Website | EmailThe Netherlands is known for wooden shoes, windmills and...flowers! That's right, tulips to be more precise. So, a trip to this fair country isn't complete before visiting the largest garden in the world. This "kitchen garden" is the former estate of a 15th-century countess. Today, more than 7 million flowers are on display here, and during particularly cold winters, some 5,000 square meters of greenhouses are built to house flowers indoors. There are also several restaurants. To get here, take a train from Amsterdam to Leiden, and then go to the bus station next door and catch bus number 54 (departing every half hour) to the Keukenhof. The bus trip is about 30 minutes long.
