Drift into the peaceful magic of Broek op Langedijk, the enchanting Dutch village famous as the world’s first “floating flower auction” location, where over 700 tiny islands—once used for growing flowers and vegetables—are now connected by a beautiful network of canals and small wooden bridges, creating a serene, almost storybook landscape perfect for quiet boat tours, canoeing, or leisurely cycling along the flower-lined waterways. The historic village center features charming whitewashed houses, the iconic white wooden Reformed Church (Broekerkerk), and the charming BroekerVeiling museum—the world’s oldest preserved floating vegetable and flower auction hall—where visitors can experience the unique history of this “Venice of the North” and even participate in a nostalgic auction reenactment.
Relax in the tranquil countryside atmosphere, enjoy fresh local asparagus in spring or traditional Dutch pancakes at waterside cafés, or simply soak up the calm beauty of a place that feels like stepping back into a slower, greener era of the Netherlands—all just 30 minutes from Alkmaar and 45 minutes from Amsterdam.
Broek op Langedijk isn’t just a village—it’s a floating flower paradise of canals, heritage, and pure Dutch serenity—plan your Broek op Langedijk escape today!
