Keukenhof & The Hague, May 8 2010
Keukenhof, also known as the Garden of Europe is the world's largest flower garden. According to their official website, there are approximately 7,000,000 (seven million) flower bulbs planted annually at the park. The flower garden was the idea in 1949 of the then-mayor of Lisse, a small town south of Amsterdam. The idea was to have a flower exhibit where growers from all over the Netherlands and Europe could show off their hybrids, contributing to the image of the Netherlands as it is the world's largest exporter of flowers. Keukenhof has been the world's largest flower garden for over fifty years.
The Hague is the actual seat of government, but not the official capital of the Netherlands, which is Amsterdam. Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands lives and works in The Hague. All foreign embassies and government ministries are located in the city, as well as the Supreme Court and many lobbying organisations. The city also offers a rich history and many historical buildings to see and visit.
