We had to wait a long time for it this tulip season, but now most of the tulip fields in Holland are in bloom. Due to the cold weather, this is extremely late. We even expect to have tulips flowering until 16 May. And although Keukenhof Gardens must unfortunately remain closed, more and more people are discovering the possibility of cycling along the tulip fields or taking a sightseeing tour.
Due to the corona measures, many tulip activities are not allowed to open yet. If you want to know how you can still enjoy the tulips, check out our corona page.
