A visit to the beautiful Keukenhof gardens is on the travel agenda of many tourists coming to the Netherlands in the Spring. Once you walk in, you will understand why so many people flock to see the stunning array of flowers. It spans 79 acres of land, boasts approximately 800 tulip varieties, and more than 7 million flower bulbs with many of your favorites (and soon-to-be new favorites)!

While it can be rather busy with tourists from around the world, we offer to take you there if you wish. We usually aim to do so outside of the peak busy hours and combine this with a visit to nearby tulip farm fields, or to towns, such as Lisse, Leiden, Haarlem or elsewhere.

Good to keep in mind: the gardens are open from mid-March to mid-May.

Did you know? In the 1400s, the grounds of the Keukenhof were used for hunting. The Keukenhof Castle dates from 1641. And each year, there is a special theme for the world-famous and most photographed gardens. What will it be next year? Only one way to find out!
