Flowers of Holland: Dutch glory and tulips from Amsterdam.
The Flowers of Holland are a vibrant part of Dutch culture and landscape, with tulips from Amsterdam being a famous symbol. Every spring, tulip fields bloom across the countryside, filling areas like Keukenhof and Bollenstreek with stunning colours of red, yellow, pink, and purple. As a result these fields attract many visitors, making them one of Holland’s most photographed sights.
FloraHolland flower auction.
Additionally another highlight is the Royal FloraHolland flower auction, the largest in the world, where millions of flowers are traded daily. This auction shows the Netherlands’ leading role in the global flower market.
From Amsterdam’s flower markets to the colourful tulip fields and bustling flower auctions, Holland’s flowers represent a cherished tradition and national pride. Whether walking through tulip gardens or watching the auction, you’ll see the beauty and importance of Dutch floriculture.

How was Keukenhof 2022?
In 2022 the number of visitors was 1,1 million.
20% from the Netherlands. Followed by Germany 15%, the USA 10%.
Trending is the increasing number of families and young people visiting.
Keukenhof opened its gates on the 24th of March.
Hans Langh started the Keukenhof private tour again.
Spring started with low temperatures; in the first two weeks there were not many spectacular sights. Tulips bloomed in the snow.
Easter was early this year. Hyacinths, daffodils, and crocuses. But no tulips blooming in the flower fields.
Oranje Nassau Pavilion had as always much to offer: the roses show, the summer flower show and ‘Flower Power’.
The last week of April and the first two weeks of May the tulip fields were in maximum blooming.
Travellers that booked the tulip tour were very excited.
So nature goes its own way like usual.
Central theme of Keukenhof:
The central theme of Keukenhof 2022 was ‘Flower Classics’.
Central theme of Keukenhof 2024 was it’s 75th Anniversary.
During Keukenhof 2025 each pavilion and flower show will have a theme.
Seven million bulbs.
Keukenhof’s gardeners will be planting the first bulbs in October.
This marks the start of the planting of seven million bulbs for the next year’s display.
From the March until May you can enjoy eight hundred varieties of tulips. Also Narcissus, Hyacinths, Daffodils, Lilies, Orchids, and Peonies. Early and late-blooming perennials.
Best time to join my private Keukenhof tour.
Let’s meet again in Spring 2025.
Also, next year Keukenhof will be a great place to be.
All staff of Keukenhof is friendly and helpful as ever.
The Keukenhof gardens are truly amazing and not to be missed.
My Keukenhof private tour will be for all an excellent experience and for many a highlight of the trip to Holland.
Next season Hans Langh private tours will make sure that everyone will feel comfortable, will be informed, and that you will have a great trip!!
Keukenhof 2025 dates: from the 20th of March until the 11th of May.
To see tulips full blooming my advice would be to book between 1st of April and 1st of May. Follow my tulip alert on this page!
My preference is to leave early, around 8 am, from your hotel to be at the gardens during the peaceful hours. If leaving earlier we could start with a visit to the Flora Holland flower auction. The golden hours for a Keukenhof visit can also be after 5 or 6 pm. From Amsterdam, it is a drive of less than one hour. Keukenhof park will close at 7.30 pm and will give you another three hours.
I will join you all the way to take photos. Lots of photos!
Daffodils, tulips, Muscari naturally planted in woodlands. Eighty acres of flowers in open fields but also lots of inside activities.
