There are still spots for this trip as of Saturday morning 9h00. You can simply click on the Book Now button to reserve your seat(s). The tickets will be sent after booking. More practical information for participants can be found here, but the most important is to come on time for departure at 8h45 at Place Schuman next to the KBC and ING banks.
After many great trips to the Keukenhof this year we are going again on Sunday 8 May. The season is rather late this year, so even one week before closure of the park there are many flowers to see in the Keukenhof ánd outside. That is why this time we also offer you the possibility to join us for a great cycling tour through the famous colourful flower fields. Just choose what you want: only the Keukenhof, only cycling or a combination of both!
The Keukenhof is only open for 8 weeks per year between mid March and mid May and receives a million visitors in that period, so on average about 14.000 per day! The Keukenhof is truly world-famous as tourists come from all over the globe to visit this unique presentation of flowers. This is picture postcard Holland at its very best! So don’t forget your cameras!
Over 7 million bulbs in countless varieties are planted in the fall. The flowers are actually from dozens of exhibitors who want to show their latest colours and shapes. While walking through the park you can see which what company the flowers belong to. In the Keukenhof bulbs are planted in vertical layers, so the wide variety of flowers bloom in different periods. It’s an ingenious simple solution to ensure there are always many flowers to enjoy.
Upon arrival we are welcomed by original Dutch organ music. You are free to explore the park on your own or in smaller groups, or find one of the various restaurants around the park.
Since we are coming to the Keukenhof in the tulip season, we can see the endless colourful fields, both inside the park and in the surroundings. However, there are many other flowers on display as well, both outside and inside.
With over 32 hectares, the Keukenhof is larger than the Cinquantennaire Park, but it doesn’t have large open spaces. It boasts countless flower beds, exposition centers, ponds, a labyrinth, hills, a windmill and other cute little gardens. The variety is so big that you require a map to navigate through it and not to get lost (click here or on the image to download it).
Don’t forget your cameras to capture the amazing colours and shapes! Flowers are one of the most beautiful things our planet has to offer, and the sheer abundance and variety of the Keukenhof will leave an indelible impression.
To make our visit extra special, Expat Club has arranged private boats* that leave from behind the Keukenhof’s windmill and will take us through the famous flower fields. This way we can learn more about the flower growing industry. It’s a wonderful add-on to our Keukenhof day. A ticket should be reserved in advance and costs €10, including reservation costs. Please make sure to select this ticket on the cart page during the checkout process.
Cycling trip
For those who would rather go cycling you can choose to join us first in the park, or the other way around, or not visit the park at all. Your bicycle is included in the price already, but if you would also like to visit the park you will pay the entrance fees extra (€16). Note that this is a self-guided cycling tour, but the cycle company will provide you with maps. There are various routes, including a long one of 35km, and surely some smaller groups will form upon arrival.
The trip itself
We depart from Place Schuman at 09h00 with a comfortable 4* luxury coach (on-board toilet, DVD/TV, AC, comfort seats, extra leg space). Travelling together is a great way to get to know other people, while you can enjoy the scenery and on-board entertainment. Complimentary snacks and drinks are included!
We will again leave around 18h00, so we have plenty of time to visit all parts of the Keukenhof and explore the various exhibitions with smaller groups or individually. Our return time in Brussels is foreseen at 20h30.
Some final remarks:
- It goes without saying that the blooming status of the flowers depends to a large extent on the weather conditions, during the day and in the weeks/months before our visit.
- Most of the above pictures’ copyrights belong to the Keukenhof.
- If the whisper boat doesn’t fill up with guests from Expat Club, other visitors may join us.
- If you join the cycling tour, note that it is self-guided and that you are fully responsible yourself for damage to the bike, your own safety and getting back on time.
