Holland & The Bulbfields  |
<<< Back |
The “Greatest Flower Show on Earth” and the showpiece garden of the Dutch bulb industry, Keukenhof comes to life in a blaze of colour for two glorious months each spring. The setting is quite spectacular as the world famous tulips provide a dazzling blanket across the landscaped gardens. It takes around 10 months for the gardeners to prepare for the show and provide visitors with the opportunity to purchase the very latest flower varieties before they reach the garden centres.

A full day to explore the delights of Amsterdam. Truly one of
Europe’s most amazing cities, Amsterdam has a host of
attractions that are varied enough to suit all tastes. Even
getting around the city offers an amazing choice, including
boating on the 120 canals, crossed by over a thousand
bridges, riding the efficient tramway system, joining the
masses of cyclists, or just walking and taking in the sights
and sounds. Amsterdam’s museums, housing some of the
world’s greatest art treasures, include Rembrandt’s House,
the Vincent Van Gogh Rijksmuseum, Madam Tussaud, Anne
Franks’ House. An amazing, state of the art presentation is
the The Holland Experience and the City of Diamonds
features the industry’s craftsmanship. |
