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 showcase their most beautiful flowers and leading florists and gardeners present unique arrangements in various pavilions. In 7 different inspired gardens, the experiences are designed according to the latest trends. A spectacular view of the magnificent sea of colours of tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, orchids, roses, carnations, irises and lilies is offered by the 15-kilometre-long walking path in the Keukenhof park. In addition to the magnificent flower gardens, Keukenhof also has the largest sculpture park in the Netherlands with over 150 sculptures by Dutch and international artists.
