How to travel to Keukenhof from Amsterdam?

Hi Stan. Yes, you can definitely travel to the Keukenhof gardens by taxi. It till take you to the main entrance as no vehicles with the exception of a wheelchair, walker, pram or baby buggy are allowed inside the park. Keukenhof offers good access for wheelchairs and has plenty of disabled toilet facilities. You can also rent an electric wheelchair (costs €10 per day, requires a security deposit of €20 in cash). You can reserve a wheelchair up to the day before your visit at 17:00 at the latest.

Unfortunately, there is no discount for disabled persons.

I amsterdam city card is not valid for travel to Keukenhof. However, you can use Amsterdam & Region Travel Ticket, which is valid for transportation to and from Keukenhof.

As far as I can see here https://www.eurail.com/en/get-inspired/trains-europe/useful-train-information/participating-railway-companies yes, Dutch railway companies accept Eurail passes. But if you have any doubts or need an official confirmation, it’s better to address this question to Eurail customer service.

Hi Julie,
There are two types of combi tickets:
– from/to Schiphol, Hoofddorp, Haarlem, Leiden, region Bollenstreek, it costs €25
– from/to Amsterdam, it costs €30
You can use the first one to go back to any of the places listed in the first line, but not to Amsterdam.

However you can buy single tickets from the bus driver. A one-way ticket costs €5 in the bus 858 from Schiphol and €7 in the bus 852 to Amsterdam RAI.

You can travel from Rotterdam to Leiden or Schiphol by train and take the Keukenhof Express bus from there. For travel advice and timetables please consult https://9292.nl/en/journeyadvice/station-rotterdam-centraal/lisse_keukenhof/departure/2019-03-28T0941

You can rent a wheelchair in Keukenhof for free. Here is a link to booking. I’m not sure if it is an electric wheelchair, it’s better to address this question to Keukenhof directly. A € 20 cash deposit is required for a wheelchair. This will be refunded when you return the wheelchair.

Unfortunately, we don’t have any information regarding electic buggy’s rental.

Yes, you can: http://holland-explorer.com/keukenhof-from-schiphol/#comment-12595

You can check it at 9292.nl.

You can show them on your phones, that’s fine.

I would say 5 hours including travel is not such a long time for the gardens, I haven’t seen any shorter trips. But travelling independently is always an option. Keukenkof Express buses depart 4-12 times an hour.

You can take bus 397, 300 or 341 on any stop inside the traject described on this travel scheme (black lines). Bus 397 doesn’t stop near the Central station. To plan your route please check 9292.nl.

This combi-ticket is valid in buses 397, 852, 858, but not in metro line M52. For the shortest route combinations please check the travel scheme in the article or in the previous comment above.

No, cash is not accepted in the bus, you can only pay with bank/credit card.

Yes, you can travel back by train (for example from Hillegom station).
You can take your bicycle with you from 09:00 and 16:00 and between 18:30 and 06:30. A special bicycle ticket costs € 6,90. The price is the same, irrespective of the distance. For more detailed information about travelling by train with a bicycle please check https://www.ns.nl/producten/en/onbeperkt-reizen/p/fietskaart-dal

Yes, you can.

In general, Keukenhof Express buses are accessible to the passengers in a wheelchair. There is a special space in the central part of the bus enough for 2 wheelchairs. Tours & Tickets (please check their FAQ about accessibility here) also say “We can bring your wheelchair on the bus as long as it can be folded. Please note that electric wheelchairs do not fit on the bus”. If these are still not an option, I guess the best possibility is a private transfer.

You can buy ticket directly from the driver. But please note that bus line 852 departs from Amsterdam RAI, not Amsterdam CS.

No, this card is only valid in public transport inside Amsterdam.

Here is a map with directions from Amsterdam RAI train and metro station to the 852 bus stop.

In 2020 the Keukenhof gardens are open from 21 March till 10 May. Tulips in the field will also most probably be cut by that time.

18:42.

You can plan your trip to and from the Keukenhof gardens with the 9292.nl trip planner (website or app). You will immediately receive travel advice from your departure address.

I cannot tell you for sure. As a local, I don’t have much experience of going to Keukenhof by taxi. But Lisse, where the gardens are located, is a small place, and it’s quite far from Amsterdam. So I wouldn’t count on the possibility of finding a taxi on the spot and would book it in advance.

No idea about uber, sorry.

Use of electric wheelchairs is allowed at Keukenhof. But unfortunally electric wheelchairs are not available for rent at the park itself.
Manual wheelchairs are available for rent for €5 in the Keukenhof ticketshop.

Hi Naomi, please find the answer to your question here: https://holland-explorer.com/keukenhof-express/#other-tickets

Hello Bill! On May 10 tulips in the fields will probably be already cut. The farmers are growing them for the bulbs, so blooming flowers don’t stay in the fields too long.

But in the gardens everything will most probably be in its greatest shape! Here are a few photos taken at Keukenhof on May 9, 2017:

Have a nice visit to Keukenhof!

Hi Benjamin!

Thanks for the good question. I’ve checked it with the tickets provider. And the answer is: Bus 300 is not included.

Hello Giovanna, there is no information about a discount for the EYCA card holders on the Keukenhof official website. So I guess not.
Maybe you can also check the EYCA card website if they have any information.
