The Bloemenmarkt is one of Amsterdam's most photographed spots, but it's short on places to actually sit down and slow down. A 5-minute walk west brings you to Leidsestraat 87 — handmade truffles, single-origin bars, low light, no rush.
Walking directions: From the Bloemenmarkt on Singel, walk west along Koningsplein and turn onto Leidsestraat. We're at number 87.
A classic Amsterdam combination: a bag of bulbs from the Bloemenmarkt and a small box of bonbons from our shop. Both travel home in carry-on; both keep until you arrive.
About 5 minutes on foot — a 400-metre walk west along Koningsplein to Leidsestraat 87.
