The best spot on the planet to tiptoe through the tulips is in full bloom this month at the Keukenhof Gardens in the Netherlands.
Some 7 million flowers -- many of them tulips -- turn this 80-acre field into a sea of color each spring. The gardens, outside the Dutch town of Lisse, are only open from March 22 to May 20 this year. Keukenhof makes for a good day trip from Amsterdam. Tickets to the gardens cost about $17 for adults, $8 for children.
