Flowering Europe: Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Czech Republic, Scotland

But if the country of the rising sun is too far for you, go to Europe. In this season, it turns into fragrant multi-colored gardens.

Every florist dreams of visiting here, and not only that. In spring, tulips bloom everywhere here, but you can see not only them. For a riot of colors and aromas, go to the town of Lisse. In it, in Kekenhof Park, a flower festival is held every third weekend of April. More than 50 wagons decorated with sculptures made of living plants are presented at the festival.

If it is not possible to attend the event, then come in the second half of the season. During this period, about 7 million planted bulbs bloom, creating a variegated natural carpet of hyacinths and crocuses.

And since April, cherry blossoms start blooming in Amsterdam. The most of them are in the suburb of Amstelveen, in the park Kersenbloesempark. More than 400 trees, donated by the Japanese Women’s Club, grow there. Here you can not only admire the beauty, but also arrange picnics and, of course, photo shoots.

In the capital, also take a look at Josef Israelkade Street, Museum Square and Westerpark – there are many cherry trees planted there, which will be a great background for your photos.

In the period from the end of March to the beginning of April in Paris it is cherry blossom season. The best way to admire them is in the Jardin des Plantes, a botanical garden that has existed since the 17th century. It is very popular among both tourists and local residents. So the best places for a picnic should be reserved in advance.

At the Louvre, in the iconic Tuileries Park, rose trees also grow. And also visit the gardens of Petit Palais and Trocadero. The last location offers a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower.

Spring is the best time for a tour to Andalusia, in the most picturesque corner of the country. In the first two weeks of May in the province of Córdoba, a festival takes place in Spanish patios. Local residents decorate their houses with small pots of plants, competing to see who can do it prettier. In addition, according to the rules of participation, there should be a fountain or another source of water in the yard, a mosaic and lots and lots of fresh flowers. Anyone can look at it.

In the town of Cádiz, take a walk in Grazalema Park, where whole fields of wild orchids, peonies, marigolds, daffodils and snowdrops grow.

If you are no longer surprised by sakura and tulips, but you want something unusual, then go here.

May is the best time to visit Tuscany. During this period, scarlet poppies bloom here, among olive groves and along country roads.

And in Rome, be sure to find the garden of Ninfa to see the flowering of hazelnuts, bamboo, bananas, cypresses and hybrid musk roses. Where else can you see such a connection?

In this country, the cherry blossoms are more serious than those in the European Union. In Copenhagen, they even organize a two-day Japanese-style festival.

This year it will be held in Langelinie Park. About 200 powder rose trees are planted here. Entrance to the event is free. Here you can enjoy a tea ceremony, enjoy sushi, mochi and other dishes, as well as take part in master classes.

This state has special relations with Japan. In 1998, the country of the rising sun presented several botanical plants to King Carl XVI Gustaf. They were placed in the Kungsträdgården garden, which every April becomes the center of the cherry blossom festival.

At the festival, as well as at neighbors from Denmark, tourists can also expect a fair with goodies and thematic events, including martial arts shows.

Prague is one of the most accessible capitals of Europe all year round, and in the spring it is also one of the most beautiful. Cherry blossoms can be seen here in many areas of the city.

To begin with, go up to Petrshin Hill, planted with snow-white and pink trees. Going down, closer to the Vltava, go to the island of Kampa. He will delight with a riot of cherries.

The most popular place to admire sakura is Prague Castle. The castle is surrounded by gardens full of blooming botanical plants.

And if you have time, stop by Karlovy Vary. In addition to the beautiful architecture and thermal springs, you can also watch the rain from white and pink petals here in the spring.

If your vacation falls only at the end of May, then do not be upset, but go to Edinburgh. Since it is cooler here than in most of Europe, flowering begins later.

First, visit Meadows Park, the paths of which are planted with cherry trees. By the way, a magnificent view of Arthur’s Throne Hill opens from here.

And then go to the Kyoto Friendship Garden. Here grows the most authentic sakura in all of Scotland. And if without too much modesty – even in the whole of Great Britain! The Japanese city is twinned with Edinburgh, so it presented one of its symbols as a sign of good relations. The park is located on the territory of Lauriston Castle.
