Tulip Market in Amsterdam

Amsterdam is a fascinating city filled with wonder and amazement at every turn. One thing Amsterdam is known for is its tulips.

In fact, the Keukenhof Tulip Gardens are the largest in the planet. It makes sense that people go to Amsterdam to look at and bring back tulips.

Well, that's where Americans run into some problems.

The best place to buy tulip bulbs is in the Tulip Market in the heart of Amsterdam. Here, you can find more tulips than you ever thought existed.

There are so many shops lining this area of the canals. Prices are roughly the same in every location.

In addition to fully grown flowers, you can find bulbs and seeds you can buy and plant in your own garden.

Here's where it gets a little bit tricky for Americans. The United States of America only allows certain imports in terms of tulip bulbs and seeds.

So, it's extremely vital that you select bulbs that are specifically market for export. Otherwise, you can and will be fined a large sum of money if you're caught trying to sneak these blacklisted plants.

If you're visiting Amsterdam, I would of course recommend a stop to the Tulip Market. Even if you don't end up buying anything, you will certainly enjoy the experience.
