The Keukenhof in Lisse, not far from Amsterdam, is one of the most important and best-known sights in the Netherlands. It is located in a 32-hectare park and is the largest flower garden in the world with 7 million freshly planted tulip bulbs every year. Five hundred growers make their most beautiful flowers available and leading florists and gardeners present unique arrangements in various pavilions. In 7 different inspiration gardens, the gardens are designed according to the latest trends.
