Timing is everything. Use these general notes to shape a flexible window.

Period	What you’ll see	Where to go
Late March	Daffodils + hyacinths, early tulips	Near Lisse windmill
Early April	Rich hyacinths + rising tulips	Noordwijkerhout edges
Mid–Late April	Peak tulip bloom	Lisse canal and field loops
Early May	Late bloomers, mixed fields	Hillegom long horizons

Tip: field rotations vary. If a spot looks green, loop 2–3 km and you’ll find color.

Vantage points

Pick a window with flexibility and scout nearby lanes — color is always close.

I put this guide together to make your tulip‑season day simple, insightful, and full of local tips — from gardens to canals to countryside.
