If you are planning a trip to the Netherlands, you should include the beautiful Keukenhof Garden.
If you are planning a trip to the Considered one of the largest in the world, with its 32 hectares, 800 varieties of tulips and approximately more than 7 million bulbs, the park delights everyone.
The park is well known mainly for the beautiful species of tulips, but apart from them, there are several other flower species such as orchids, hyacinths, roses, daffodils, irises, lilies, etc.
Each year the design of the park has a theme and so it is always different and beautiful!
The park is well known mainly for the beautiful species of tulips, but apart from them, there are several other flower species such as orchids, hyacinths, roses, daffodils, irises, lilies, etc.When we went there, it was the last opening day of the year and the tulips fields were empty and inside the park, quite a lot of the flowers had already been removed or were dying. Even so, the amount of bloomed flowers were unbelievable.
So, my suggestion is to go between mid-April or early May, as it is no longer cold, the tulip fields are intact and the flower beds in the park are all in full bloom.
