Flower market
The flower market is a small road along the canal and relative small (300 metres long). The market is open Mondays – Fridays from 9.00 – 18.00 and Saturdays from 9.00 – 17.00. Unique of this place is that it is a floating market: the stalls are on the canal. The stalls sell fresh flowers and bulbs. Opposite the flower shops are monumental houses with little shops selling tourist souvenirs.
