Flower forecast - 14 April 2022 - Enjoy Easter between the tulips

The Easter weekend is one of the busiest weekends of the Tulip Season. The ultimate spring feeling with the many spring colours gives the special Easter Festival an extra dimension. The weather forecasts are good with lots of sunshine and lovely spring temperatures. The flowers are in bloom at the show gardens and in the flower fields and all the corona measures in the Netherlands have been lifted. So it really is time to celebrate spring! In this Flower Forecast we have some tips for your visit to the tulips for the coming week.

Flower Forecast – 14 April 2022

Current state of the tulip fields in Holland

The tulips finally continue to grow. At the tulip show gardens and on the tulip fields, more tulips are blooming every day. It is expected that the tulips will continue to bloom until at least 15 May. From the second week of May onwards, the farmers will start to head the production tulip fields. They do this to let the energy go back to the flower bulb. The flowers at the flower attractions are not headed and therefore continue to bloom splendidly.

Tips for visiting Keukenhof Gardens this week

In the coming weeks, the tulips in Holland will be in full bloom and we are happy that many people will come to admire this. We expect a lot of crowds and that makes it important to plan your trip well. Popular attractions like Keukenhof Gardens are often sold out. Below some tips to prepare well for your visit to the tulips:

Book your tickets in advance!
Individual tickets for Keukenhof Gardens are almost sold out for the next few days. There are no tickets available at the box office. If you still need to buy Keukenhof tickets, you can look for the early or late time slots. Another option is to book a tour from Amsterdam or look for the Keukenhof bus combi ticket. The following tours still have availability the coming days:

If you want to enjoy the Keukenhof cruise during your visit, we advise you to book the cruise in advance. There is only a limited capacity. The Keukenhof cruise starts from the flower park and so you must also have a Keukenhof ticket to go on the cruise.

Visit one of the smaller tulip attractions

Near the tulip fields are also several other tulip attractions that are definitely worth a visit. Tickets are often still available for these small-scale attractions. The attractions are less easily accessible by public transport, but are situated along the flower cycle route.
