De Bollenburcht(kopie)

During the spring season, Holland bursts with colourful tulip blooms that enliven the Dutch countryside. Situated in the heart of the Dutch ‘bulb region’, De Bollenburcht makes this phenomenon accessible to tourists with a tulip picking garden, a show garden and a bulb shop. Just a 30 minute ride in the car from Amsterdam, it is a convenient escape.

Tulips in bloom

The tulip picking garden is an opportunity to select your own bouquet that can be assembled from more than 100 varieties and a multitude of colours. The flowers in the bulb show garden cannot be picked, but there is certainly a lot to feast your eyes upon: there are more than 600 varieties of species including hyacinths and daffodils. There is also a shop with bulbs, potted plants and other garden-related products for sale, which make great souvenirs and gifts. For a more enriching context, view the panoramic paintings of the ‘Bulb Region’ that are part of a small art exhibition in the café and or visit the cinema where nostalgic films about the flower bulb culture are screened. De Bollenburcht can be your starting point for a day trip either by bike, car or foot to visit the surrounding areas of the bulb region – but do mind your dates, because the flowers are in bloom for a limited time.
