If you have traveled the Netherlands, at the time the flowers are blooming, please tell me the time you recommend to see the tulips. We'll be in The Netherlands and Germand from mid April till May 6.

Middle of April Keukenkof is a must see. On the third weekend in April there is a flower parade in Haarlem. All the floats are made from flowers. There is also a flower show this year in Venlo. I would recommend you start your trip in the Netherlands.

I'd agree. Netherlands first, then Germand. If you can catch the bluemencorso - the flower parade - it is a lot of fun. Very busy in Haarlem for the viewing aftaerwards but not bad to rock up and view a bit further down the line - somewhere like Leiderdorp.

I want to second the notion of going to Keukenhof. I went years ago in April. It was rainy and still beautiful! Pam
