Keukenhof is only open for about eight weeks a year, and in 2027 it will be from 18 March to 9 May. It is the spring day trip from Amsterdam, but also the most crowded. This plan plays with the timetable: go in at 8:00, when it opens, see the park before the coaches arrive and spend the afternoon in Haarlem, which is on the way back and where almost nobody who visits Keukenhof stops.

## The day, hour by hour

7:15 · Departure. From Amsterdam, train to Haarlem or Schiphol and a seasonal bus to Keukenhof, or by car: about 40 minutes. The bus and ticket combinations change every year; check them on the park's website.

8:00 · Keukenhof. Enter with the first time slot, booked online (from €21). Tour the areas furthest from the entrance and the flower pavilions first, and go out to see the surrounding bulb fields if you have a bike or car.

Midday · On to Haarlem. About 20 kilometres north, by car or on the seasonal bus.

13:30 · Lunch at the Jopenkerk. Brewery and kitchen inside a former church.

15:00 · St Bavo's and the Grote Markt. The great church on the main square (€4; closed on Sundays).

16:00 · De Adriaan windmill. Climb to the gallery over the Spaarne.

17:30 · Return. Train from Haarlem to Amsterdam Centraal, about 15 minutes.

## With children or in the rain

Keukenhof is flat and spacious, good for pushchairs; with children, leave Haarlem for a short boat trip. If it rains, the flower pavilions are covered, but the day looks much less bright: if you can, choose the date by the forecast.
