**Springtime brings fields of tulips to this tiny border town. See the gorgeous flowers for yourself at this flower power haven. **

Sadly, due to people picking the beautiful tulips, this activity cannot be visited anymore. Please respect the farmers' livelihood and do not visit.

Forget lining up to enter into a touristy flower garden. Instead, travel out to the beautiful tulip fields of Meerdonk. Not only do Belgium and Holland share a language, they also share much of their history, culture, natural landscapes and climate. So much so that you don’t have to rely on a limited choice of locations to see some beautiful fields of tulips nor do you have to join the crowded line to pay to see them either.

• Tulip fields can be found in Meerdonk, a small village not well-known and not even well documented on social media yet. Dutch farmers rent these fields to plant their bulbs and in the meantime, this small town gets a new picture-esque look and feel to it.
• The nearby small town has an ice cream shop called Ijshoeve De Boey where you can get pancakes, freshly baked Brussels waffles and of course tasty ice cream. It also has a playground and picnic benches to make a family outing as entertaining for young ones as it is picture-esque for all.
• Mostly only locals know about this location so it is not as crowded as paid for businesses offering this experience.
• Support your local: be respectful of the fields and support your local farmers; don’t pick the tulips and be mindful of your step.
