The Tulips of Keukenhof

by coach & on foot

This is the chance for you to visit the world’s most beautiful spring garden, home to over 7 million tulips, daffodils and hyacinths. Keukenhof is only open during spring when the tulips are flowering.

Keukenhof, or ‘kitchen garden’ was originally an herb garden, providing herbs for Jacqueline, Countess of Hainaut’s castle. Today, the garden has bloomed to include 80 acres of paved footpaths that cross lawns, streams, lakes and pavilions featuring various exhibitions. The powerful display of colour from the tulips, hyacinths and narcissi forms a striking contrast with the greens of the grass and the trees.

Your experience begins as you board your coach for an approximately one-hour drive to Keukenhof in the town of Lisse. En route, you'll travel through lowland countryside dotted with farms and canals.

Upon arrival to Keukenhof, you will have free time to independently explore the beautiful spring garden. Boasting over 32 hectares of flowers, you’ll encounter spring in all its glory. Experience the overwhelming explosion of colour from more than 7 million spring-flowering bulbs as you walk through the themed gardens complete with fountains and water features that add to the splendour of the park.

Before departing this beautiful park, you’ll have the opportunity to maybe purchase some bulbs or seeds to grow at home for springtime next year.
