1World famous Keukenhof is one of the most popular visits in the Netherlands.  Keukenhof was a section of the large estate of Slot Teylingen from the 15th century.   After the death of Jacoba van Beieren, Keukenhof fell into the hands of Baron and Baroness Van Pallandt.  They invited landscape architects J.D. and L.P. Zocher, designers of the Amsterdam Vondelpark, to design the garden around the castle. This design, in the English landscape style, is the basis of Keukenhof.
1Now the estate is owned by a corporation.  On the initiative of the mayor of Lisse and a number of leading flower bulb growers and exporters- the first open air flower exhibition was organized in 1949—expanding to an annual event that has drawn visitors from all over the world.  There are many opportunities for lunch at leisure in the park.

This is your opportunity to enjoy amazing Keukenhof Gardens.
