To experience warm sunshine married with the vibrant colours of thousands of flowers blossoming, we recommend a trip to Holland or Belgium. The cit y of Amsterdam is synonymous with tulips, and in spring, the cit y's surrounding landscapes are transformed into a sea of colour. Ever y year, from March until May, colour ful blooms adorn the cit y's outdoor spaces; notable buildings are dressed in a variet y of floral designs; and the sof t scent of tulips fills the air of pedestrian walk ways.

Depar tures during spring tulip season complement your itinerar y's regular highlights such as the windmills of Kinderdijk, traversing the scenic canals and bridges of Amsterdam or walking the old-world streets of Brussels with its cobblestone streets and squares.
