The Best Shopping in The Netherlands

Flower Bulbs: It's difficult to choose from the incredible variety of bulb shapes and colors offered in Holland. Some bulbs flower early in January; others wait until the warmer months of May or June. Knowing this, choose bulbs with different flowering times, so you'll enjoy their blooming over a long period in spring. Check before buying, however, as not all bulbs are certified for entry into the United States. Packages must have a numbered phytosanitary certificate attached to the label, allowing you to import the bulbs. In Amsterdam, buy them from the Floating Flower market on the Singel canal.
