Unfortunately, all tulip events were canceled in 2020 due to Coronavirus (COVID-19) and the tulip season in Holland is now over. Nevertheless, there is also good news because many activities in Amsterdam are slowly starting up again. If you had to postpone your visit to Amsterdam until later in 2020, you can see below which activities have been opened with which extra measures.
Unfortunately, the real tulips can only be admired in the spring, but there is so much to do in Amsterdam that you certainly won’t get bored. From 15 June the borders will open up for many European countries.
Later in 2020 we will also give more information about the extra measures for Tulip Festival 2021.
As we mentioned earlier, Amsterdam is slowly reopening. Restaurants, attractions, museums and tours can all start cautiously from 1 June. Of course, additional measures apply, such as booking your visit in advance at various activities. In the Netherlands, people must always keep a distance of 1.5 meters and that face masks are only mandatory in public transport.
