Keukenhof is very famous for its beauty and uniqueness I have heard a lot about it, one of my friend is pursuing his studies from home science right now and once he told me that we will be going to Netherlands for visiting this place, but we could not make it due to our rejection for the Netherlands visa, but now we have got all the documents and we will be soon travelling to Netherlands.
