Tulips & Beyond! Local's Guide to Spring in Amsterdam
Keukenhof
Known as the "Garden of Europe" this garden has many gardens within it's walls, plus a few greenhouses and a windmill, too! You could easily spend 4-6 hours here, so plan accordingly.
I use the Keukenhof Express that they have on their website. They pick up at the RAI Convention Center (metro stop RAI or metro/tram stop Europaplein depending on which metro you take). You chose a time to leave but you can take the bus back at any time. It runs about 8 times an hour and is an express bus.
Tulip Fields
Since the Keukenhof is a garden, you might be wondering about the tulip fields. Well, we have SO MANY! The area around Keukenhof is known as the Bollenstreek and has many fields plus some with memorable experiences worth a visit. I've listed a few in this area.
