Tulips above Amsterdam

In the spring, from mid-March to mid-May, a large part of Holland above Amsterdam turns into one large sea of flowers. It starts in March with the crocus season. Then the daffodils and hyacinths emerge and finally the tulips show their colors, from mid-April to early May.

How further you go to the top of Holland above Amsterdam, the more impressive. Cycle or walk through the endless bulb fields, book an excursion with the family, your partner or friends and visit the greenhouses, which are open to the public.
