Revisiting Keukenhof: A Springtime Flower Journey in 2025

April in the Netherlands carries the scent of flowers and the warmth of sunshine in the air. In the spring of 2025, I embarked on another journey to Keukenhof. My first visit two years ago remains vivid in my memory, and this return is both a nostalgic revisit and a new exploration. Keukenhof, known as the "Garden of Europe," is as breathtakingly beautiful as ever. A train and shuttle bus ride from Amsterdam takes less than an hour to reach this floral paradise. The gentle spring sunlight bathes the vast flower fields, where tulips, hyacinths, and daffodils bloom in vibrant colors, resembling a living oil painting. This year, the garden introduced several new themed flower exhibitions, one of which was titled "The Language of Flowers and Emotions." It cleverly combined colors with feelings, allowing me to appreciate not only the flowers but also the thoughtful design and emotional expression behind them. The tranquil lakes and shaded pathways remain serene spots where visitors can pause amidst the crowd and quietly connect with nature. The most unforgettable sight is the iconic tulip corridor that seems to stretch endlessly. Red, yellow, pink, purple—every step reveals a delightful surprise. I couldn't resist capturing these stunning scenes repeatedly, while silently recording my emotions at the moment. Revisiting Keukenhof is not just about admiring flowers; it is also a journey of the soul. Time has passed, and I have grown, but the ability to be moved by beauty remains unchanged.
