Keukenhof is acclaimed as the king of European gardens, boasting the world’s largest and most beautiful tulip garden, making it an ideal destination for a romantic floral paradise! Moreover, Keukenhof is a landmark attraction in Lisse, the Netherlands, so it’s a must-visit when in the Netherlands!

In addition to tulips, there are also daffodils, hyacinths, lilies, and more. Every year, over one million visitors from different countries and cultures gather at Keukenhof Tulip Garden to enjoy the Dutch national flower together.
Keukenhof Garden has a different theme each year, showcasing various floral decorations, activities, artworks, and events. The themes for 2020 and 2021 were “Colorful World,” but both were canceled due to the pandemic. The theme for 2022 was “Flower Classics.” In 2023, Keukenhof decided to try multiple themes.
