Barging in on the Flower Market

The Singel is a canal in Amsterdam most famous for its flower market. Officially it's called Bloemenmarkt in Dutch. Fifteen small flower shops are located atop floating barges. In old timey days (starting in 1862) the flowers arrived via the waterways but today they simply appear by van. 

Tulips are the flower of choice in Holland but you can find varietals of many different flowers here from bouquets to bulbs. The market also sells seeds, which span from vegetables to cannabis starter kits. Dealers choice. But when traveling outside the country make sure to have a customs cleared stamp for border patrol for the specific country your entering. Or bad things happen (no tulips for you!).

If flowers aren't your thing, there's also a handful of souvenir shops. Stop in and get some clogs or an arrangement of Amsterdam housing magnets. Less aromatic but increased lifeline expectancy. You Dig?
