Planning a visit to Keukenhof this spring? It’s a must-see—but also incredibly popular. Here’s how to make the most of your tulip trip.
The Keukenhof Gardens are spectacular, but with around 45,000 visitors a day, it gets crowded fast. If you go, aim for 8 a.m. or late afternoon when the crowds thin out. A shuttle bus takes you there, but expect long return lines during peak hours.
Looking for a more relaxed experience? Just a few miles from Keukenhof, you’ll find the Tulip Experience and The Tulip Barn—smaller, quieter, and full of charm. Walk through colorful fields, take postcard-worthy photos, and learn all about the history of tulip growing in the Netherlands. Both locations are easy to reach by foot or bike. You can even rent a bike right outside the gardens.
Stress-free visit?
Want a completely stress-free visit? A private tulip tour gives you full flexibility. We’ll take care of the details, and even combine it with other Dutch highlights—like windmills, Delft, or a hidden castle. Ready to plan your perfect tulip day?
