Is there a bus from Schiphol to Keukenhof in 2027?
Not a public one: Qbuzz, which runs the KeukenhofBuzz lines, has said works at Schiphol rule out departures from the airport for two years, so bus 858 did not run in 2026 and will not in 2027, whatever older guides still say. A Keukenhof shuttle runs from Schiphol a few times a day instead, booked online only with entry included, or you take a train or bus to Hoofddorp for KeukenhofBuzz line 859. By car it is 21 km, about 26 minutes, roughly €72 in Business Class.

Related questions
Does bus 858 still run from Schiphol to Keukenhof?
No. Bus 858 was the public KeukenhofBuzz line from the airport; Qbuzz stopped departures from Schiphol for two years because of construction there, and the regional tourism site confirms it will not run in 2027.
Can I take the Keukenhof shuttle with a suitcase?
The shuttle’s own information says luggage is allowed, and Keukenhof has storage where you can leave it during the visit. Seats are limited and must be booked online in advance; the shuttle is only partly suitable for wheelchair users, as it has no lift or ramp.
How long does the drive from Schiphol to Keukenhof take?
About 26 minutes for 21 km on a clear road. On spring weekends the last stretch into Lisse is the slow part, so plan a margin for your arrival time.
Can I go to Keukenhof straight after landing?
Yes, with planning: allow one to two hours for passport control if you are not from the EU, then the drive, and choose an arrival time well after landing; last entry is 6:15pm. See Schiphol to Keukenhof with luggage.
