Stins Flowermarket — Local services in Amsterdam

I enjoyed this place very much. It’s very touristy, but has a lot of things you can buy as gifts and you can spend quite a bit of time going over everything that’s available. They also have a great variety of flowers that you can buy and take with you (of course many tulips!). Be sure to check whether you can bring the bulbs into your country!

There are also stores across the street from the market, including several cheese stores. Make sure you check here too whether you can import them to your country!

Even though it’s very touristy, I believe it’s still a must visit if you come...

Scam, I bought two bags of tulips, 25 in each bag. One was a colour mix of regular tulips, and the other was parrot tulips (again, mix of colours). I've planted them at the end of September, fast forward to April... all of them are the same. The same colour, no difference between the parrot ones or the regular... I'm very disappointed. I planted them in my mum's garden as a souvenir from my trip. We were both waiting, filled with excitement to see the variety that was advertised on the bags. I wouldn't recommend shopping there. Just reach out to a certified seller, avoid this...

We bough here two bags of tulips bulbs, claimed to be the "highest" quality and from the Netherlands. (Also the most expensive of all the market, just to say). Once I opened the bags (one day after the purchase), all bulbs were completely covered of mould and I had the unpleasant and unhealthy pleasure of inhalating all the spores (almost had to call an ambulance as I was struggling to breathe). Tried to put them in the pot anyway and all of them just died, covered by mould and decomposing. In one day.

WASTE OF MONEY!!! This is just...
