5Keukenhof, Lisse, Netherlands

In contrast to the elaborate gardens that surround Renaissance-era castles and the world-renowned water lilies at Monet’s home in Giverny, Keukenhof is a more modern European garden, established to showcase the beauty of Dutch bulbs.

A guild of growers planted acres of tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, and other flowers on the grounds surrounding Castle Keukenhof and opened it to the public for the first time in the spring of 1950.
