Amazing colors, beautiful aromas, and more than 7 million tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths have made the Keukenhof Gardens some of the most famous in the world. Join us to visit this dazzling park from Amsterdam!
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.
