Subjects : Of course, those who come to Keukenhof is for flowers and for its tulips. Keukenhof is in fact a floral park covers about 32 hectares and is usually open to the public from mid-March to mid-May. Offers a great variety of tulips from the different colors, but in the long run can be boring due to the fact that they are all very similar. Other plant species in the park are mainly hyacinths and daffodils. From the point of view birdlife is not recommended given the massive presence of tourists (although walking in the park you can hear some woodpeckers do its dirty work).

Recommended equipment : Definitely a macro lens for pictures with flowers, plus a wide / ultra wide angle for landscapes and telephoto (200 mm) in some detail.

Best months : The opening period of the park varies from year to year (in terms of exact dates), in each case roughly dallla is open mid-March to mid-May. The best time is from mid-April to the end of April and corresponds with the period of flowering tulips

How to get there : By car: really close to Amsterdam Schiphol International Airport, the park is accessible from the latter in about 20 minutes. From the center of Amsterdam it takes half an hour (depending on traffic) By bus: during the opening of the park there are special lines that depart from Schiphol to Leiden and The Hague. For more information please see the link by train from Leiden Central Station, during the opening period, there is a bus that takes you directly to the park.

Visits : The park opens at 8 am and closes at 19.30. The ticket to enter costs 14.5 euro to park the car while it takes 6 €. All in all I think a figure slightly exaggerated, also considering the monotony of species (tulips, hyacinths, daffodils mainly). Better show up early in the morning, because in the 10 turns out to be a lot affollatto (especially on weekends)

Notes : A little note to be made about the fact that you can not walk in the meadows (not all), especially in places photographic interesting, and this limits in some cases, the composition or do not allow at all. Do not forget to take a walk around the park, during the flowering period, are represented by fields brightly colored.
