Best Spring Destinations for 2025: Where to Go for Blooming Landscapes & Perfect Weather

Spring is the perfect season to travel—the weather is mild, nature is in full bloom, and popular destinations are less crowded before the summer rush. Whether you're looking for colorful flower fields, picturesque cities, or outdoor adventures, here are the best spring destinations for 2025.

1. Kyoto, Japan – Cherry Blossom Wonderland

Spring in Kyoto is synonymous with cherry blossoms (sakura). From late March to mid-April, the city transforms into a pink paradise. Stroll along the Philosopher’s Path, visit the iconic Kiyomizu-dera Temple, or enjoy a hanami (cherry blossom viewing picnic) in Maruyama Park. The mild temperatures make Kyoto an ideal destination for cultural exploration and scenic beauty.

KEEP in mind that this is one of Japan's most popular tourist attractions, which means this will be a very busy season. So plan accordingly to help navigate the large crowds.

2. Amsterdam, Netherlands – Tulip Season at Its Peak

Spring is tulip season in the Netherlands, and there’s no better place to see them than in Keukenhof Gardens, just outside Amsterdam. With over seven million tulips in bloom, it’s a must-visit for flower lovers. Take a bike ride through the countryside, visit the windmill-dotted landscapes of Zaanse Schans, or enjoy a canal cruise through Amsterdam’s charming waterways.

3. Washington, D.C., USA – National Cherry Blossom Festival

The U.S. capital is one of the best spring destinations, thanks to the National Cherry Blossom Festival held from late March to early April. The Tidal Basin becomes a breathtaking scene of pink and white blossoms. Combine flower viewing with visits to historic landmarks like the Lincoln Memorial and the Smithsonian Museums.

4. Provence, France – Lavender Fields & Charming Villages

While Provence is famous for its summer lavender, spring offers beautiful wildflowers, blooming orchards, and fewer crowds. Explore Gordes, Roussillon, and the Luberon Valley, where rolling vineyards and medieval villages create a postcard-perfect setting. The weather is mild, and the markets are full of fresh local produce.

5. Cape Town, South Africa – Ideal Weather & Outdoor Adventures

Spring in the Northern Hemisphere means autumn in South Africa, making it an ideal time to visit Cape Town. With clear skies, comfortable temperatures, and fewer tourists, you can hike up Table Mountain, explore the Cape Winelands, or take a scenic drive along Chapman’s Peak. It’s also a great time for wildlife spotting in nearby safari destinations.

Visit the stunning Alcázar of Seville, the Giralda Tower, and the charming Santa Cruz neighborhood for an unforgettable experience.

7. Vancouver, Canada – Cherry Blossoms & Coastal Beauty

Spring in Vancouver is spectacular, with cherry blossoms blooming across the city and outdoor activities in full swing. Stroll through Stanley Park, visit the VanDusen Botanical Garden, or explore nearby mountain trails. The mild temperatures and stunning coastal views make it an excellent choice for nature lovers.

8. Marrakech, Morocco – Exotic Gardens & Comfortable Weather

Marrakech in spring is warm but not scorching, making it the perfect time to explore the Majorelle Garden, wander through the bustling Medina, or take a trip into the Atlas Mountains. The city’s vibrant markets and historical sites are best enjoyed without the intense summer heat.
