Istanbul Već celu deceniju Istanbul tokom aprila postaje jedan od najboljih vrtova u Evropi. Gradska vlada sadi milione lala u istanbulskim parkovima, avenijama, kružnim tokovima, a rezultat je veličanstven prolecni cvetni festival sa blistavim rasprskavanjem boja kud god da pogledate. Ipak, za pravu poslasticu od lala i međunarodni festival po- svećen ovom cveću morate se uputiti u park Emirgan, je- dan od najvecih javnih parkova u Istanbulu, koji se nalazi na Bosforu, na evropskoj obali. Na trgu Sultan Ahmed grad za- jedno sa najistaknutijom turskom cvetnom kompanijom priprema tepih od lala veći od 1.000 kvadratnih metara, ko- ji se smatra najvecim na svetu. Dizajn se menja svake godi- ne, ali uvek je napravljen od lala, koje su jedan od tradicio- nalnih simbola Istanbula. ISTANBUL Over the last decade, Istanbul has become one of the best gardens in Europe in April. The government of the City of Is- tanbul plants millions tulips in the city’s parks, on its avenues and traffic roundabouts etc. The result is a glorious spring flower festival with brilliant splashes of colour at every turn. However, for a real tulip treat - in the form of the International Istanbul Tulip Festival - you have to head to Emirgan Park, one of the largest public parks in Istanbul, located by the Bos- phorus, on the European side of the city. It is on Sultanahmet Square that the City authorities, in conjunction with Turkey’s most prominent flower company, prepare the Tulip Carpet that covers over 1,000 square metres and is considered the world’s largest. The carpet’s design changes each year, but it is always made of tulips, which represent one of Istanbul’s traditional symbols.
Brisel Svakog proleca u šumi u blizini Brisela događa se nešto ma- gično: milioni zumbula stvaraju plavi tepih, spektakularno more cveca koje ispunjava vazduh intenzivnim slatkim miri- som. Jedinstven prizor koji deluje kao bajka! „Plava šuma“ je drevna, pa ipak puna mladog drveca i plavog cveća, a naj- bolje vreme za posetu je oko sredine aprila. Da biste u pot- punosti doživeli magiju plavog tepiha u Halerbosu, posetu je potrebno planirati tokom prvih sedam do deset dana na- kon izbijanja bukovog lišca, kada sunčeva svetlost dopire kroz krošnju i stvara ovaj spektakularni efekat. BRUSSELS Something magical happens in this forest close to Brussels every spring: millions of bluebells blossom to create a blue car- pet, forming a spectacular sea of flowers and filling the air with an intensely sweet fragrance… This is a truly unique sight that seems like it’s straight out of a fairy tale! “The blue forest” is an ancient forest with young trees and lots of bluebells and the best time to visit is around mid-April. In order to enjoy the full experience of the magic of the blue carpet in Hallerbos, you need to plan your visit during the first seven to ten days fol- lowing the blossoming of the beech trees, when the sunlight reaches the bluebells through the leaves to create this spec- tacular colour effect.
