Not a ton of flowers to see. Mostly just bulbs which have to be certified to bring home, endless tourists, restaurants serving American-style food, and junky souvenirs. Okay if there's nothing better to do, but you're in Amsterdam - there will ALWAYS be something better to do! More

We visited Flower market, it's very nice to walk and look at all the flowers and colours. We bought "the bulb" for a flower that we admired a lot in Keukenhof called: Gloriosa Rotschildiana for 4€. It was packed in a black plastic bag (so you can not see) and when we opened at home, big surprise: we found sand... More

For the Dutch it is a nice view with a smile, for foreigners it is a good place for a walk and for souvenirs. I tyhink the prices are better here then in most of the tourist places. So after visiting Keukekhof, you can buy here (as you will go to Amsterdam for sure too). Bulbs and flower related stuff.... More

Imagine every flower you can think of.. and then some more. I bought a lot of tulips to come home with. They have tulips approved for export back to Canada which means no hassle at Customs in Canada. It can be a bit claustrophobic as space is tight because every nook and cranny is packed with seeds, bulbs, flowers and... More

Surprisingly, this was my favorite of all the outside markets by its uniqueness. It's easy to find and attracts numerous people. The flowers are beautiful, but unfortunately if you are traveling back to the U.S. you cannot take any bulbs home through customs. It is also very expensive to ship home. More

The flower market is indeed a very beautiful place to walk and admire all those different kinds of flowers in these flower shops. But it's a great trap to buy tulip bulbs. Those bulbs are sold in paper bags of about 50 bulbs. I bought 2 bags of 50, to plant them in my garden and get them bloom next... More
