Spring flowers and garden path in the Netherlands

Spring in Europe; It offers longer days, opened parks and the opportunity for city walks before the summer rush begins. However, north and south do not warm up at the same time. Lisbon and Seville may be more stable for spending time outdoors in March, while Amsterdam and Copenhagen are stronger in May.

Don't choose your city based solely on the average temperature. The possibility of rain and wind, the season of the garden/park you want to see and the intensity of public holidays also affect the decision.
