Tip: to get a good view of the flower parade, we advise you to watch the Flower Parade south of Keukenhof. At Keukenhof itself it is very busy and further along the route it often gets quieter. In the nearby centre of Lisse (about 15 minutes’ walk from Keukenhof), there is a party every year. Watching the flower parade there is also great.
