2. Claude Monet's Garden, Giverny, France
The garden of the painter, Claude Monet in Giverny, is lovely. It was opened to the public 54 years after Monet’s death, in 1980, and every year hundreds of thousands of tourists admire the special plant species. Visitors can enjoy the colorful spectacle of the flower garden called Clos Normand and relax in a Japanese-inspired water garden. The garden’s beauty was reflected in Claude Monet’s paintings, but it also inspired other famous artists to create their works. Claude Monet’s garden may not be as large and diverse as others in Europe, but it certainly has an impressive history, with many painters, poets, or musicians crossing its alleys.

6. Copenhagen Botanical Garden, Denmark
7. Botanical Garden in Padua, Italy
Many say that Orto Botanico is the most beautiful botanical garden in Italy. If not the most beautiful, it is certainly the oldest: it is one of the few gardens that has survived since its establishment – 1545. It is the only university botanical garden that has survived so far. It has been a source of inspiration for other important gardens in the world. What is interesting about it is that you can see the same plants that were exposed in the 16th century. Here you have the opportunity to see, among other things, poisonous or carnivorous plants.
