Keukenhof gardens
Keukenhof gardens
The Keukenhof gardens are during the flowering period (end march to mid may) one of the most visited sites of the Netherlands and rightfully so. The gardens are one of the most beautiful in the world and filled with millions of flowers. The Keukenhof gardens are located on the edge of the little town of Lisse, but are easily doable as a day trip from one of the nearby cities like Amsterdam, Rotterdam or the Hague. Try to get here early because this place can get very busy once the tour busses arrive.

Boutique Suites Lisse (medium range hotel)
Boutique Suites Lisse is just a short walk from the famous Keukenhof gardens. The rooms are modern and spacious, with comfy beds and handy kitchenettes. I loved the stylish decor and how clean everything was kept.
The location can't be beat if you're in town to see the tulips. It's super close to restaurants and shops too. The staff were friendly and helpful with local tips. Just keep in mind it can get a bit noisy at night from the nearby bars, so light sleepers might want earplugs.
All in all, it's a great home base for exploring the area. The free parking is a nice perk, and the breakfast looked tasty (though I didn't try it myself). For the price, you get a lot of space and amenities compared to other options nearby.
