A record-breaking and dream-like flowering
As in previous years, the 2026 flowering season promises to be impressive: the grandeur of the layout, the 60 hectares of gardens, and one million tulips are the ingredients for an event that is truly incredible. There will be not only tulips, but also daffodils, hyacinths, and alliums —all elegant flowers, intensely colorful, making the experience a dream.
There will also be a show garden , an exhibition area designed to allow visitors to admire hundreds of tulip varieties from around the world. This immense botanical diversity ensures staggered flowering and offers a constantly evolving display of colors throughout the festival.
The Tulipanomania festival is an artistic tale that uses the natural world as an expression. The arrangement of tulips and flowers is conceived as a true artistic performance:
The flowerbeds were designed drawing inspiration from abstract art, creating striking geometric patterns that blend harmoniously with the park's gentle slopes. A particularly charming feature are the evocative floating flowerbeds, which elegantly dance on the pools of water and reflect the colors of the petals. Strolling along the enchanting paths, you'll also find flower-filled benches and creative arrangements ideal for unforgettable photographs.
The magical labyrinth of Sigurtà Park and other wonders
Among the most beloved attractions of the Sigurtà Garden Park remains the majestic Labyrinth , a work designed by Giuseppe Inga Sigurtà in collaboration with renowned maze designer Adrian Fisher. This intricate green path is home to approximately 1,500 yew trees, with dense hedges well over two meters high. Exploring its green corridors is a stimulating adventure that challenges every explorer's sense of direction. At the center of the labyrinth stands a striking dome, representing the arrival point and a well-deserved reward for finding the right path.
Another iconic feature of the Garden Park is the romantic Rose Avenue , where approximately 30,000 ancient roses bloom every year, offering a mesmerizing olfactory and visual spectacle. The blooming avenue creates an optical illusion, with the Scaligero Castle of Valeggio as its protagonist, becoming an integral part of the garden itself. Ideal for a romantic stroll, it transports visitors to an atmosphere of times gone by.
The lawn of Sigurtà Garden Park is one of the park's most popular spots, as well as its vibrant and peaceful heart. A vast expanse of soft, manicured grass invites you to go barefoot, relax, and reconnect with the natural environment. Locals come here to read books, picnic, and recharge in the shade of centuries-old trees, among flowering ponds filled with carp and water lilies, all overlooked by the large oak tree, the oldest tree in the park, estimated to be centuries old.
The wonders of Sigurtà Garden Park don't end there: among hidden paths and quiet trails, many historic buildings rise, including the Castelletto and the Eremo , both nestled in the wooded landscape. The hermitage, with its neo-Gothic architecture, dominates the view from a raised perch, offering a picturesque setting.
