Every year in April parts of the Netherlands turn into colorful tulip fields. Different kinds of tulips bloom in different parts of the month. Starting from March until May. If you want to be sure of a nice colorful view go in mid-April. There are different routes to drive to follow the tulip fields. Some of the fields you can go to take pictures, others you cant. There are even some special plucking fields :) #theNetherlands #colorful
