The Dutch tulip season officially gets underway in January every year as the National Tulip Day comes to town! Head to Dam Square on Saturday, to pick your own tulip from a specially constructed ‘picking garden’.

And when spring has truly sprung, the Amsterdam Tulip Days arrive to provide visitors with a glimpse of the blooms in their natural habitat. The event offers access to 15 beautiful tulip-filled gardens – the majority of them usually closed to the public.
