Spring Travel Destinations

Spring travel guides covering cherry blossom timing, Mediterranean reopenings, wildflower trails, and Easter-period logistics across both hemispheres.

  • Chefchaouen

    Chefchaouen

    Chefchaouen moves slower than the rest of Morocco — the blue walls, the mountain air, the goat cheese. That pace is the whole point.

  • Bermuda

    Bermuda

    Bermuda is not Caribbean — it’s a British territory with pink sand beaches, 300+ shipwreck dive sites, and judges still wearing powdered wigs.

  • Slovakia

    Slovakia

    Bratislava Castle overlooks three countries at once. Most visitors miss that — and the Old Town streets below it entirely.

  • Saint Lucia

    Saint Lucia

    The Pitons look best from the water at dusk — but the real Saint Lucia is a bowl of pepperpot stew in a fishing village.

  • Sedona

    Sedona

    Sedona’s red rocks hit differently at golden hour — but the vortex sites are where most visitors lose track of time entirely.

  • Shanghai

    Shanghai

    The Bund looks better from Pudong at night — but the real Shanghai is the French Concession’s plane-tree alleys at noon.

  • Japan

    Japan

    Tokyo and Kyoto pull in opposite directions — neon and noise vs. stone gardens and silence. You need both, and two weeks still feels short.

  • Dominican Republic

    Dominican Republic

    Pico Duarte is the Caribbean’s highest peak and most people skip it for Punta Cana. That trade-off tells you everything about the DR.

  • San Diego

    San Diego

    San Diego’s best move is skipping the obvious and eating your way through Barrio Logan on a Tuesday afternoon.

  • Saint-Tropez

    Saint-Tropez

    Saint-Tropez works better in May or October. July crowds and EUR30 rosé make the real town almost impossible to find.

  • Savannah

    Savannah

    Savannah’s 22 squares aren’t decorative — they’re the city’s living rooms. Sit in one long enough and the whole place makes sense.

  • Poland

    Poland

    Kraków’s cellars, Warsaw’s rebuilt streets, bison in Białowieża — Poland rewards the curious traveler who looks past the obvious.

  • Sofia

    Sofia

    Four faiths, one city square — Sofia’s religious quartet alone justifies the flight. The opera tickets cost less than dinner.

  • San Antonio

    San Antonio

    The River Walk gets crowded by noon — walk it at 7am instead. The missions south of the Alamo are quieter and frankly more impressive.

  • Qatar

    Qatar

    Doha’s skyline is genuinely jarring — glass towers with Islamic geometry rising from flat desert, 45 minutes from an inland sea swallowed by dunes.

  • Amalfi

    Amalfi

    The EUR2 coastal bus delivers better views than any boat tour. Amalfi’s cathedral square alone is worth timing your itinerary around.

  • Lake Garda

    Lake Garda

    Sirmione sits on a narrow peninsula jutting into Lake Garda — the Roman ruins and medieval castle alone justify the detour from Verona.

  • Portugal

    Portugal

    Porto’s azulejo tiles and the Algarve’s cliffs are just the start — Portugal rewards the traveler who lingers past the obvious.

  • Nice

    Nice

    Cours Saleya’s morning markets smell like the best version of France. By afternoon, the same square is full of rosé and locals.

  • Santiago

    Santiago

    Santiago sits at 520m with the Andes as a permanent backdrop. The Lastarria neighborhood alone earns the flight from anywhere.

  • Burgundy

    Burgundy

    Burgundy’s wine route costs nothing to drive and the villages along it — Pommard, Meursault, Gevrey — are reason enough to slow down.
