Noordwijkerhout
For unrivalled tulip country, head to Noordwijkerhout and see the bulbs in their element. Situated here is Holland Tulip Park, where you can appreciate tulips as far as the eye can see on a casual stroll or over a coffee. Wander around the Park's museum with its interesting history of the Netherlands' bulb region. In Noordwijkerhout itself, cycle between the bulb fields, take a peaceful stroll in the woods, or head down to the nearby sea for a reflective afternoon.
Lisse
You haven't seen a tulip until you've been to Keukenhof, the Netherlands' most popular springtime destination nestled between the towns of Hillegorn and Lisse. Named after the Countess of Holland, Jacoba van Beiren, who gathered herbs here in the 1400s, the Keukenhof site spans a whopping eighty acres and boasts a rainbow of tulips, narcissi, daffodils, as well as just about any other flower imaginable.
