Best places to watch Cherry blossoms in the Netherlands
Netherlands is madly in love with cherry blossoms. You can find cherry blossom trees pretty much everywhere in the country! Come out of your house - 90% probability you'll bump into a blossoming tree. If not - go around the corner or check the next street!
Kersenbloesempark (Cherry Blossom Park)
The ultimate place for cherryblossoms in the Netherlands is Kersenbloesempark (Cherry Blossom Park). It is located in Amstelveen, which is so close to Amsterdam that locals consider it to be a part of the city.
Thanks to Japan Women's society gifting 400 sakuras to the Netherlands back in 2000, we can now celebrate one of the finest cherry blossom festivals in the world.
Kersenbloesempark is recognised as the BEST cherry blossom park of Europe! Can you imagine its beauty! It is definitely the place to visit to get the most and the fullest flower-blooming experience in Europe, and, of course, in the Netherlands:)
Westerpark
Another gorgeous place to admire cherry blossoms in Amsterdam. Here, you can enjoy a lovely afternoon with your friends or family having a great time at a picnic under "the rain of blossom."
Spring is also the time to start BBQ season - with Westerpark being the central meeting point for friends getting around from all the metropolitan neighbourhoods! Grab your blanket, picnic basket with BBQ and get the best camera because you won't be able to resist taking pictures.
Museumplein (Museum Square)
Museumplein is another stunning location to visit if you're into cherry blossom fun. Combine Spring festival celebration with immersing into the world of arts & culture.
