Amsterdam for the Spring Tulips
The Keukenhof is coming and you can save a Euro or two by buying your tickets directly from the vendor, Ticketbar. If you are going to be anywhere near Holland this Spring you should do yourself a favor and look into a visit to the worlds biggest tulip festival, the Keukenhof. The event this year runs from March 22, 2018 to May 13, 2018. Amsterdam is a beautiful city in the Spring, full of youthful energy and very walkable. Getting to the Keukenhof is easy as round-trip buses leave from Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport all day long and there are excellent train connections to and from Schiphol and Amsterdam Centraal station.
To travel around Amsterdam and beyond, buy the public transport chip card (OV-chipkaart) good for travel on trams, buses and metros. The most convenient option for visitors is the day card (valid for one to seven days and starting from €7.50). One-hour tickets can also be bought from the conductor or driver on the tram or bus. Day tickets can be bought on the tram or purchased in advance at ticket offices.
