Locals love their flowers, and even if you miss tulip season (early April through mid May), you can enjoy the “floating” flower market along the canal. Vendors sell all sorts of fresh flowers and bulbs, many clearly marked for export to the U.S. and Canada. Girls will enjoy this more than boys, but it can be done quickly depending on your browsing time. The market is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. everyday except Sundays when it opens at 11 a.m.
