Keukenhof

One of the most impressive and typically Dutch attractions in the Netherlands is the flowerpark the Keukenhof, which is a great place for a romantic stroll. The Netherlands is the biggest flower exporter of the world. And it is here at the Keukenhof where the Dutch floriculture sector exhibits their flowers to show what they have to offer, which results in huge beautifully created flower gardens. Each year you can see over 7 million planted flowers blossoming on over 320.000 square meters or 79 acres of land, located on the land of the Castle Keukenhof which was build in 1642. The Keukenhof is usually open in late March, April and begin May. So if you come visit the Netherlands for Kingsday then the flowers are likely to be in full blossom. The famous tulip fields of the Netherlands are located around the Keukenhof, so you can also take a biking, sailing or even flying tour in the surrounding areas.

Visiting the Keukenhof
Once a year there is a huge flower parade around the Keukenhof called the Bloemencorso. At Meet The Cities we recommend visiting this parade to see the carnival wagons filled with amazing flower creations. This flower parade will be on 20 April 2024.

The flowerpark the Keukenhof itself in all its beauty can be enjoyed for several months each year. In 2024 the Keukenhof will be open from 21 March 2024 until 12 May 2024.
