When you see the Keukenhof's fields of more than 7 million tulips you'll understand two things. One: tulips really are beautiful. And two: the Dutch sure do love them! A visit here is a rare opportunity too – it’s only open a few weeks a year. Don't miss the chance to feast your eyes on one of the world's most colorful affairs and plan your Keukenhof visit today. The tulip is to the Netherlands as the Taj Mahal is to India, or the Eiffel Tower is to France – a symbol of the country known around the world. But while you can see the Eiffel Tower and the Taj Mahal year round, you can only see these tulips in the spring. These Keukenhof tickets will get you right into this exquisite flowerfest. And, as you wander the colorful gardens and pavilions, you'll also learn the story of the Dutch love affair with this perennial bulb; it rose (tuliped?) to prominence during the Dutch Golden Age of the 1600s.
