This point of interest is available as audio on the tour: Visit Amsterdam, Along the canals
You are now in Singel Square, and no, you’re not dreaming— there really is a massive flower market in front of you! But this isn’t just any market—it’s a floating one! Not to worry though, you probably didn’t even notice it as it is securely anchored in place. For over 140 years, this vibrant market has been a paradise for nature lovers, offering a dazzling variety of flowers, seeds, and gardening essentials. But the real stars here are evidently tulips! These iconic flowers are a symbol of the Netherlands, and no wonder—did you know that 80% of the world’s tulip bulbs are exported from the Netherlands? Forget traditional souvenir shops—flowers here are the perfect gift to bring home to your loved ones!
