Floriade is the world’s fair of horticulture, a bloom with fragrant flowers and greenery. This event is held once in a decade. It is a feast for the senses with emerald cities dressed in natural designs, a floating tree forest, fragrant flowers and scented fruit trees
Floriade comes to life in a technicolor tapestry of trees, plants, crops and flowers from 40 different countries, each representing new technologies and prized plantings for sustainable greenery, architecture, food, energy and healthy living. The festivities include themed exhibits, art, live entertainment and culinary treats with expert insights by horticulturists from around the world, tastings of international fare and garden-grown produce. Visit hands-on exhibits for personal green thumb discoveries.
Explore 148 acres of garden-graced landscapes themed with green as you discover an urban arboretum steeped in nature to nurture the future. All of this is included on select Rhine River Cruises by Tauck.
