Really worth visiting if you love flowers. We went as early as we could and enjoyed the gardens before it was pure madness being overrun with tourists everywhere.

It was also fun to see all the dogs exploring the gardens alongside their owners.

Better to prepare your own food because the cafes and restaurants are just overwhelmed with business from the visiting hordes. We brought some salads and bites from HEMA and enjoyed eating among the flowers!!

Plan your trip well with local transport! We stayed in Leiden and travelled up to Lisse by bus and then went off to Haarlem after that with the same ticket.
