Best places to visit in Spring

It’s often said that spring is the best time of year to travel. The temperatures begin to rise, the days grow ever longer and natural landscapes come alive with colour as the spring blooms awake from their winter slumber. Furthermore, travelling in spring is a great idea if you’d rather avoid the crowds and heat of the peak summer months. Across the globe, spring is considered a time of rebirth, and you’ll likely find all manner of local festivals that celebrate the optimism and abundance of this time of year. 

Some of the best places to visit in spring are destinations where nature is the main focus. From the Scottish Highlands to the rainforests of Panama, springtime is renowned for its natural beauty. On the other hand, spring is the perfect time to hit the beach. As the weather heats up across Southern Europe, a laid-back beach escape is a perfect plan for an Easter family getaway or a romantic couples break. So, whether you’re drawn to the delicate cherry blossoms of Japan, the tulips of Amsterdam or the sun-kissed beaches of the Algarve, let our selection of seasonal getaways put a spring in your step!

Best countries to visit in April

One of the most popular months to travel, there are countless options to choose from when it comes to planning a trip in April. Perhaps you’re looking for the perfect family holiday or are planning a one-of-a-kind solo adventure? Emerging from winter, the northern hemisphere begins to enjoy warmer weather in April, and with rising temperatures, the beaches of the Mediterranean welcome sun-seeking travellers. At the same time, the southern hemisphere slowly transitions into fall, so it’s a great time of year to set off on a South American tour or a wildlife-spotting adventure through Indonesia. Furthermore, April is often considered ‘shoulder season’ for many tropical destinations around the globe. This means travellers can enjoy budget-friendly prices and fewer crowds than during the peak season making it the perfect time to jet off to somewhere exotic! 

If you’re into sightseeing, April is the perfect month to enjoy a city tour or cultural trip. Exploring heritage sites, museums and art galleries is a pleasure during the balmy springtime weather. Furthermore, you can expect fewer crowds at the world’s most popular sites, from the Inca ruins of Machu Picchu in Peru to the Louvre in Paris or the Acropolis of Athens. When it comes to the best places to travel to in April, the world really is your oyster, but some of the most popular destinations include Greece, Italy, Mexico, Bali, India and Spain.
