Thinking of visiting the "Garden of Europe"? With over 7 million bulbs in bloom, Keukenhof is a must-see for anyone visiting Amsterdam this spring.
Here is everything you need to know to plan your perfect floral escape:
When to Go
Keukenhof is open from March 20th to May 11th, 2026.
Opening Hours: 08:00 – 19:30 daily.
Pro Tip: Arrive before 10:30 or after 16:00 to avoid the biggest crowds and get those perfect, "people-free" photos!
How to Get There from Amsterdam
Getting there is easy, but booking in advance is mandatory!
The Keukenhof Express (Bus 852): Departs directly from Europaplein (RAI). It’s the fastest way—about 35 minutes.
Via Schiphol: Take a train to Schiphol Airport, then hop on Bus 858.
Guided Tours: Many shops in Amsterdam's city center offer "Combi-tickets" (Bus + Entrance), which is the most stress-free option.
Don't Miss
The Windmill: Climb up for a stunning view of the surrounding tulip fields.
Whisper Boats: Take a silent boat trip through the flower canals just outside the park.
The Flower Parade: This year’s Bloemencorso happens on April 18th
Location: Stationsweg 166A, Lisse (approx. 40 mins from Amsterdam).
Tickets: Sold online only! They do not sell tickets at the gate, so book your time slot early at keukenhof.nl.
