We live close-ish to the largest Tulip festival in the world at Keukenhof in the Netherlands. It is an amazing sight to see all the flowers and a must do at least once in Germany.
Keukenhof is not alone though and you can find some great places to visit in Germany. Smaller yet much closer to home.
Here is a list of locations in Germany with their own Tulip festivals and displays to see. There are many amazing tulip fields right here in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW).
The main tulip season starts in late March and lasts until mid-May. Here are seven great spots to visit, including how long it takes to drive there from Sennelager.
