Zundert, Netherlands
If you love flowers, history, and a touch of light adventure – but preferably not all at once – this colourful Dutch getaway is tailor-made for you. We’re heading to the southern Netherlands for one of Europe’s most spectacular floral events: the Zundert Flower Parade (or Bloemencorso Zundert if you’re feeling fancy). Picture towering floats made entirely from dahlias, live music, street performers, and enough cheerful colour to make your garden back home blush.
You’ll be staying in the relaxed town of Asten, perfectly placed for exploring the region and putting your feet up after each delightful day. This tour combines blooming artistry, historic gems, canal-side cafés, and that all-important grandstand seat – so you won’t miss a single petal.
