World's Best Spring Destinations
Spring is the perfect time to take a trip to some of the world’s most beautiful destinations. It allows travelers to explore a new destination before the annual summer crowds roll in. During spring, there is usually milder weather in many popular travel destinations, less tourists, and better pricing when it comes to flights and lodging since it won’t usually be peak season.
Tulip Festival, The Netherlands
If you love the sight of an endless sea of flowers in bloom, you’re going to fall in love with the tulip season in The Netherlands. In mid April, you’ll see the tulips at their best. Tulip season runs from the end of March until mid May, but the flowers are normally looking the most spectacular halfway through April. More than 7 million flower bulbs bloom in spring at the Keukenhof in Lisse.
