In spring the Netherlands turns into flower heaven! First the blossom trees and daffodill- and hyacinthfields will start in March and April and after that the tulips in abundance. The best time to see the tulips in bloom is, depending on the weather, between start April until half May, when most flowers are cut.

Most of these fields are located along the Bollenstreek and can be viewed from the road when driving through the small villages around Lisse, Hillegom, Sassenheim, Voorhout, Vogelenzang, de Zilk and Noordwijkerhout.

But for photography in the tulip fields you can best visit the special photography hotspots I also mentioned in this guide. They are all situated near Lisse and you can even take pics here with props already placed in the tulip fields.
