As spring approaches, Bucharest’s Flower Market turns into one of the busiest seasonal commercial areas in the capital. Flower vendors, decorative arrangement sellers, and plant traders begin searching early for selling spaces, while demand for stalls increases significantly in February and March, especially ahead of March 1st and International Women’s Day.

For many local producers and independent traders, renting a stall in this area represents an important income opportunity due to the large customer flow and central positioning.

Where the Flower Market is located and why it is so popular

The best-known Flower Market in Bucharest is located in the George Coșbuc – Rahova area, administered through municipal and local market authorities. The area is traditionally associated with flower trading, operating year-round but reaching peak activity at the start of spring.

Its proximity to major traffic routes and easy access for customers make available spaces limited, with traders submitting applications well before the busy season.

Demand rises every year during celebrations dedicated to women, when flower sales increase considerably and temporary commercial spaces become extremely valuable.

How much it costs to rent a stall at the Flower Market

Prices vary depending on the type of space, rental period, and the administration managing the commercial area. In general, fees are set through local council decisions or market administration regulations.

For a standard stall, traders may pay:

• approximately 50–150 lei per day for temporary seasonal spaces;
• between 800 and 2,000 lei per month for permanent spaces or longer contracts;
• additional fees for electricity, sanitation, or temporary permits.

During peak periods, such as early March, some temporary spaces may have higher prices depending on location and demand.

Official tariffs are established by market administrators and may change annually according to local authority decisions.

Documents required to rent a stall

To legally sell flowers in a publicly administered market, traders usually need to submit a file containing:

• application for commercial space allocation;
• copy of identity document;
• business registration certificate (sole trader or company);
• fiscal certificate proving no local tax debts;
• operating authorization or temporary trading permit;
• proof of payment of local fees.

Documents are submitted either to the market administration or to the relevant district city hall, depending on how the commercial area is organized.

Why early spring brings the highest competition

March is considered the most profitable period for flower vendors in Bucharest. Events such as Martisor and International Women’s Day generate high customer demand, turning each stall into a strategic commercial spot.

During this period, authorities may also organize additional temporary selling areas, although the number of available spaces remains limited compared to demand.

Specialists recommend submitting applications early and checking updated local regulations beforehand.
