Keukenhof Gardens, just outside Amsterdam, is the world’s largest spring flower garden, featuring over 7 million blooms. From late March to May, it’s a must-see for flower lovers, offering a stunning array of tulips, daffodils, and more. A visit here is a true feast for the eyes.
Our family adventure kicked off in Vianen, where we boarded the Fluvius—our floating home for the week. With e-bikes at the ready, we set out on an 8-day cycling tour, embracing the scenic, mostly flat routes. Even with a little muscle soreness, this was a vacation made for enjoyment, not endurance!
Our Netherlands journey kicked off with a smooth landing in Amsterdam, leading to a stay in Haarlem’s quirky Boutique Hotel Staats. We wandered historic streets, sipped craft beer in converted churches, and road-tripped to Rotterdam and Utrecht—each city offering its own unique charm. Plus, family reunions made it even sweeter!
