1 ADMIRE: THE NETHERLANDS' FAMOUS FLOWER GARDEN
Feeling restless at home due to the circuit breaker? Go on a virtual walk around the popular Keukenhof flower garden in the town of Lisse in the Netherlands.
Admire fresh blooms in their prime as the park's gardeners show viewers around Keukenhof and talk about their favourite spots and flowers, such as hyacinths, daffodils and, of course, the tulips for which the Netherlands is famed.
The flower garden's seven million bulbs attract some 1.5 million visitors from more than 100 countries a year during tulip season.
It has been temporarily shut down due to the Dutch government's measures to contain the coronavirus pandemic.
