The Dutch are renowned for their tulips. Each year thousands of tourists flock to the fields of Flevoland and the gardens of Keukenhof to admire the multicoloured blooms.
Tulip season is coming into full bloom, beginning in March and blossoming around mid-April. In normal times, we’d encourage you to experience Dutch tulips first-hand.
But of course, these aren’t normal times.
In line with coronavirus regulations, it’s important to remain at home and avoid crowds. For this reason fields are likely not accepting visitors.
Instead, we thought we’d brighten your day by sharing our favourite photographs from some very talented photographers across the internet.
We’ve teamed up with Kire Hajba, ArdenNL, Aleksandria Rudenko and Erik Krugers to share these photographs of past tulip seasons with you.
