Two highlights of Dutch spring in one day. Admire the passing floats from a reserved grandstand seat and then visit the colourful gardens of Keukenhof. During the parade, you see how flowers together create impressive shapes and scenes. At Keukenhof, you then stroll among the flower beds yourself and discover the gardens and flower shows at your own pace. A complete spring day for anyone who wants to enjoy flowers to the full.
Walking among the flowers by day, enjoying illuminated floats in the evening. This combination gives you two very different flower experiences in one day. After your visit to Keukenhof, you travel to Noordwijkerhout. As soon as it gets dark, the lighting gives the floats a special character. From your grandstand seat, you enjoy the parade and the festive evening atmosphere. An atmospheric choice for anyone who wants to experience Dutch spring after sunset too.
See the floats up close and discover how refined the details are. On this tour, you visit the floats on display in Haarlem: a great opportunity to look around at leisure and take photos. Combine the floral art with the atmosphere of the historic city and a visit to Keukenhof. There, a completely different palette awaits, with blooming gardens and surprising flower combinations. Ideal for anyone who likes to admire the floats at length and discover more in one day.
From floral art to the story behind the tulips. On this tour, you admire the flower parade from a reserved grandstand seat and visit a tulip farm. Discover how spring is prepared at the nursery and learn about the work behind the flowers that make the Netherlands so famous. A lovely combination of watching, experiencing and learning more. For anyone who not only wants to enjoy flowers, but is also curious about how they are grown.
Do you mainly want to experience the parade? Then choose this half-day tour to Hillegom. You travel comfortably from Amsterdam and take your seat in the grandstand to watch the floats pass by. A portion of Dutch fries completes the outing. Watching together, enjoying the music and being surprised by every new float: sometimes that is all you need for a lovely afternoon. An accessible choice with the parade as the shining centrepiece.
Huge figures, surprising movements and impressive scenes, all built from dahlias. In Zundert, floral art takes on a character all of its own. You travel by coach to the event and watch the parade from a reserved grandstand seat. Every float brings new details to discover and shows how much creativity and craftsmanship go into the parade. A spectacular day for lovers of flowers, art and special events.
The parade weekend offers different ways to admire the floats:
Each tour has its own programme and departure date. When booking, check which experience belongs to your package.
A comfortable journey and a good spot at the event make your day extra enjoyable. That is why reserved grandstand seats are included on several Flower Parade Tours. That way you do not have to look for a standing spot along the route early yourself. You take your seat and look forward to the first float to appear. Check whether a grandstand seat is included on your chosen tour. The Haarlem tour focuses on the floats on display and therefore offers a different experience from watching the moving parade.
The music comes closer, the first float appears and people around you react in surprise to what they see. That is the moment when a flower parade becomes more than a pretty picture. Browse our Flower Parade Tours, choose your favourite package and book your place at this special flower festival.
