Is there a better time to visit new places than Spring? Fewer people than in the high season, pleasant temperatures outside, and soothing nature that comes to life – these are just a few of the many arguments for going on a spring trip. Check what are the best places to travel in May.
Spring is the best time to visit many of the world’s most popular holiday destinations. If you want to take advantage of all the charms of spring trips, discover the best places for spring break.
Diverse and vibrant Crete
Crete is an ideal spring break destination and one of the best places to travel in May. The tourist season has not started yet, but nature makes sightseeing more pleasant. You can see famous places like the Turkish old town of Rethymno with its Venetian fortress, the port city of Chania and its beautiful old town, or just go on a road trip to Lake Kourna. Crete is one of those places wrongly associated only with summer holidays, and you can change it.
A walk around Copenhagen
You will come to Copenhagen for stunning nature and world-famous castles, but you will leave it with much more experience than you previously assumed. May is the perfect month to visit the capital of Denmark, the ideal spring break destination. Just enjoy spring weather walking through Strøget passing by cafés, and flea markets, and having fun at street parties and picnics led by the lively streets. There are many parks scattered throughout Copenhagen, which means you will always find a green space on your way to the most famous places: Christiansborg Palace, Slotsholmen, or the National Museum of Denmark.
Tokyo, Japan
One of the distinguishing features of Japanese culture is the special relationship between man and nature. Hence, the huge popularity of a ritual named hanami which means enjoying flowers – (literally “looking at flowers”). Visiting the interesting corners of Tokyo (Asakusa’s Sensoji Temple, Meiji Jingu, or Tokyo Tower) must be combined with lunch in the park, as the locals do. There is a popular park Ueno Park, however, it is often overcrowded. Try Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden or Yoyogi Park.
New York, you didn’t know
Why is New York on the list of the best places to travel in May? Believe it or not, May is one of the best months to visit New York. It is not hot, the rain is moderate, and the humidity is not as bad as in the other warm months. This is the perfect time to visit the parks and gardens of New York. You can take advantage of the beautiful weather for a trip to Washington. Let yourself be accompanied by cherry blossoms along the Tidal Basin.
The South of France
Spring travel to the French coast is hard to compare with any stay anywhere else on earth. Many travelers agree that spring is the perfect time to visit France. And this is due to the weather, which in April and May is wonderfully sunny and warm, and daytime temperatures are mild.
Therefore, be sure to visit the picturesque towns of the south, and go to one of the beaches hidden among the cliffs for some outdoor activities. The Côte d’Azur and the lesser-known, attractive Mediterranean Fjord Route await you.
