One specific must-do at Keukenhof is visiting the Inspiration Gardens—a collection of themed displays designed by top Dutch landscape architects.

From mid-March to May, this journey transforms into a vibrant tapestry of tulips, with the Keukenhof Gardens as the crown jewel. Expect a day of floral wonder, spring air, and unforgettable Dutch color. Please note that due to the seasonal nature of this stop, it is only open between March and May, and advanced tickets with specific arrival times from the official website are required.
Established in 1949 on the grounds of a 17th century manor, Keukenhof is the largest flower garden in the Netherlands and one of the largest in the world. Alongside the world-famous Dutch tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, orchids, roses, carnations, irises, lilies, and many other flowers add to an extravaganza of colors and scents. Please note: the garden is only open for a few weeks in the Spring when the flowers are in bloom. To see the garden’s schedule, please visit https://keukenhof.nl/en/
