The Keukenhof, nice for Thai in the Netherlands
If you want to surprise your Thai guest in the Netherlands with something nice, a visit to Keukenhof is at the top. Thai and especially the ladies love it flowers en tulips in particular. So take her (or him) to Lisse. The park will be open to the public from Thursday and will close on May 19, 2019.
Flower Power is the theme of Keukenhof in 2019. Flowers inspire people. In Keukenhof, the flowers connect people from all over the world, who enjoy tulips, scents and colors together. Holland is world famous for the beautiful flower bulb fields and all kinds of flowers that are grown there. With bright colours, hippies, peace & music, Flower Power represents the atmosphere of the early 70s. A wonderful theme to celebrate the 70th Keukenhof.
In the Flower Power flower mosaic, 50.000 bulbs have been planted in two layers. It is already blooming beautifully, a guarantee for beautiful photos and selfies. In addition, the flower shows in the Oranje Nassau Pavilion are entirely devoted to Flower Power and the inspirational gardens are dedicated to the theme.
Does anyone know how much the entrance fee is?
Due to many years abroad, my knowledge needs something
that is about to be updated again!
Dear Lodewijk, and that's what we have internet for: https://keukenhof.nl/nl/tickets
Thank you Peter.
Are tickets also available for a short visit, for example 14 days, with a schengen visa included? Then I know a number of people, including ladies who are interested. Is it no problem in Thailand to go/come on holiday for 14 days to see some beautiful things of the country.
Indeed, my Thai girlfriend went crazy, had to keep an eye on where she was, flew from hot to her with her smartphone, taking pics. She loved it!
Keukenhof is okay, but even better is to skip the long lines at the Keukenhof and drive through the neighboring municipalities and visit the real tulip fields.
You can rent bicycles from the high entrance fee that you save and go on the road all day.
Please note that you are not allowed to go onto the land just anywhere and certainly not to trample any flowers.
The entire bulb region from Noordwijk to Haarlem and also in the Flevoland are beautiful fields to visit.
Oh and the Flower Parade will be back on April 13, including a float from Thailand and China.
