Keukenhof Gardens in the Netherlands opens for spring 2025, showcasing seven million flowers, including stunning tulips, in a breathtaking seasonal display.

Keukenhof Gardens, the world’s largest flower garden, reopened its gates on March 20 and will remain open through May 11, 2025, offering a brief eight-week window for visitors to explore its vibrant displays.

Located just 18 miles (30km) from Amsterdam, Keukenhof spans 32 hectares and showcases over seven million flowers each season. Renowned for its tulip displays, the garden attracts tourists from across the globe, drawing in over 1.4 million visitors during its limited open period. The attraction is a must-visit for flower enthusiasts, photographers, and nature lovers alike.

The garden boasts over 800 tulip varieties, with yearly-changing floral arrangements themed around different concepts. Guests can wander through 10 miles (15km) of trails, encountering diverse flower beds featuring not only tulips but also daffodils, hyacinths, and other spring blooms. The park is meticulously designed to offer new flowers at every stage of the season. Early spring highlights crocuses and daffodils, followed by hyacinths and early tulips, before reaching the breathtaking peak tulip season in late April and early May.

Keukenhof isn’t just about flowers. It also serves as the largest sculpture garden in the Netherlands, with impressive artworks by both Dutch and international artists scattered throughout the park. For history buffs, the Tulpomania exhibition at the Juliana Pavilion offers a deep dive into the story of tulips and their significance to the Netherlands.

Tickets for the garden are priced at €25 (£21), and given the high demand, it is highly recommended to book them online in advance. Due to the popularity of the attraction, entry is managed through time slots, with tickets selling out quickly during peak times.

The garden is easily accessible from Amsterdam and other major Dutch cities such as The Hague, Rotterdam, and Leiden, with options to travel by car, bike, guided tour, or the Keukenhof Bus Express.
