Amsterdam Tulip Festival
The tulip has always been closely intertwined with the life of Amsterdam. Once again, this spring you can stroll around and see tulips that have been planted around the city especially for this time of year!
About the Amsterdam Tulip Festival
"A tulip for every citizen of Amsterdam"
The Amsterdam Tulip Festival strives to bring the tulip back to town by planting one bulb for every resident of Amsterdam, which totals 800.000 tulips! For this year's edition, half a million tulips have been planted.
Tulips planted in public locations in Amsterdam
The famous flowers are grown in dazzling rows in the bulb region and displayed in a number of interesting public locations, as well as in gardens outside notable buildings in Amsterdam. Thousands of bulbs were planted last autumn, and these will flower in the spring.
