Spring
sun makes flowers bloom everywhere, but most beautifully in
England and Holland, although there is no event as difficult
to judge as the correct time for a blooming celebration.
Quickly is the marvellous splendour past, and nothing is more hopeless than a field of wilting flowers. Nevertheless, whether you are an enthusiastic of tulips, narcissuses or roses, rest assured that, at the right time, they will bloom - and you find the correct periods on our web site. England proves indeed, every year, with the Chelsea Flower and the Kew Garden Shows, that with the right care and devotion all flowers can be brought to bloom correctly. The tulip season in the park of Keukenhof in the Netherlands, and the joyful “Fête du Citron” in Menton, are equally as spectacular as their English counterparts, and just as convincing with their splendid colours which awaken a Spring feeling in everyone’s hearts.
You will have chosen the right time, in any case, if you choose to drive to the summer solstice, on 23 June - the Midsummer celebration - which takes place throughout the whole of Europe. Celebrate Midsummer in Scandinavia – it will be an unforgettable experience! In this guide you will find some of the largest and most beautiful solstice celebrations that exist.

"As a European I welcome the publication of this Top 500 Events guide. It's really much more. It's an encyclopaedia of regional traditions and customs in Europe , and a valuable journey planner for every European citizen. It will be my vademecum on trips throughout Europe in future.
I hope that you too will derive plenty of enjoyment from the guide, and that it will help to bring Europe still a little closer together."
