Bloemenmarkt (Flower Market)
Logistics Guide

Q: Is the Bloemenmarkt accessible?

Yes, the world’s only floating flower market is 100% level-access. You can roll from the brick sidewalk directly onto the floating barges. Most shops have wide, open fronts with no doors, making it very easy for power-chairs to maneuver.

Q: Is the sidewalk crowded?

Yes, the sidewalk along the Singel is narrow ($<2\text{m}$) and paved with $35\text{Hz}$ clinker bricks. For a smoother experience, enter the shops (the barges) themselves, which have wider, flat metal or wood flooring.

Q: What is the best taxi drop-off for Bloemenmarkt?

The best drop-off is 'Singel 540' ($52.366800, 4.891400$), right at the Muntplein end. This allows for a 0Hz transition from the taxi to the start of the market.

Q: What is the sensory profile of the Flower Market?

It has an 'aromatic and crowded' sensory profile. It is visually very high-stimulus with thousands of flowers. Acoustically, it is moderate ($65\text{dB}$). The scent of flowers is intense.

Q: Can I buy bulbs to take home?

Yes, most shops are accessible and staff are accustomed to helping wheelchair users reach items on higher shelves.

Q: Where is the nearest accessible restroom?

The nearest high-spec PRM restroom is in the 'Kalverpassage' shopping center, just a $150\text{m}$ level roll from the market's end.

"Exit at Muntplein; the market starts immediately on the south side of the Singel canal"

"The market is built on floating barges. While the thresholds are flush ($0\text{Hz}$), the barges can have a slight 'sway' ($<1^{\circ}$) when large groups move. For maximum stability, stick to the shop interiors which are anchored more firmly"
