Excursion Keukenhof tulip festival by helicopter tour at Amsterdam

Visit the world's most beautiful spring garden, home to over 7 million tulips, daffodils and hyacinths.

Keukenhof

Situated between Amsterdam and the Hague in the Dune and Bulb region, is the world's largest flower garden; Keukenhof, also known as the 'Garden of Europe'. Keukenhof is only open during Spring when the tulips are flowering, therefore your visit to Amsterdam is perfectly timed!

Keukenhof, ('kitchen garden') was originally a herb garden, providing herbs for Jacqueline, Countess of Hainaut's castle. Today, the garden has bloomed to include 80 acres of paved footpaths that cross lawns, streams, lakes and pavilions featuring various exhibitions. The powerful display of colour from the tulips, hyacinths and narcissi form a striking contrast with the greens of the grass and the trees.
