KEUKENHOF, THE NETHERLANDS - APR. 16, 2025: One of the biggest tulip gardens in the world, Keukenhof opened for the 76th time in the Netherlands. Located in the northern city of Lisse, the garden welcomes more than a million Dutch and foreign visitors every year. As tulips have a short life span, the Keukenhof garden is open from March 20 to May 11, with the flowers at their best in April. During this period, a variety of events will also take place, offering a dynamic experience for all visitors. The garden of 32 hectares hosts 40 gardeners, and visitors can also enjoy a walking path of 15 kilometers (9 miles). A group of tulip producers decided to launch a joint exposition in 1949, which led to the opening of Keukenhof in 1950. It is also an international platform where producers show their products. The garden is redesigned every year, inspired by fashion. Although Türkiye is their motherland, tulips are identified with the Netherlands. The flower has an important place in the Dutch economy. Dutch producers grow more than four billion tulips every year, and export almost half of it. (Footage by Abdullah Aşıran /Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
