When is it the best time to visit Keukenhof in 2022?
To see the flower fields in bloom we recommend to come to the Netherlands from last decade of April to the first decade of May (though the exact dates are very dependent on weather). During this period the chance to see the flower fields in bloem is the highest. You will find numerous publicly accessible fields in the neighbourhood of Lisse and Hillegom.
You can also take a whisper boat that departs from Keukenhof itself and floats through the flower fields in the region. The boat trip takes 45 minutes.

The Mauritshuis museum is one of the most famous Dutch museums. It is located just 30 km away from Keukenhof, in the center of The Hague. It’s a great idea to visit both locations in one day.
This year the Mauritshuis museum is celebrating their 200th birthday. The exhibition In Full Bloom featuring the most beautiful flower paintings of the 17th century is open from 10 February 2022 till 6 June 2022. Definitely worth a visit! Remember to book tickets in advance.
