Nothing says ‘Happy May’ like abundant pictures of May flowers!
When I was in Amsterdam, I spent a perfect morning at the famous Keukenhof flower garden.
I recommend the trip! Make the most of your visit with a few quick pieces of advice.
Advice for Perfect May Flowers Viewing
- Check your dates before you go. The tulip season is relatively short. The season runs from March to May, and flowers usually peak halfway through April. But with 7 million bulbs planted at the garden each year, you will see something beautiful on any visit.
- Arrive early! The transportation from the center is easy. However, crowds gather for the bus. If you don’t get an early bus, you may have to wait awhile. Also, my friends were stuck in traffic for hours when they left the city at 10 AM.
- Leave early! This garden gets VERY crowded in the afternoons. I arrived at 9:30 AM and left by 11 AM. When you leave you can explore the area around the gardens, home to additional tulip fields. Or you can simple head back to the city. Don’t worry-most Amsterdam tourists will still be sleeping off the party when you get back to the city.
I hope you enjoy these beautiful tulip photos! If you would like to see more, please get in touch-I have approximately 10,000 pictures from this day.
