Tulip Bloom in Holland - Keukenhof 2025

They are as much a part of Holland as the canals are to Amsterdam - the beautifully blooming tulips. Visit the Dutch community of Lisse during the blooming season, and make sure to head to the Keukenhof to be enchanted by the variety of colors and the special atmosphere.

The 2025 Season: The Keukenhof will welcome you from March 20 to May 11, 2025.

Every year, tourists from around the world flock to the small community of Lisse in South Holland, which has about 23,000 residents and is only a roughly 40-minute drive from Amsterdam, to visit the famous Keukenhof. However, they don't come here year-round - no, it's primarily the spring season that offers a special appeal to most visitors. The residents of Lisse are likely to experience a significant influx from around the end of March to the end of May in their otherwise quiet, small community. A look at the following images will surely inspire you to take a little trip to the Netherlands!

Towards the end of March, coinciding with the calendar's start of spring, things slowly begin: a part of Holland transforms into a sea of flowers at this time. Huge fields compete with their color splendor. First, the crocuses bloom, followed by daffodils and hyacinths, and finally, the long-awaited tulips come forth to show their full glory.

The most popular place to admire the colorful fields is the Keukenhof in Lisse. Here, there are over seven million flower bulbs, including 800 different varieties of tulips, spread across a total of 32 hectares. Once you arrive, it's best to hop on a bike, as this allows you to admire the vast fields from the most beautiful perspectives. However, the various exhibitions and events that take place during the season are also worth a visit. These include spectacular flower shows, inspiration gardens that could have come from a storybook, and events such as the romantic rose festival, the fairy tale festival, or the traditional Dutch weekend.

The Keukenhof in Lisse will be open this year from March 20, 2025, to May 11, 2025, and welcomes you daily from 8 AM to 7:30 PM. Tickets are available online starting at €18.50 for group bookings (minimum of 20 people), individual adult tickets cost €19.50, and tickets for children and youths from ages 4 to 17 are €9.

The Keukenhof is a paradise for flower fans. You can look forward to numerous colorful shows and various tours, as well as other interesting events filled with color and good cheer:

Generally speaking, the best time to visit is between mid-March and the end of April. However, as is often the case, there is no absolute guarantee that you will see the colorful tulips in full bloom during these days, depending on weather conditions. However, those who have traveled in mid-April in recent years have never been disappointed. Additionally, the organizers recommend visiting on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, as the park is quietest then, allowing you to enjoy the flower show in the most relaxed manner.

Besides the Keukenhof in Lisse, the tulip fields along the coast of The Hague, Leiden, and Alkmaar in northern Holland are also very popular.

Combine your trip to Amsterdam with a colorful outing to the beautiful Keukenhof. This way, alongside an extensive sightseeing tour through Amsterdam, you can also take a stroll through one of the most beautiful flower parks in the world. In addition to the brightly colored tulips and exciting events, there is also plenty for younger guests to enjoy: a playground to let off steam, a maze, and even a petting zoo. So, if that's not the perfect place for a lovely family outing - maybe even as an Easter vacation.
