The colourful landscape of the Bollenstreek (flower region) is unique in the world. The blooming daffodils, hyacinths and, of course, tulips attract visitors from all over the world. The flowers do not only bloom in spring. Many colourful flowers can also be admired in summer during the Dahlia Festival. See on our Flower Map whether the bulb fields and show gardens are already blooming. Read our bloom forecast and follow us on Facebook and Instagram for regular updates on the blooming flowers.
How does the Flower Map work?
With the Flower Map below, you can easily see whether the bulb fields in the Netherlands are already in bloom. From the beginning of March until the beginning of May, we update the photos of the flower fields every week. During the tulip season from 20 March to 11 May 2025, you will find the most beautiful flower fields on the Flower Map.
Please note | The flower fields with a green icon are production fields that you are NOT allowed to enter. The flowers and bulbs will break if you enter the field. The flower fields are the grower’s own property. The grower suffers economic losses by breaking the flowers and bulbs. Looking and taking photos at the edge is no problem, but entering the flower field is forbidden! If you want to take photos among the flowers, look at one of the flower attractions, recognisable by the yellow icons.
Cycle route | Bollenstreek Flower Route
The Flower Map shows the Bollenstreek Flower Route. This 35-kilometre cycle route is the ideal way to enjoy spring and summer. Of course, you will pass many flower fields, but you will also see the beautiful dunes and the lovely beach. In summer, the Flower Route makes it easy to cycle past the most beautiful dahlia show gardens.
