One of the items on my bucket list is to visit the mesmerizing tulip fields at the world-renowned Keukenhof Gardens. Located about an hour outside of the city, this expansive 19th-century park is home to a vibrant, colorful sea of over 800 varieties of tulips and other Spring flowers. There is no surprise why visitors from all around the globe travel here to take in these breathtaking fields. Can you even imagine how intoxicating the scent of those fresh blooms must be?
However, the one caveat is that these gardens are only open to the public for a very small window of time each year. And believe it or not, my husband and I arrived to the city just one week after these gardens closed. One week too late! Talk about heartbreak. So if you're planning your Amsterdam trip and want to see these tulips in person, mark your calendars because the park is open from March 22 until May 13, 2018!
