Keukenhof Gardens usually opens in mid-March and closes in mid-May. So, there’s a very small window of opportunity to visit the garden. If you want to see the tulips at their most beautiful, try to book your Keukenhof tickets for the last week of April or the first week of May. Most of the tulips are in full bloom during this time; but you should be aware that most visitors are aware of this, too. So, you can expect crowds.
If you’d like to take the bus, take the 858 bus from Schiphol Airport and you’ll arrive in about 30 minutes. Consider picking up the combo ticket, which will save you a little money on round-trip transportation. If you are coming from Leiden or Haarlem, then take the 854 or 50 Bus, respectively. The most luxurious way of getting to Keukenhof is by taxi, which could cost upwards of 100 Euros. Taking a bicycle is a nice way to see the countryside. Finally, you can drive from Amsterdam to Keukenhof by taking the A4 South to N207 North and turning left on N208. At the traffic circle, take the first exit, which is Zwartelaan, and drive about a kilometre before turning left on Loosterweg Noord, which dead-ends at the garden.
Keukenhof Gardens is open every day from 8 am to 7:30 pm, including Easter weekend and King’s Day.
