Keukenhof: the world's most famous flower garden

Seven million bulbs, one unforgettable spring visit

Keukenhof is where the Netherlands' tulip season comes to life. Open only from mid-March to mid-May each year, the gardens bring together millions of tulips, hyacinths and daffodils across winding paths, lakes and pavilions. It's one of the most photographed places in the country - and one of the easiest to reach from Amsterdam.
