Below is our list of top destinations in the United States, all taking appropriate precautions during the pandemic, to see and smell the annual rebirth of flowers galore!

Named one of “America’s Prettiest Towns” by Forbes Magazine, Holland (Michigan) goes all out each spring with its annual Tulip Time Festival, a Tulip Time Run,, and multiple Dutch-centric attractions and experiences. Built on the legacy of a strong Dutch history, visitors should also schedule a trip to Holland’s only tulip farm, Veldheer Tulip Gardens, featuring more than 5 million bulbs, and walk the town’s cobblestone streets to take in the millions more tulips that bloom each year.
