Option 1)

Meet Van Gogh in the famous flower park ”Keukenhof” in Lisse (until 17th of May) where you can smell and admire his amazing self-portrait made of thousands of tulips. Enjoy other spectacular flower shows as well and do not forget to visit the Selfie garden. 

 

Option 2)

Hollandbreak will bring you to another part of the country. We get out of the city and bring you to the National park in the west of Holland where the van Gogh gallery is situated.  This gallery is part of the Kröller-Müller Museum that has the second-largest collection of Van Gogh works in the world. The variable arrangements of about forty of his paintings tell the story of his life and work.

 

After this visit you may explore the surrounding area by bicycle or visit “Paleis het Loo”, a palace dating back more than three hundred years.
