Tulip Season in June
Not the best time
June offers lovely weather but zero tulips. Come for the cycling and canals, not the flowers you missed.

All Months
Mid-April through early May offers peak blooms, but timing shifts yearly based on weather. 2026 predictions point to peak season April 15-May 10, though early varieties bloom from late March. Weekdays mean smaller crowds at Keukenhof and better photo opportunities in the fields. Morning light (8-10am) creates the best colors for photography. Avoid weekends if possible — Dutch families flock to the flowers too. Check the official bloom reports on holland.com before booking flights. Late season (early May) brings fewer crowds but some fields start harvesting. The weather stays unpredictable — pack layers and waterproof gear. Spring in Holland means rain, wind, and sudden sunshine.
