Keukenhof Gardens

Keukenhof Gardens near Amsterdam is a beautiful flower park near Amsterdam in Holland. Visiting the tulip park is the best way for welcoming spring in 2019.

Every year more than 7 million flower bulbs are planted in autumn to bloom in spring. There is a variety of 800 different tulips. A unique and unforgettable experience for everyone.

Tulip Festival

The tulip is one of the most enduring symbols of the Netherlands and Amsterdam. Despite their fame, it takes a bit more effort to track down tulips in the streets and gardens of Amsterdam nowadays. But there can never be enough tulips, and so, each spring, the festival celebrates the famous flower and ensures it blooms all over Amsterdam. All through the first half of April, more than 500,000 colourful and occasionally rare tulips can be seen in the gardens of museums, private homes and other city institutions.

Imagine Film Festival

Over the years, the Imagine Film Festival has evolved and matured into what it is today: an international film festival screening an all-encompassing selection of imaginative films. While the festival still screens the very best international horror releases, it has broadened its taste to include fantasy, cult, animé and science fiction.

King's Day

King's Day is a national holiday in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Celebrated on 27 April, the date marks the birth of King Willem-Alexander. Amsterdam colors orange on King's Day. The city offers the best outdoor festivities for young and old, on the street, the canals and in the parks. With live performances, festivals and the many free markets, King's day is the biggest street party of the year.

Liberation Day

On 5 May, all of the Netherlands will pause to commemorate the country’s liberation. The German army surrendered on this day in 1945, bringing the Second World War to an end for the Netherlands. Since then, the Netherlands has strived to be the capital of freedom, independence and tolerance. To celebrate its continual liberation and societal freedoms, various activities and events are planned throughout the city.

Rolling Kitchens

During the (long) holiday weekend around Ascension Day each spring, dozens of mobile kitchens and food trucks descend upon this culinary festival at the Westergasfabriek in the west of Amsterdam, to create an enormous open air restaurant! At Rolling Kitchens there is food to suit every appetite on the menu, with everything from fresh Italian pizza to sophisticated seafood and Dutch delicacies.
