When that spring travel fever hits, it’s time to plan a vacay. But with so many destinations to choose from, where do you go? That’s where we come in. We’re narrowing it down to the best of the best spring destinations around the world that are perfect for any traveler.
Amsterdam, Netherlands
One word: tulips. Every spring, travelers from around the world flock to Amsterdam for the annual Tulip Festival where every color of flowers line the streets of the entire city. If this isn’t enough, take a day trip to Keukenhof Gardens for a sight like no other—tulips for daysssss. 7 million bulbs to be exact. On top of that, April is the driest month of the year, so the weather is ideal for strolling, enjoying the various festivals or biking around town. Pro tip: go at the end of April to catch King’s Day, one of the world’s biggest street parties.

Washington, D.C.
Two words: cherry blossoms. Have you ever even been to DC if you didn’t capture the iconic pic of the Jefferson Memorial engulfed by perfectly pink cherry blossoms? Current predictions expect the 2023 peak bloom to fall in the last two weeks of March. After you’re done gallivanting around the National Mall and exploring the cool AND FREE museums, be sure to enjoy the food scene. Our capital city boasts some of the best boozy brunches in the country and also offers some great outdoor seating and rooftop options. Check out VUE Rooftop for some great drinks (if you’re 21+) and even better views. If DC isn’t at the top of your spring destination list, you’re just plain old doing it wrong.

Kyoto, Japan
More cherry blossoms, but this time they’re in Japan! If you’ve always wanted to go to Asia, this is the perfect excuse. Join in on the “hanami” aka the tradition of cherry blossom viewing and welcoming spring. Admire the many gardens, geishas, temples and iconic sites including the Kinkakuji Temple, Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine and the Bamboo Grove. Kyoto doesn’t skimp on nightlife either–there are actually local tour guides that will take you around all the bars so you can experience all the Japanese food, culture and drinks your heart desires. The previous claim that Japan was too expensive to visit is no more and we’ve got the proof.

Bodrum, Turkey
While not on many people’s radar for top spring destinations, Turkey has a lot more to offer than amazing culture and hot air balloons. Bodrum is a stunning beach town located in southwest Turkey and is the ultimate spring destination. Similar to Greece and Italy, most people flock here for boat trips and sunbathing on the perfectly turquoise Mediterranean sea, but definitely take some time to explore the old town too. The Castle of St. Peter (built in the 1400s!) and the Museum of Underwater Archaeology should be at the top of your list, but literally right behind the castle you’ll find the former fishing village transformed into picturesque white-washed cottages lined with vibrant flowers. Here, you can spend the day wandering into cool boutiques and sipping a drink at one of the many cafés. Ahhhh we can picture it now…

Milan, Italy
Milan isn’t just a fashionista’s paradise—it’s also a spring getaway that combines the best of Italian culture and skiing in the Alps. After spending a few days indulging in Milan’s high-end shopping, art, and incredible cuisine, you can hop on a quick train ride to the nearby mountains and hit the slopes. Skiing in the Italian Alps in early spring is an unforgettable experience: sun-drenched days and excellent snow conditions make for perfect adventures on the slopes. Whether you’re a first-time skier or an expert, the stunning Alpine backdrop is the cherry on top of your Milanian holiday. You get the best of both worlds: city chic and mountain thrills.
