Every year from March to May, the Keukenhof opens to its gates to the public and celebrates spring in all its magnificence. After the relatively colourless months of winter, these multi-coloured gardens are a feast for the senses. The Keukenhof is the largest bulb park in the world and covers over 30 hectares and 15 kilometres of footpaths with 7 million flower bulbs planted by hand every year. The result is simply breathtaking – even photos cannot quite do justice to the splendour of acres of blooming tulips during the tulip season. A visit to the Keukenhof, is a Must if you are visiting the Netherlands during the tulip season.
The Keukenhof is situated in the heart of tulip growing territory between Amsterdam and the Hague. It is not far from Leiden (an old university town where the tulip was first introduced to the Netherlands) and the nearest village is Lisse.
