Tulips above Amsterdam

Flowers, as far as the eye can see. Holland above Amsterdam is the largest tulip area in the Netherlands. Cycle or hike through endless, colourful bulb fields, take part in a tulip excursion or a spectacular helicopter ride over the tulip fields.

Springtime means flowers get a spot in the limelight through events such as Bloemendagen in Anna Paulowna, the Flower Parade in Winkel, Bloeiend Zijpe and Kleurrijk Julianadorp.

In the Hortus Bulborum, you can see over 500 types of flower bulbs in bloom. Be on time! The Hortus Bulborum is only open six weeks of the year. Also, be sure to include Land van Fluwel, with stunning gardens, the polder garden in Anna Paulowna and the tulip excursion in Slootdorp on your to-do list. Enjoy the vibrancy of spring in Holland above Amsterdam!

Take into account that events are cancelled until September 1th 2020 and companies are closed due to the measures taken to contain the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
