Netherlands public transportation from Aalsmere to Keukenhof garden

Can anyone tell me how to get from the flower auction in Aalsmere directly to the Keukenhof garden by bus or train ? I've seen info on how to get to each of these places from Amsterdam. I plan to go to Aalsmere very early in the morning from Amsterdam, continue on to Keukenhof, before returning to Ams . Thanks much.

Have a look at http://9292.nl/en#.

Note that it is Aalsmeer not Aalsmere.

Have a look to see if going via Schiphol and getting the Keukenhof bus from there is quicker/easier too.

Thank you very much, but looks very complicated. That route does go to Schipol with 2 bus transfer before another bus to Keukenhof in Lisse.

We went to Kukenhof at this time two years ago, departing from Amsterdam. The bus takes you to Schipol, where you wait for another bus to Kukenhof. I have to admit, it was a real pain (long wait, and standing on the bus both directions, as they were quite full). While the flowers were lovely, I much preferred our next day's train trip to the Enkhuisen Zuiderzee Museum (it takes about 45 minutes, I think). http://www.zuiderzeemuseum.nl/en/673/visit/fotogalerie/

This is an open air folk museum, made up of a collection of buildings from all around the Zuiderzee. There was a relaxed village atmosphere, with sheep grazing and some people showing how things were made in ages past - making rope, smoking fish, etc. I was intrigued with the cupboard beds in one of the houses, such a tiny bed for two with a cradle built in at the foot of the bed.

Sorry if I digress from your original question, just wanted to let you know about an alternative if you're interested. Whatever you do, it will be great - the flowers all over are beautiful.

banares, yes it is complicated. They are quite away apart and so not on a single busline. It may be easier, if you have the time, to do Keukenhof another day.

Thank you both. We will do Keukenhof another day. And we will also visit Enkhuisen Zuiderzee Museun.
