Discover nature oasis' in concrete jungles...
Somehow we're always looking for a dose of nature. Even on a city trip, at least at some point, we'll want to escape to a green space. 🌳 So, pack your picnic basket and discover the best parks around the world!
10. Stanley Park, Vancouver
The city of Vancouver is surrounded by sea and mountains, so almost everything in the city is pretty. The largest city park in Vancouver is Stanley Park, and you'll find it located right by the ocean. Walk, bike, rollerblade, or swim along the magnificent Seawall. The park also has many restaurants and stands, so you won't have to go hungry. 😋
Take a stroll along the Seawall
9. Hyde Park, London
Welcome to a park of the royalty! Out of the four Royal Parks around Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace, this one is the largest. Find the Diana Memorial Fountain, smell roses at the Rose Garden, or grab a drink at the famous Lido Bar and Café. You can even go for a swim in this 350-acre nature oasis!

7. Central Park, New York City
New York is the ultimate concrete jungle full of the unexpected. The multi-cultural and lively atmosphere of the city can best be discovered in its art district, Broadway, and of course... at Central Park. This massive park in the center of NYC (hence its name), has endless opportunities for exploration. Grab a New York hot dog from a stand and take a stroll!

6. Arthur's Seat, Edinburgh (Holyrood Park)
The medieval city of Edinburgh is full of mysterious wonder, but just outside the city, you will find an escape where you can enjoy the city from above. Arthur's Seat is actually an ancient volcano, and visitors can climb to the very top to enjoy some unique views of the city below. Arthur's Seat is a part of Holyrood Park, so you'll have plenty of hiking opportunities in the park left for other days as well! Check out how you can experience Scotland Like a Local.

The city of Edinburgh is also one of the Best Coffee Cities in the world. After all, J.K. Rowling wrote part of the Harry Potter series in a coffee shop in Edinburgh, so the coffee shop vibes must be alright! 😉 Tune in to see what other cities made it on the coffee-lovers list:
5. Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne
Melbourne's Royal Botanic Gardens feature a diverse set of plants, and you can be sure to be amazed by the lushness of it all. The park is referred to as the 'living heart of the city'. Marvel at sculptures and other works of art made from nature.

3. Golden Gate Bridge Park, San Francisco
The name of this park can be kind of misleading because the park is not actually located by the infamous Golden Gate Bridge Park. Nevertheless, the park is absolutely stunning and offers visitors the chance to visit a Japanese Tea Garden, which should not be missed.
