When is it the best time to visit Keukenhof in 2023?

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.
