Parc de l'Indépendance — Attraction in Morges

Nestled along Lake Geneva with stunning views of the Alps and Mont Blanc, the setting is pure magic. I spent hours strolling the accessible paths, snapping photos, and soaking in the serene atmosphere. The park itself is a gem, with ancient chestnut trees and shady spots ideal for picnics. What sets this festival apart is the thoughtful planning, early, mid, and late-blooming tulips ensure there’s always something in peak bloom, no matter when you visit. The 2025 theme, “water,” added a unique touch with displays that seemed to flow like a river of flowers. Weekend events, like the treasure hunt and live music at the Kiosque à Musique, kept things lively, and my kids loved the family-friendly activities. Food stalls offered tasty local treats, but I also enjoyed grabbing a coffee in Morges’ charming old town, just a short walk away. It’s easy to get to by train (10 minutes from Morges station) or car, with parking nearby. Whether you’re a flower enthusiast, a photographer, or just looking for a relaxing day out, this festival is a must. I’m already planning my return for next year’s bloom, don’t miss it, it’s Switzerland’s best-kept...

There were many interesting displays of tulips, daffodils and other varieties at the 2023 Morges Tulip Festival. I visited early in the season and some flowers were not in bloom.

If you can’t make it to Keukenhof in the Netherlands, this park is your consolation prize 😀. It is free and every spring they put a great effort showcasing various tulips. Try to come on a weekday and check their online webcam to see whether the flowers are in full bloom. Tulips have max 10 prime days a year. I wish you lots of luck. It is currently in full bloom. Don’t...
