from £119

Every spring the Dutch bulbfields are a wonderful feast for the eyes. We include admission to Keukenhof Gardens, a riot of colour with almost eight million bulbs including tulips, daffodils, narcissus, hyacinths, lilies and amaryllis. The spectacular display is set against a sumptuous backdrop of traditional and modern landscape gardening. The 32-hectare park has themed gardens, water features and indoor flower shows with dispays including azaleas, orchids and begonias. It is easy walking with flat paths in the park and there are several restaurants. Workshops led by artistic flower arrangers can be organised for groups (small additional cost).
