TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - There’s no activity more enjoyable in the spring than taking a stroll and enjoying the warming air. This season is the perfect moment to witness blooming flowers.
If you're looking for a change of scenery, flying to several cities worldwide that offer impressive spring travel experiences could be a great option. Hokuto, for example, invites travelers to admire the cherry blossom trees bathed in pink hues.
In addition to this city in Japan, plenty of other destinations could make it to your bucket list. According to Timeout Travel and Condé Nast Traveller, here are some beautiful towns worldwide to visit during spring.
Recommended Beautiful Cities Worldwide for Spring Travel Destinations
1. Cape Town, South Africa
Spring wind seekers should consider the capital of South Africa, Cape Town. Travelers are advised to visit this city in March, as it’s less crowded and the weather is perfect.
Tourists who want to explore the surroundings can try one of the hiking trails at Silvermine Nature Reserve. Prefer the coastal areas? Spend a relaxing time under the sun at Beta Beach. Additionally, visit one of the vineyards in Constantia.
2. Athena, Greece
When spring arrives, it's the perfect time to explore the historic city of Athens, Greece. With generally sunny weather during April and May, travelers can freely stroll around the town to check out its various attractions. Tourist groups are also relatively small, so visitors can enjoy taking photos at Athens' sightseeing spots without the crowds.
3. Hokuto, Japan
When talking about spring, it wouldn’t be complete without mentioning cherry blossoms. One of the must-visit countries to see cherry blossoms, an activity known as hanami, is Japan, and Hokuto is one of the places that offers this experience.
This city in Hokkaido Prefecture typically sees its cherry blossoms bloom about a month later, in May, compared to other places in Japan. To experience hanami, tourists can visit Matsumae Park or Higashimokoto Park.
4. Amsterdam, Netherland
Not to be outdone by Japan, the Netherlands also offers amazing spring blossoms. However, tourists are treated to vast fields of colorful tulips instead of cherry blossoms.
Amsterdam is an excellent destination during the tulip season. From mid-March to mid-May, the Dutch capital becomes more vibrant as tulips bloom in various colors, red, pink, purple, yellow, and orange.
5. Lisbon, Portugal
The next city to visit in spring is Lisbon. What does the capital of Portugal have to offer? If you enjoy exploring the city, the streets of Lisbon are adorned with purple jacaranda trees starting in mid-April. The weather is also ideal for sitting back and enjoying delicious food at rooftop bars.
6. Seville, Spain
According to Timeout Travel, the best time to visit Seville is at the end of spring. During this time, visitors can witness one of Sevilla's important annual celebrations, La Feria de Abril, which features various exciting performances, from flamenco dances to bullfights.
7. Paris, France
Classic, yet always a favorite. There's no need to exert much energy; spend your spring holiday in Paris by strolling around the city or stopping by one of its many cafes.
As a fashion capital, it would seem incomplete without a shopping spree. Fashionistas can visit the boutiques in Paris. Besides clothing, visitors can also spend money on various antiques.
8. Singapore
Riding the Singapore Flyer is one of the first nighttime activities in Singapore. The second-largest Ferris wheel in Asia, this ride offers an experience of viewing the entire city and other iconic destinations of the Lion City, such as Gardens by the Bay, at night from a height of about 165 meters.
9. Valletta, Malta
There are many interesting activities to do while visiting Valletta. Explore St. John’s Co-Cathedral to admire its high Baroque architecture. Every April, the city also celebrates a festival filled with seasonal and classical dances, the Malta Spring Festival.
10. New York, United States
New York closes the list of cities to visit this spring. After a long, gloomy winter, the city known as the Big Apple is bathed in bright sunlight. New York is also an ideal place to enjoy the cherry blossoms, as the city's parks are filled with these beautiful trees.
