Keukenhof tickets

Keukenhof works with timed online tickets. Booking ahead guarantees entry, saves queuing at the gate and is usually cheaper than buying on the day — especially with a combi-ticket that includes the bus from Leiden.

Which ticket should you choose?

  • Entry-only ticket: best if you are driving or cycling to Lisse.

  • Tickets are digital — save them to your phone before you travel.
  • Most partners allow free cancellation up to 24 hours before your visit; check the terms at checkout.
