Our first stop in Amsterdam was Bloemenmarkt, the colorful floating flower market along Singel Canal, right in the heart of the city’s UNESCO-listed Canal Ring. Shops in the market are located inside a row of floating barges, a holdover from days when flowers arrived in the city from the countryside by boat. Mom had a field day browsing for some stuff to take back home.

Things to do in Amsterdam | North Holland | Netherlands
Dating back to 1862, Bloemenmarkt is Amsterdam’s famous long-running floating Flower Market. Rain or shine, this stretch of the Singel canal in the city centre is filled with the vibrant colours and fragrances of fresh flowers every Monday to Saturday – serving tourists and locals alike. Head home with tulip bulbs for your garden or plants for your home, as well as a fun selection of typically Dutch souvenirs, ranging from local cheese to Christmas baubles.
