This is a wonderful garden that opens every year from late March to May, which houses one of the world's largest collections of tulips. From the station take a train to Amsterdam and Leiden Leiden station take bus no. 54. It is a bit jolting sides' but in the end a 15-minute trip (one hour in total) to get to the park. Coming back there's a big crowd for the bus ... sounds like a winter morning at a bus stop in Rome at 7.30 am. It is not a good scene because the jostling when you are on vacation truly hassle and damage are smarter than the Italians, even to say ...
The line for entry to the park is really long! There is a crazy crowd and of course also read the statistics: several million visitors for the opening few weeks ... I see there is a row with a € 18 ticket for entry.
The gardens are really beautiful. Flowers and especially tulips of all kinds and colors, mostly well kept, always very nice and well kept. Everything is really perfect do thousands of photographs. Obviously there are numerous kiosks and restaurants to eat, there's also a chance to ride a boat along a canal to admire the cultivation of flowers (but the queue was too long and the ride really expensive). In addition there is the possibility of buying the bulbs. Are complete: you can buy the bulbs from a catalog and then we will send you home products, just before planting. I'm really hyper organized. You must make a minimum purchase of 40 € (if I remember correctly) but in the end you can also let go because they are equipped to purchase online from the comfort of your couch.
If you are tempted to purchase individual bulbs, then you have to go shopping in Amsterdam because the park are not sold.
