‘Garden of Europe’<br />

Keukenhof, Netherlands<br />

A Spectacle Display<br />

of Unparalleled Beauty<br />

Just imagine visiting plots of land garlanded with various types of flowers that create an undulating<br />

sea of vibrant colours. That’s the glorification of the tulip festival at Keukenhof, Netherlands. Proud<br />

producer of about 7 million tulips per year, Keukenhof opens its door to visitors around late <strong>March</strong> to<br />

mid-May each year with this year falling on 24 <strong>March</strong> to 16 May 2016.<br />

Since its opening in 1950, Keukenhof has grown into a world-famous attraction. The park covers an<br />

expansive 32 hectares and gathers over 800,000 visitors per year with 75 per cent of them coming<br />

from abroad. Dubbed as one of the world’s largest flower gardens, Keukenhof displays more than 20<br />

flower shows over eight weeks every year - aptly earning the title ‘Garden of Europe’.<br />
