Keukenhof Tulip Festival, Amsterdam, Holland

It's only 3 months until the Keukenhof Tulip Festival kicks off once again (opens 24 March 2011). Here are some photos from the beautiful gardens in full bloom to inspire you.

It is a beautiful day out wondering around the gardens and many people hire bikes to ride through the tulip fields and admire the Dutch windmills.


The gardens are located near Amsterdam and there is a bus that runs regularly from Amsterdam and direct from Schiphol airport.  There are cafes though I would recommend taking a picnic lunch like many of the locals.

Details: Late March is the start of the festival and April is a good time for full bloom.  See their website for price and further details http://www.keukenhof.nl/index/. If you are in Amsterdam at the right time of the year be sure to head out to the festival - even if you are not a tulip enthusiast!
