Probably the most famous symbol of The Netherlands, the tulip and other bulb flowers actually only bloom a few weeks each year.
Apart from some parks where bulb flowers grow in greenhouses, the flowers can be admired only a few weeks a year, typically from mid-April to the beginning of May, obviously depending on the weather. I would advise any visitor to take a bicycle, hope for nice weather, and cycle around the bulb areas in the West of the country. Stretches of intensely coloured land, blue, red, white, yellow, purple, pink, all in neat straight lines, sometimes reaching until the horizon. The advantage of going by bicycle is that you enjoy the very pleasant scents coming from the fields. Distances are small, and the country is absolutely flat.
