When Tulips Bloom, It’s Spring in Holland

What better time to go cycling in Holland then when famous Dutch flowers are in full bloom? On a tulip tour by bicycle to the flower kingdom in March, April and May chances for perfect cycling weather are good. This is also the time when Keukenhof Park opens its doors in Holland on 23 March 2017 for its annual eight-week run.

However, the star of the show is undoubtedly the tulip – present with 800 varieties!
