Keukenhof, a Paradise of Flowers in the Netherlands

Shykh Seraj visits Keukenhof, the world's second-largest flower garden, where tulips in thousands of colours tell a 400-year story of trade and beauty.

Keukenhof in the Netherlands is the world's second-largest flower garden. This kingdom of heavenly beauty is open to tourists from around the world for two months a year, and it is unique in the history of trade and industry too. The report was filmed in 2015.

A tulip paradise


The Dutch are known for their refinement and love of beauty. Tulips blooming to the horizon tell you the country's name. Keukenhof is a paradise decorated with tulips in thousands of colours, where flowers seem to speak to people from all over the world in their own pure language.

Four centuries of the tulip


The tulip alone carries almost four hundred years of history. It travelled from China via Austria, won the hearts of kings who loved beauty and settled in the Netherlands.
