5. netherlands During the tulip season
Spring is the season of love but also of the tulips. For centuries the Dutch have revered this fine plant. To see the different varieties and discover the impressive array of colors that deploys the tulip, visit Keukenhof, the largest flower garden in the world. This 32-hectare park hosts seven million bulbs from 600 varieties of tulips, enthroned among other flowers such as daffodils or lilies. The visit of these fields can be done on foot, by bike or by boat.
6 Tokyo during hanami (Japan)
The Japanese are the angels during the short season of hanami (blossoms): plum blossom early in February, and then it was the turn of the peach in March, and cherry trees in late March and early April. In Tokyo, two locations are dedicated to the worship of the flower bud: the Ueno and Yoyogi parks, old barracks turned into public gardens. Yoyogi, the most famous, is a hive at this time of the year. Shinjuku-Gyoen, one of the largest green spaces in the city (58 ha), offers a more serene atmosphere.
Meguro River is also a good place to enjoy this show: it is lined with more than 800 trees that can be seen from Nakameguro Station (they are illuminated at night).
7 London in May (England)
With the first rays of sun, Londoners swap their drab outfits against sequined dresses and eccentric T-shirts. When it starts to get really hot, rather than to seek shade and freshness as you would to the south, many people sunning themselves to improve their complexion. Every square inch of grass of the smallest public garden was stormed at lunchtime. Later in the day, how about a beer in front of the windows with flower boxes pubs. Tunes jubilant music wafting through the open windows and it even happens that you smile in the subway.
