General
Yes, dogs are welcome along the Tulip Trail, provided they are leashed and do not disturb other visitors. Dogs (and their owners) may walk along the edge of the fields, but certainly not in the tulip fields themselves nor off-leash. In this way, together we ensure that the flowers are not damaged and everyone can continue to enjoy the route.
We understand that some visitors prefer a paper map, especially if they’re used to having one from previous years. However, we’ve decided not to print maps anymore, and there are a few important reasons for that:We begrijpen dat sommige bezoekers graag een papieren kaart willen, zeker als ze dat gewend zijn van eerdere jaren. Toch hebben we ervoor gekozen geen kaarten meer te drukken, en dat heeft een paar belangrijke redenen:
Why no more cards?
- We cannot share current information via a map.
- Printing and distributing cards is expensive, time-consuming and unsustainable. Each year, many unused cards remained.
- Routes sometimes change at the last minute (e.g. due to weather conditions or road works). A printed map is then immediately out of date.
So how do you navigate?
The 2026 edition used the IziTravel app. Through this app you can easily follow the route via your phone and along the way listen to beautiful stories about the landscape, farms and flowers 🌷.
Thank you for your understanding – we’re doing everything we can to make your journey as enjoyable and up-to-date as possible!
Yes you can take public transportation well to the Dronten Cycle Route, the Almere-Zeewolde Cycle Route and the Tulip Art Route (2026 edition, Almere). Look for that on the ‘Our routes’ page
You are a guest in our beautiful Flevoland. We hope you enjoy not only the tulips but also the vast landscape. Always respect the property of residents and growers. NEVER enter the tulip fields, but stay to the side.
Tulpenroute Flevoland is an annual event where visitors can admire the colorful tulip fields in our region during spring. With car routes, bike routes, and walking routes, we attract thousands of visitors to the rural areas of Flevoland. Made possible in part by essential volunteers and valuable sponsors.
It looks like the weekend of April 25 and 26 will be the last weekend of Tulip Route Flevoland. By then, many tulip fields have already been budded – meaning the flowers have been removed from the stems. This decreases the colorful experience of the route.
Still want to see the tulips in their full glory? Then we recommend coming before or during that weekend.

Tulip Art Route
Yes, the Tulip Art Route, this year in Almere, is easily accessible by public transportation. The start is next to Almere Centrum station, on the station square near coffee roastery Lot61.
Tulip art can be seen around the Esplanade, at stores around the Forum and various catering establishments near the Stationsplein in Almere.
Tulip Fields
This is not allowed. A farm is private property. It is not permitted to enter a yard or drive onto a lot path uninvited. Always ask permission from the relevant residents for this. Farms that open their grounds to visitors are identified by a Tulip flag at the roadside.
You should never enter the tulip fields. This is strictly prohibited. You then enter private land belonging to the farmer or grower. In addition, visitors may transfer viruses from one flower to another. This could jeopardize growers’ crops. Taking photos is allowed, but only from the side of the field.
The tulip trails are open from April 8. Usually from then on, the tulip seines can then be admired for three weeks.
The flowering of tulips cannot be controlled. This depends on species, temperature, sun and other weather conditions. Therefore, because last winter was wet and cold for a long time, it may take longer for tulips to bloom. Therefore, we cannot advise at what time most tulips are in bloom.
On the bloom meter on the home page, we provide regular updates on the growth of the tulips just before and during the Tulip Route.
Flevoland is a vast expanse and the trails are dozens of miles long. This means you won’t see tulip fields everywhere along the road, nor at every mile. Sometimes you won’t see any tulips for several miles, and sometimes a field will have been cut down by the end of the Tulip Route period. Tulips are sown all over Flevoland, so during each route you are sure to see many beautiful fields.
The organization looked at routes with an optimal experience of tulip fields for visitors.
Volunteers
Yes! We are preparing throughout the year and are also looking for volunteers for communication, planning and promotion.
No way, not necessarily! Everyone is welcome. For some tasks, knowledge or experience is helpful. We provide good explanation and guidance. Enthusiasm and a friendly attitude are most important.
