The colourful landscape of the Bollenstreek (flower region) is unique in the world. The blooming daffodils, hyacinths and, of course, tulips attract visitors from all over the world. The flowers do not only bloom in spring. Many colourful flowers can also be admired in summer during the Dahlia Festival. See on our Flower Map whether the bulb fields and show gardens are already blooming. Read our bloom forecast and follow us on Facebook and Instagram for regular updates on the blooming flowers.
How does the Flower Map work?
With the Flower Map below, you can easily see whether the bulb fields in the Netherlands are already in bloom. From the beginning of March until the beginning of May, we update the photos of the flower fields every week. During the tulip season from 23 March to 14 May 2023, you will find the most beautiful flower fields on the Flower Map.
Please note that the flower fields with a green icon are NOT allowed to be entered. The flowers and bulbs will be destroyed if you enter the field. Looking at the edge is no problem, but entering the field is strictly forbidden! The fields are the grower’s own property. The grower suffers economic damage because the flowers are broken in these already difficult times. If you want to take photos of the flowers, look at one of the flower attractions, recognisable by their orange icons.

The Flower Map shows the Bollenstreek Flower Route. This 35-kilometre cycle route is the ideal way to enjoy the spring. Of course, you will pass many flower fields, but you will also get to know the beautiful dune area and the lovely beach.
