Auction hall at flower auction Royal Flora Holland in Aalsmeer

World’s largest flower auction

Our private, guided tour will start early in the morning at your hotel in Amsterdam. We will then drive 25 km. south of Amsterdam to the world’s largest flower auction ‘Royal Flora Holland’, in Aalsmeer.

Early in the morning, the auctioning of flowers and plants starts at 6.00 or 6.30 a.m. We will explain all about ‘Dutch auction’ and the distribution of flowers and plants. 17 auctioneers are active 5 days per week to sell millions of flowers and plants. Every auctioneer facilitates 1100 - 1400 transactions. The volume that will pass by at the auction halls is unbelievable! Nowadays, all the sales take place via the internet, this means that buyers/wholesalers don't need to be at the auction hall anymore, but they can buy remotely from an office at the auction or even from their computer in Berlin, Paris, New York, Moskou, etc.
