Aalsmeer is world famous because of the Flower auction Royal FloraHolland. This is the largest flower auction and the largest indoor trading building in the world. On weekdays, the flower auction is open to the public. Visitors can see flowers as far as the eye can see from the balcony. There is a continuous stream of carts filled with fresh products passing through the auction room, so you can immediately follow the buying process. It is best to arrive early in the morning, as there is more to see the earlier you arrive.
