The country in Europe that is most famous for its tulips is the Netherlands. The flower has been associated with the country for centuries and is a symbol of the Dutch culture. Tulips were originally cultivated in the Ottoman Empire (present-day Turkey) and were imported to the Netherlands in the sixteenth century. Today, the Netherlands is one of the largest exporters of tulip bulbs and flowers in the world.

The Dutch celebrate the tulip with an annual flower festival, which is called 'Keukenhof' and takes place in Lisse, South Holland. During this festival, millions of tulips and other flowers are displayed in a beautiful park. The festival attracts millions of visitors from all over the world every year.
