1. Keukenhof
Keukenhof is the ultimate spring day out in the Netherlands: a 32-hectare park filled with around 7 million spring-flowering bulbs, including 800 varieties of tulips. It feels like walking through a living tulip catalogue, with sweeping flower beds, themed gardens, and indoor flower shows.
Open in 2026: 19 March to 10 May, daily from 08:00 to 19:00.
Plan for 3 to 5 hours: Enough time to wander, take photos, and enjoy the pavilions without rushing. For a calmer visit, go before 10:30 or after 16:00, and if you can, pick Monday to Wednesday.
2. Tulip Experience
For a hands-on tulip adventure, head to the Tulip Experience Amsterdam. This unique attraction combines education, fun, and plenty of photo ops.
Plan for 1-2 Hours:This gives you enough time to explore the museum, take photos, and enjoy the tulip fields.
3. Tulip Barn
For a relaxed, super photogenic tulip stop near Keukenhof, visit The Tulip Barn in Hillegom.
You can stroll through their tulip garden and production field, with lots of photo spots, plus a greenhouse café and play area for kids.
Plan for 45 to 60 Minutes: Most visitors spend about 45 minutes in the tulip garden itself, then add extra time if you want coffee, lunch, or a break with the kids.
