Here, you'll be mesmerized by the vast tulip fields, the rows of towering trees casting cool shadows, or the small streams flowing into large ponds where graceful white swans swim freely.

Organized annually since 1949, the Tulip Festival has turned Keukenhof into one of the most attractive tourist destinations in the Netherlands, while also boosting the flower cultivation and sales industry in the country.
