Holland bulb fields

[Icimoi]

We fancy a long weekend including going to Keukenhof. Does anyone have any recommendations for packages? We wouldn't want a cruise, and would prefer to travel by train or plane.

I can highly recommend this little hotel in Leiden. You can easily get the bus to the Keukenhof from there. Plus it is 30 mins on the train to Amsterdam/airport. Leiden itself is lovely - lots of squares and terraces and you can do canal trips on the river. Lots of bars, restaurants and cafes. You could take Eurostar to Brussels and then train (need to change at Rotterdam I think) or fly into Amsterdam/Eindhoven.

Can I recommend hiring a bike outside Keukenhof and touring the big bulb fields as well as the formal gardens. They give you route maps too, and have kids bikes.

Many thanks, Porto and Suttonmum.
