The Netherlands, often hailed as the “Kingdom of Tulips,” is a sacred place in the hearts of nature lovers and flower enthusiasts alike. Especially as spring quietly approaches, with thousands of tulips blooming in competition, the Dutch landscape transforms into a picturesque scene straight out of a poem.
Located along the Prince’s Canal in Amsterdam, the Tulip Museum immerses visitors into a fantastical world as soon as they step inside. Delving deep into the origins of bulbs in the Himalayas and the enchanting tulip mania that swept the nation in the 17th century, the museum offers a comprehensive exploration of tulip history and culture, allowing visitors to feel the deep connection between tulips and the land of the Netherlands.
Next, you can drive just 40 minutes from the heart of Amsterdam to Keukenhof Park. Spanning 79 acres, this park boasts over 7 million bulbs, including more than 800 varieties of tulips. Undoubtedly the world’s largest garden, it is also the Netherlands’ most dazzling floral exhibition.
Notably, in 2024, the Keukenhof Park’s walking gardens will be open from March 21st to May 12th. This period undoubtedly offers the best opportunity to admire tulips. You can stroll along the pathways, admiring the blooming tulips on either side while feeling the gentle spring breeze on your face. Here, you can find the long-lost tranquility and contentment, rediscovering your own happiness and fulfillment.
