The beautiful Japanese cherry trees only bloom for a few weeks here at home. Have you seen them? Here are five places where you can get under the pink duvet and get into the spring mood.

Look up and enjoy the fresh spring breeze biting your cheeks. We miss our eyes when the sun is at its highest, but if we stand under a pink blanket of cherry blossoms, we can't help it.

Have you seen them? The beautiful cherry trees?

We have enlisted the help of the great internet, and have found five oases that draw in pink when the Japanese cherry trees spring out.

Bispebjerg Cemetery

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. Last year I took this photo at Bispebjerg Cemetery:

You will find the small avenue with the cherry trees next to Søndre Kapel at Bispebjerg Cemetery.

Assistens Cemetery

Copenhageners and tourists can also stroll under the beautiful cherry trees at Nørrebro. Furthermore, it is here that HC Andersen and Niels Bohr are buried. 

Langelinie Park

Along Langelinie Park you can count no less than 200 Japanese cherry trees. And from 30 April to 1 May 2016, the annual Sakura Festival at the Kastellet will take place. The festival focuses on Japanese culture and is free to attend.

Tivoli

On 6 April 2016, Tivoli opened its doors for a new season. Perfect timing if you want to see the Golden Tower and the ride Vertigo dressed in pink. The cherry trees spring out at Tivoli Lake.

Marselisborg Memorial Park

If you are in central Jutland, you must take a trip to the beautiful memorial park in Aarhus. Here you will find Kersebærlunden, where approx. 50 different Japanese cherry varieties are in bloom. The trees were a gift from the Sakura Foundation.

So take a friend or family under your arm and put on your spring jacket, and you're ready to go.

Around the middle of April they are usually in full bloom here at home.

Cherry blossoms all year round

Didn't make it – or would you just like to be able to look up at a crisp spring sky and delicate cherry blossoms all year round?

Then see our SAKURA poster >>>

Sakura means cherry blossom in Japanese. And here they are lucky enough to be able to enjoy the cherry trees for a whole month.

That is why the Japanese also have a word for "looking at cherry blossoms":
