Unsurprisingly, Holland is home to one of the most magnificent flower gardens in the world.In magic springtime, Dutch town of Lisse turns into a colorful landscape with all hues and tints of colors - the vibrant blooms of over 7 million bulbs, thoughtfully placed along serene ponds and romantic pathways.Keukenhof landscape has its own peak blooming time: first appear crocuses, followed by vibrant daffodils, then fragrant hyacinths and finally, come the tulips around mid-April.It's perfect for photo ops (basically just like all places form this tour, so keep your cameras ready at all times!)

The striking colors of the flowering tulip bulbs are a typical sight in Holland during the spring. You will explore the Keukenhof flowers gardens, where you will be amazed by colors of about 7 million bulbs and 800 varieties of tulips. This is a real feast for the eyes, which looks like thousands of paint buckets exploded all over! To call the scenery epic would be an understatement.The refreshing aroma in the air and the tranquility of the garden will fill up your heart and will revive your mind. It is really worthwhile to visit this park, because you will understand what lies behind the Dutch culture: love for beauty and nature, order, skill, experimenting. This park is very big and every year it is changed and renewed, and the result is impressive. Soak it all up.
