8Paris, France

Go for a walk along the Eiffel Tower and drown yourself in the sea of pink petals. If you want to witness the blooming sakura, head to Parc du Champ de Mars situated between the Ecole Militaire and the Eiffel Tower. But the most Instagrammable are the cherry trees at the corners of the Allee Adrienne Lecouvreur and Avenue Gustave Eiffel.

Another popular spot to get a glance of the pink display is the south facade of Notre-Dame de Paris. But it is also one of the busiest locations. Jardin Tino Rossi is an underrated treasure in Paris. This park has a number of cherry trees that fully bloom in the middle of April. A few other known areas are Petit Palais, Square Gabriel Pierne and Jardin des Plantes. When to visit: Late March to Mid April
