Personal tips
Great place for seeing lots of flowers and bulbs. You can see tulips during spring season. Don’t buy any bulbs between December and August. These bulbs are from last season and won’t blossom when you are at home (they will be to old, moldy etc). Make sure when you buy your bulbs that they will grow in your garden. Tulip bulbs need a cold period of at least 6 weeks around freezing temperatures. Please be aware of pickpockets on this very busy market.
