These photos of Amsterdam's tulips will make you want to visit next spring

Spring is arguably the best time to visit Amsterdam, when the tulips are in full bloom and you can discover the symbol of Holland on a delightful Amsterdam mini-cruise.

It's the season to visit world-famous garden Keukenhof, in nearby Lisse, where a sea of colourful tulips take over the garden for just a few weeks each year.

While things are looking different this year and we're unable to travel due to Covid restrictions, now is the perfect time to be inspired for a spring 2022 escape when we can head to Amsterdam and soak up the seasonal vibes.

During an Amsterdam mini-cruise in spring, you can visit the city's flower market, housed on a series of boats and offering a floating floral paradise in the city. You can also pick up tulip bulbs, which you can plant in the autumn ready for a beautiful display in spring.

An Amsterdam mini-cruise offers an excellent opportunity to take in the colourful tulips and see Holland in all its glory, as you go beyond Amsterdam to other parts of the country by boat. Hoorn and Harlingen are two often-overlooked places in the Netherlands that you can visit on an Amsterdam mini-cruise.
