Opening times of flower markets & weather

Hi

We will be in Amsterdm for 3 days from 26 April (en route from Australia to Edinburgh) and as well as seeing the flowers at Keukenoff (spelling!) I would like to go to the flower markets but I do not know if they are open on weekends. Also ideas of what weather conditions to expect would be useful to know.

Thanks

keukenhof will be open from march 21st. the flower market on singel in amsterdam is open on sundays from 11 to 17.30.

if you're interested in flowers, another possibility is to visit the flower auction in aalsmeer:

weather wise, it can go in all kinds of directions around that time, hard to predict. bring an umbrella...

What mokummer said - bring an umbrella. And dress in layers; even if the weather forecast shows maximum temperatures of around 20-23°C (which would be nice for late April), it can still be surprisingly chilly in the mornings and evenings.
