1. Keukenhof – Lisse (Netherlands)<\/h2>\n

The Keukenhof<\/a> is a large flower park in the Netherlands that attracts more than a million visitors every year. It traditionally opens its doors in spring, after which it only remains open for a few weeks. During this time, the carefully landscaped flower fields are transformed into a colourful world. After the long winter months, the Keukenhof is the perfect place to enjoy the first sunny days.<\/p>\n

This year, too, the Keukenhof welcomes spring in all its beauty. And you can enjoy it at home! Videos<\/a> are regularly uploaded in which you can admire the many crocuses, daffodils, tulips, hyacinths and lilies. Unfortunately, you can’t smell the fragrances this year.<\/p>\n
