Hillegom is a charming town in the Bollenstreek (bulb region), best known for its beautiful tulip fields in spring. It’s one of the best bases for exploring the Dutch flower region, with easy access to colourful fields, cycling routes, and nearby tulip attractions like Tulip Experience Amsterdam and Keukenhof.

The town itself is quiet and local, making it a great stop if you want a more relaxed, less touristy feel while still being right in the heart of tulip season. Hillegom is especially popular with photographers and content creators thanks to the surrounding countryside and open views of the fields.
