You can book tickets on this website at reduced tour operator rates. Enter the size and composition of the group along with the time and date. You will subsequently receive an e-mail confirmation containing the group ticket, QR code to be scanned, the price and VAT for your records. We will scan the QR code on location to allow you and your group to enter. You should therefore bring the confirmation with you. Would you like to cancel tickets you have already purchased? You can do so up to seven days prior to your visit. Cancellation costs € 2.00 per ticket. In case of cancellation, the entire group will be cancelled and you will need to submit a new application.

If you do not know the exact size of the group in advance, but would like to be sure of its availability, please send an email to infoaalsmeer@royalfloraholland.com, stating the intended date and time of the visit, the expected size and composition of the group and the country of origin/language. You will receive a confirmation of your request. This is of course free of charge. You can then purchase tickets on our website as described above as soon as you know the size of the group. It is of course also possible to buy tickets at standard group rates on the spot.

In conclusion: We are open daily on weekdays from 7:00 am. For exact opening hours, please check our website. We recommend arriving as early as possible given the exciting hustle and bustle in distribution.

Frequently asked questions

  • How long does a visit take?

    Most visitors spend about an hour to an hour and a half with us. But you can look around for as long as you want. Some visitors stay for three hours.

  • What are the opening hours?

    The Royal FloraHolland visitor centre is opened from 7 am to 11 am on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. On Thursdays from 7 am to 9 am.

    We recommend that you arrive between 7 am and 8 pm and at 7 am on Thursdays in order to see as many flowers and as much action as possible!

  • Why do you open so early, and why not the entire day? And why are you closed on weekends?

    The auction is a market: when everything is sold, the auction is over. The clocks start auctioning early and the flowers still have to be packaged and transported.

    The end time depends on the volumes of flowers brought to auction by growers the night before. This is different every day. But by 11:30 am or midday, the building is empty and there are no flowers left to see.

    During the weekends, the buyers do not work; which means no auction and no flowers!

    Almost 2 kilometres, one kilometre to and one kilometre from.
