After visiting the Keukenhof you can rent a bike at Rent-a-Bike van Dam. Cycle through the gate along the red cycle path and turn right. Take the first turning on the right. Follow the signs to Keukenhof Castle (Kasteel Keukenhof). When you arrive you can leave your bike and enjoy a walk around the estate.

Cycle back to the roundabout on the N208 and turn right. To your right you’ll see some beautiful flower fields. Please take care of the flowers: it’s OK to take photos, but please don’t enter the fields. Follow the cycle path to the sports fields, then turn right between the two sports fields. Go straight on along the sports fields. Now continue on the same road for quite a distance, following the bends (Spekkelaan). Take a left on Loosterweg. You’ll see flowers nearly everywhere you look. Keep following the road. Take a left on Johan Speelmanweg until you see a sign for De Tulperij on your right. Cross the road and go along the Oude Herenweg. Follow the signs for De Tulperij. After cycling straight on for a while, you’ll come to De Tulperij on the right.

At the end of the lane, turn right. Then immediately turn left onto Achterweg-Zuid. Follow this road. When the road splits in two, keep to the right, and at the end follow the road round to the right. At the roundabout turn left, the third exit. You are now entering Lisse. Follow the cycle path to the town centre. At the bend, cross over to the other side. When you get to the church, cross over towards the centre of Lisse. Go straight on a little further until you see restaurant De Vier Seizoenen on the left, on a tree-lined square. You can leave your bike here – the next destinations are all within walking distance.

Walk along the alleyway directly opposite De Vier Seizoenen. Museum de Zwarte Tulp is at the end.

Go back to De Vier Seizoenen and take the street on the right. Take the first right into the shopping street. In the distance you’ll see a mural. Walk to the right of the mural – it’s a great photo opportunity! Soon you’ll see Smaakhuis on the right. After exploring the shop, walk back to your bike.

From De Vier Seizoenen, cycle along Heereweg. Go straight on at the junction and continue to the roundabout. Take the third exit. Cycle straight on to the next roundabout and cross over the road on the left-hand side. Immediately after the roundabout, turn right.
