Tulips! Keukenhof, Tulip Experience and the flower fields

Discover the best of tulip season in one relaxed day trip from Amsterdam. This small-group tour combines famous highlights with lesser-known spots, timed to avoid the crowds.

Keukenhof

We start early at Keukenhof, the world’s most famous spring garden. With fewer visitors in the morning, we’ll have time to explore the park at our own pace. Walk past themed pavilions, quiet corners and thousands of colorful flowers, planted in carefully designed patterns.

Tulip Experience or Tulip Barn

Our next stop is the Tulip Experience or Tulip Barn, where you’ll learn more about tulip growing and get the perfect photo between the fields. There’s also time to visit the shop or try a local snack.

Scenic drive

From there, we drive north of Amsterdam. This region is home to the largest commercial tulip fields in the world. After lunch in a small village café, we take a scenic drive past miles of blooming fields, with several photo stops along the way. We’ll also walk up a dune to view the fields from above. At the end of the afternoon, we return to Amsterdam.

Want to explore the tulip season without the hassle of planning? This is a comfortable, well-paced day trip with room for personal attention and plenty of time for photos.
