The name ‘Aalsmeer’ is a worldwide concept. Aalsmeer brings the whole floricultural world under one roof.
From Bloemenveiling Aalsmeer, plants and flowers are sent to all four corners of the globe. Buyers converge on Aalsmeer for the simple fact that it boasts the biggest supply and the best assortment.
The auction welcomes early birds, and a visit is more than worthwhile. Witnessing a flower and plant auction at close range is a fascinating experience. From the Visitor centre visitors go along a walkway through the auction complex. Take a peek in the auction rooms, and watch flowers being auctioned in front of the clock, arrangers displaying the products, and buyers working from the auction rooms.
Marvel at the hundreds of carts of flowers below on the auction floor, ready to be auctioned or sent to the customer.

You will see the many canals, church spires, narrow alleys, monumental buildings and private almshouses that define Leiden. Visit Leiden and walk on the cobblestones of narrow streets, take a tour along the canals and enjoy the historical facades, monuments and museums.
