Buy TicketsKeukenhof — literally "kitchen garden" — is a 32-hectare flower park in Lisse, 30 minutes south of Amsterdam, that opens for just eight weeks a year between mid-March and mid-May. Inside, 40 Dutch growers display 7 million bulbs across themed gardens, four pavilions and historic woodland paths. The narrow opening window plus 1.5 million visitors makes timed-entry tickets essential — combo bus + entry tickets from Schiphol or Amsterdam are the smoothest option.

Seven million bulbs, planted by hand
Every autumn, 40 Dutch flower growers plant seven million bulbs at Keukenhof — by hand, in carefully designed waves. The first crocuses break ground in late February; daffodils and hyacinths peak in early April; and the famous tulip ribbons reach full bloom around mid-April, lasting through to early May. Each year the planting design is completely new, so no two seasons look the same.
The garden was created in 1949 to showcase Dutch bulb growers to the world, and it's still owned and operated by the industry. The bulb fields you can see from the train and bus en route are working farms — stretching for kilometres in stripes of red, yellow, pink and white.
