The World’s Most Beautiful Tulip Garden: Keukenhof Gardens in the Netherlands Paint a Van Gogh-Inspired Masterpiece

Each spring, over seven million tulips, daffodils, lilies, and hyacinths bloom at Keukenhof Gardens, transforming the landscape into a breathtaking, colorful masterpiece. The 32-hectare expanse of floral splendor is unforgettable. Originally, in the 15th century, Keukenhof was a hunting ground belonging to Countess Jacoba van Beieren. At that time, the countess planted vegetables, herbs, and medicinal plants in her backyard for cooking, naming the area “Keukenhof.” Thus, the Dutch name Keukenhof literally means “kitchen garden”—a combination of the words “keuken” (kitchen) and “hof” (garden).
