KEUKENHOF

Il Keukenhof è il vero punto di forza del tour.
Situato nel cuore della zona dei tulipani dell’Olanda Meridionale, il Keukenhof un tempo era solo un orto e un giardino di erbe aromatiche.
Oggi ospita circa 800.000 turisti all’anno e detiene il titolo di giardino fiorito più grande del mondo.
Milioni di bulbi sono piantati nei 32 ettari di giardini e nei 15 chilometri di camminamenti che si snodano lungo tutto il percorso di visita.
I giardini sono ricoperti da una moltitudine di bulbi primaverili dai colori vivaci, tra cui tulipani, giacinti, narcisi e altri.
Esplora il giardino storico, il giardino giapponese e il giardino inglese.
Ammira le sculture floreali, che si basano su un tema annuale.
Visita guidata e tempo libero.

SCENIC DRIVE

We continue with a lovely ride through the bulbflower area in Lisse, which is only a short ride from Amsterdam. Depending on the season, a landscape with vibrant carpets of bulbflowers in nearly every color you can think of is visible.

LUNCH IN THE HISTORICAL CITY OF LEIDEN

It’s time for lunch! After Keukenhof, you’ll be driven to the beautiful and historical city of Leiden where you’ll have lunch at a traditional Dutch pancake restaurant.

Oudt Leyden restaurant has become one of the most famous and favourite pancake houses in the Netherlands. Over the years, the restaurant has been visited by a variety of international celebrities such as Charles de Gaulle, Sir Winston Churchill and even various members of the Dutch Royal Family.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, a collection of functional windmills, wooden homes, stables, and shops may be seen in the windmill town of Zaanse Schans, which is an outdoor museum. All of these structures were relocated here starting in 1961, revitalizing the Zaan region’s most profitable era.
