Tulip bloom in Holland: where and when to admire it
The blooming of tulips is the real star of Dutch spring. Every year millions upon millions of blooming bulbs color the meadows of Holland, and Keukenhof Park. Keukenhof is a botanical park about 30 kilometers from Amsterdam that is home to 8 million bulbs each year, which once in bloom provide a unique spectacle
When do tulips bloom in the Netherlands?
Like all things natural, no exact date can be pinpointed but the park between March and May. In addition to 800 varieties of tulips, it also houses hyacinths, daffodils and many other colorful bulbs in its 32 hectares. The combination of flowers of different kinds and shades creates beautiful patterns and plays of color.
Walking through the park you can get a taste of the skill of Dutch growers, and discover the different types of tulips, which can be very different indeed. It is such an impressive sight that in 2017 Keukenhof was voted the best spring park in the world. About 1 million people from all over the world visit the Keukenhof park during the 8 weeks it is open.
Where to admire tulips in the Netherlands
Without a doubt, Keukenhof Park is an unmissable stop: it is the largest flower park in the world, a place to enjoy the magic of the scents and colors of the approximately 7 million tulips, hyacinths, and daffodils.
Every year a part of the park is dedicated to a theme, and to the construction of a real picture, a mosaic of flowers. Themes in recent years include Van Gogh in 2015, The Golden Century in 2016, Dutch Design in 2017 and Romanticism in Flowers in 2018, and Flower Power and the iconic 1960s and 1970s in 2019. In 2022 the theme was Flower Classic, focusing on Dutch floral history and culture, while the theme for 2023 was “classic flowers.”
The park is also an ideal destination for those traveling with children: in fact, it offers activities and exhibits for even the youngest children throughout the opening period.
