About Lisse
Although you will probably be heading for the Keukenhof when visiting Lisse, the town has a few things to offer beside that famous park. Lisse and the Keukenhof park are located in Zuid-Holland close toHillegomand south ofHaarlem, southwest ofAmsterdam. The Keukenhof is huge, spread over 32 hectares with not only tulips, but also hyacinths, daffodils and other spring flowers on display. With first records mentioning the then village of Lisse in 1198, it has a fairly long history. Consecutive wars caused wide spread poverty in the Middle Ages, and peat harvesting and agricultural activities were the region's main source of income. This changed when the production of flower bulbs gained popularity in the region. The local sandy soils proved very suited for the growth of tulips and other bulb
