Netherlands 2: Tulips of Keukenhof

Keukenhof's Windmill and Tulips

Even though this statement may appear culturally insensitive, windmills and tulips are two of Netherlands’ biggest tourism draws. At Keukenhof, tulips are definitely the center of attention. There are other flowers at Keukenhof. But none of them take up as much space and display as many different colors and shapes.

Tulips came from Turkey to the Netherlands in the sixteenth century. Since then, cultivating the flower not only became a hobby and an art form, but also an industry. At Keukenhof, you can examine the different varieties created up close and personal at its greenhouses and gardens. And you can take a boat ride around its fields to see how they grow and live together.
