The Keukenhof tulip park is world famous, but I prefer to walk or ride my bicycle past the fields. They are large, open, more chaotic and often right in the middle of other natural beauty. It’s great to go and find them on your own accord, on foot or by bike.
Not many people know that most tulip farms are in the Noordoostpolder, in the province of Flevoland. East of Lelystad you can find large, colourful tulip fields.
More well known are the tulip farms along the coast near Den Haag and Leiden, up towards Alkmaar. Good places to visit there are Noordwijk, Sassenheim and Limmen.
Best time:
From mid-March to late May large parts of the Netherlands are transformed into colourful patchwork quilts. The best time to see them is April, when the fields are in full bloom and brightest.
