Keukenhof is unlike anything else in the world. 🌷 Spread across 32 hectares in Lisse, Netherlands, this is one of the world’s largest flower gardens, and every spring, it comes to life with over 7 million bulbs in bloom — tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, and hundreds of varieties you’ve never even heard of.
The catch? It only opens for 8 weeks a year, usually late March through mid-May, which makes it one of the most seasonal travel experiences on the planet. Miss the window and you wait another year. I was so lucky I got to the chance to visit the garden this year, and see it in bloom! 🌼💐🌷
Inside, it’s less of a garden and more of a world — winding paths, glasshouses filled with rare blooms, windmills framed by fields of colour stretching as far as you can see. Every corner is a photograph. Every path takes you somewhere more beautiful than the last.
A few tips if you’re planning a visit — go on a weekday morning to beat the crowds, book your tickets in advance online (they do sell out), and pair it with a bike ride through the surrounding tulip fields for the full Dutch spring experience. 🌷🚲
This is the kind of place that reminds us why we travel. Put it on your list!
