Versailles, France
It's hard not to start with perhaps the most famous and one of the largest European gardens. Versailles is the quintessence of courtly care for a beautiful green area surrounding the most important state residences. The French garden is characterized by an order that is admirable - the alleys turn into endless trails where you can admire neatly trimmed trees and rarely encountered species of flora. The French garden is the highest level of horticultural art, which will certainly amaze even the most fickle tourist.
Kew Gardens, London
Kew Gardens, in turn, are impressive English gardens, which also originate from royal tradition. They are enchanting at any time of year, but of course in spring they are considered the most beautiful gardens. An online gallery of photos shows us a diverse vegetation in full bloom, greenhouses containing exotic trees and plants, and perfect alleys that encourage long walks. There are many paths in the garden and it's hard to decide which one to follow. The good news is that each of them is surrounded by equally beautiful natural scenery. English gardens are definitely one of the must-see points during a trip to London.
Keukenhof Gardens in Lisse, Netherlands
The Netherlands is the capital of tulips, so if we are looking at the most beautiful gardens in the world in spring, one of the most stunning - the Keukenhof garden - cannot be missed. The kitchen garden, as its name translates, is 32 hectares and over 7 million flowers, among which tulips, crocuses, hyacinths and daffodils reign. The color spectacle of the alleys, where you can not only walk but also cycle, is a perfect example that beautiful gardens can be a great way to spend free time in a foreign city. Not only buildings and museums are worth visiting - the most beautiful gardens, flower galleries, and green surroundings of the alleys are also a great way to spend a vacation.
Botanical Garden in Padua
Although the Botanical Garden in Padua differs from the picturesque Dutch gardens, its history and ubiquitous greenery effectively encourage a walk among the Renaissance walls of the garden. This one in Padua was established in 1545 for students of the oldest university in the world, which is located in Padua itself. The garden combines a Renaissance spirit of architecture and exoticism, introduced by such trees as palms and citrus trees. It is one of the oldest botanical gardens in Europe, so it is worth visiting it when you are near Padua.
Claude Monet's Gardens, Giverny, France
The beautiful paintings of Monet are probably the best proof that the gardens in Giverny are the most beautiful garden in the world. There is the picturesque diversity of blooming, the famous pond with water lilies, the weeping willow bending over the water, and the space and charming alleys. These beautiful gardens will enchant everyone who comes to Giverny, just as they enchant everyone who looks at Claude Monet's paintings.
