January 2012

Rye, NY: Spring is around the corner, and Insight Vacations is inviting you to join them for a glorious 10 days of flowers, flowers, and more flowers with their stunning Floriade 2012 With Brussels and Paris departing May 11. 2012. The Floriade World Horticultural Expo is referred to as the “Theater of Nature,” and this global sensation, which happens only once every 10 years, has the world's most exquisite and exceptional flowers, plants, trees, and more on display. Over 100 exhibitors from dozens of countries together will pay tribute to the world of horticulture. There are five unique themed worlds, each with its own décor, and cultural programs of music, dance, literature, theater, and visual art. Each world is designed for you to see, feel, and experience nature in a constantly changing way. One of the most spectacular sights in the world, the Floriade is absolutely magnificent, and you won’t want to miss it.

In addition to the breathtaking Floriade Expo, you will also visit the world-famous Keukenhof Gardens. Situated in the heart of Holland’s tulip growing region, Keukenhof Gardens is a 70-acre showcase of over seven million flowers, an event which has been showing spring in all of its colorful splendor for over 60 years. These spectacular gardens are only open for only nine weeks each year and are one of the most popular destinations in the Netherlands. The colors, variety, design and fragrance of these gardens are truly remarkable and unforgettable. These gardens are an absolute must-see for any nature lover.

If all this isn’t amazing enough, you will continue your journey to Belgium with two nights in Brussels, visiting the Grand Place, the Cathedral, and the Royal Palace. Then travel to the imperial city of Bruges, a World Heritage Site, with its patrician houses that convey the splendor of by-gone days. Allow yourself to journey back into medieval times with a leisurely-paced walking tour of one of Europe’s most perfectly preserved medieval cities.

From Brussels, you’ll travel through the Ardennes forest and French countryside to the “City of Light.” Upon arrival in Paris, a city tour shows you the Champs Elysees, the Arc de Triomphe, Place de la Concorde, and Notre Dame Cathedral. A visit to the Eiffel Tower will put the crowning touch on the day. On your final full day in Paris, visit Louis XIV’s magnificent Palace of Versailles. You’ll visit the palace rooms as well as the spectacular gardens. Compare them to everything you’ve seen in the Netherlands! And because there are never enough flowers during this glorious season, there’s one final fabulous destination--the lovely home and palatial gardens of Claude Monet.
