3Stockholm, Sweden

You know it is the arrival of spring in Stockholm when the pink cherry blossom light up the city. This is a special time in Sweden and you get to experience a spark of Japanese culture here. You can wander through Kungstradgarden where over sixty korsbarstrad (cherry trees) are planted and forms a pink canopy that leaves visitors awestruck with its beauty.    

An annual Japanese festival takes place in the grand park with crafts and food stalls set up beneath the trees. It is one of the most Instagram-worthy places in Stockholm and the best part is you can attend the festival free of cost. When to visit: Mid April
