Amsterdam is a river port. Drawing a circle from the city center, the innermost urban area is surrounded by four canals: from inside out, they are the Singel Canal, Herengracht, Keizersgracht, and Prinsengracht. The Singel Flower Market is situated on the Singel Canal.

The Singel Flower Market is made up of 20 houseboats linked together and floating on the canal. It was established around 1862 and is the oldest market in Amsterdam.

In addition to fresh flowers, seeds, and tulip bulbs, the Singel Flower Market also offers a variety of souvenirs and a large selection of dried flowers. Locals often come here to buy dried flowers to decorate their homes.

The seed packaging in the flower market is uniquely creative and quite exquisite. There are grand bouquets of assorted flower seeds, easy-open canned seed tins, and the miniature wooden clogs filled with seeds that tourists love the most—but remember, seeds cannot be taken on airplanes.
