点评:This is perhaps the most gorgeous garden I've ever seen in my LIFE. Stepping out of the busy Medina to venture into the trendy Gueliz neighborhood, it feels like you're getting the opportunity to walk into Yves Saint-Laurent's life. Aesthetically incredible architecture and the most immaculate gardens. The varietals of plants was simply mind-blowing—the biggest agave and yucca plants, towering palms and cacti, multicolored bougainvillea, all perfectly arranged by geographical origin in the magnificent space. The closest I've ever experienced to something like this is La Casa Azul in Mexico City—but I think Saint-Laurent outdoes Frida Kahlo, at least in terms of landscape design. Pro tips: go early to avoid the crowds. We went at 2pm, and the Instagram biddies and even a wedding party were everywhere! But luckily, the space still felt spacious enough to handle all of the people. The only downside was that their site refused to process our American cards to book our tickets (you HAVE to book tickets in advance). So we had to book through an outside tour operator, and pay a higher price. All in all though, even with that higher ticket price for the third-party operator, it was well worth it. We spent hours and hours wandering and marveling at the gorgeous garden.
