It is located on the outskirts of Lisse. From the medieval times, it was the area of a herb and vegetable garden that belonged to a nearby castle. It was not until the 20th century that the place was transformed into a flower garden, where the most outstanding flower bulb growers presented the most interesting plant varieties. Currently, Keukenhof is one of the largest gardens of this type in the world . Between the walking paths you can admire whole carpets of colorful tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, crocuses, narcissus and lilies. It is also worth visiting the neighboring castle and the nineteenth-century windmill , with an observation deck overlooking the surrounding fields, covered with colorful flower carpets.
