Explaining Europe Through Its Parks And Squares

In Europe, the most common way to spend rest, recreation and relaxation time is visiting a park Christian Louboutin Shoes
or a square, which the continent has a-plenty. It just goes to show that Europeans know how to appreciate the good things in life from the manmade to the natural - truly, the mark of a sophisticated people.So, after pounding the pavement of the concrete jungle, going back in time through the museums, and fantasizing about royalty in the castles, head on to the parks and squares of the great continent of Europe. Take note that a park or a square in Barcelona - or any other major European city, for that matter - is not necessarily superior or inferior to its counterparts in other cities.Each one offers unique attractions, gardens and other features that speak of the place and of the people.Let's start with what is arguably considered as the most controversial city this side of the world - Berlin.Nestled within this cosmopolitan city with a historic past is the Botanical Garden and Museum, which is Botanischer Garten und Museum in German.Visitors flock to the garden to enjoy its 108 acres of plants coming from 20,000 species from across the world. The greenhouses and hothouses are truly magnificent to behold, not to mention that visitors can take a virtual tour around the world by visiting the greenhouses that mimic the climate conditions of specific regions of the world.Then there's the City Park in Christian Louboutin 2011 Shoes
Budapest.

Visitors can traipse through the park's attractions ranging from Heroes Square and the art nouveau zoo to the warm waters of the Szechenyi thermal bathhouse.

You can as easily get lost in your own reverie in one of the many pockets of calm in the 4-hectare gardens as be lost in time inside the museum.Lest we forget, Rome is a city that boasts of its magnificent parks and squares and for good reasons, too. The majesty of royalty combines with the heavenly appeal of nature to make for parks and squares that continue to withstand the test of time.Take your pick from the likes of St. Peter's Square, Piazza Venezia and Piazza Popoli, to Cheap Christian Louboutin Ankle Boots
