Tulip Fields features in this Unreal Places episode · real footage, no AI imagery
Netherlands · North and South Holland, Flevoland
Tulip Fields
Not gardens: farms, in giant colour stripes.
Why it looks like this
- The Netherlands grows billions of tulip bulbs a year.
- Growers often cut the flowers off so the bulb grows stronger, so the stripes can vanish almost overnight.
How to actually go
- Cycle the bulb region between Haarlem and Leiden, or drive Flevoland for the biggest fields.
- Stay on paths: the fields are working farms.
Best time: Mid-April to early May.
