Day Trip to the Keukenhof Gardens
Description
The setting of the Keukenhof Gardens was used during the 15th century as the game reserve and herb garden for the kitchen of Jacqueline, Countess of Hainaut. This is where the name of the garden comes from: it directly translates to "the kitchen garden."
Over the centuries, the garden has passed through numerous private hands until it was acquired by the foundation that transformed it into how we know it today: an annual event that attracts millions of visitors from all over the world.
Today, Keukenhof is 32 hectares (80 acres) in size, with 15 kilometres (9.3 miles) of winding paths and tons of floral expositions, gardens, and artwork. This has become an unmissable sight for anyone who visits Holland in the spring.
Visiting Keukenhof
This day trip includes round-trip transport by bus from Amsterdam to the Keukenhof Gardens, as well as admission to the park. During the bus ride, you'll gain interesting and helpful insights and information about the amazing sights you'll pass by.
The Keukenhof Gardens is one of the largest flower parks in the world, with over 7 million flower bulbs planted annually. As you make your way through the park grounds, you'll admire more than just tulips. You'll be captivated by endless rows of hyacinths, daffodils, and lillies!
