else, like the striking black tulip named 'Queen of Night.'

Insidertips

• Arrive before 10am on weekdays to avoid cruise-ship crowds and get the freshest bulbs.
• Bring a small tote or sturdy bag for plant purchases, stalls are close to the canal and space is tight.
• Stand on the canal-side to photograph the colorful stalls with water reflections, especially after rain.
• Ask vendors for the bulb harvest year and export certificate when buying large quantities.
