Question: What If I Miss 'Tulip Time' at the Keukenhof? What Else Is There to See?
Answer:
While the Keukenhof Gardens near Amsterdam are probably best known for the tulip, hyacinth and narcissus displays that usually peak in mid-April, toward the end of its brief two-month opening, the park showcases plenty of other blooms. Late-season visitors can enjoy colorful azaleas and rhododendrons in the outdoor gardens, and marvel at the following stunning exhibitions in the indoor pavilions:
- Lilies: Past showcases have included "the world's largest lily show" with 20,000 lilies in 300 varieties.
- Orchids: The orchids on display at the Keukenhof are so perfect they almost seem unreal.
- Tropical plants: The village of Lisse feels a little closer to the equator with exhibitions of anthurium and bromelia.
