A special bus from Amsterdam to the Keukenhof gardens will be operating the whole season. It will take you from Amsterdam center to the Keukenhof entrance. Check hotels in Amsterdam >>

Our favourite hotel in Amsterdam is Ambassade Amsterdam, a quality 4-star hotel situated on Herengracht, one of the most prestegious locations in the city. Ambassade hotel has its own restaurant serving French and international cuisine – it’s also totally recommended!

We also love De Ware Jacob, a beautiful family-owned boutique hotel in Amsterdam Oud Zuid, close to Museum square, Van Gogh museum, Rijksmuseum and Moco museum. De Ware Jacob hotel is not big, so if you want to stay here in spring, you need to make a reservation in advance.

See you in Keukenhof in 2026!
