A springtime getaway may be just what the doctor ordered. After a long winter, a change of scenery can be a refreshing way to reinvigorate yourself. Whether you stay in the States or venture abroad, you can’t go wrong with a vacation. Below, we’ve listed some springtime travel destinations we know you’ll love!
Kyoto, Japan
Japan, especially Kyoto, is magnificent in the spring when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Daytime temperatures are usually in the mid-60s to low 70s, the perfect spring weather. Top attractions include Shoden-ji Temple, Jonangu, Lake Biwa Yamashina Canal, and Arishiyama.
Marrakech, Morocco
If you’ve never considered visiting Marrakech, this is your sign to explore the enchanted sights, barter for hand-woven treasures, and lose yourself in the starlit magic of the Sahara. Must-see spring destinations include the Ouzoud Falls, the Atlas Mountains, Bahia Palace, Majorelle Gardens, and Ourika Valley. Expect the weather to be in the high 70s throughout the day, with 8-10 hours of sunshine.
New Orleans, Louisiana
Envision a robust French Quarter that comes to life with live jazz music and Latin sounds. If you time it right, you may experience Mardi Gras, but if that’s not your thing, don’t fret. New Orleans offers plenty of enriching adventures. Enjoying the food is at the top of our list, as spring is crawfish season. Other activities include taking a Natchez River Cruise and visiting the cemeteries. Temperatures are typically in the 80s with low humidity.
Stockholm, Sweden
You may not have considered adding Stockholm to your bucket list, but if you’re planning a spring getaway, you absolutely should! The snow is gone, and the city is full of flourishing flowers. Must-do activities include the Bergius Botanic Garden, Brunnsvikens Kanotklubb, Millesgården, a Stockholm Nature Tour, and Ulriksdal Palace. By the way, if you go further north, you may experience the Midnight Sun.
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Amsterdam is one of the most beautiful places during the spring, as you will be greeted by gorgeous flowers, particularly tulips, in full bloom. For the best tulip photos, head to Bloesempark. Other springtime activities include the King’s Day festival, canal boat tours, and the Heineken Experience.
