Spring is nature’s way of saying, ‘Let’s party! 🌸🌺🌼’
From colorful blooms to mild weather, there are so many reasons to travel during this season. Check out these top picks for the best places to visit in spring!
Honolulu – Oahu
#1 in Best Places to Visit in Spring
Unlike some other destinations on this list, Hawaii’s third-largest island is best experienced during its peak travel season. In spring, daytime temperatures comfortably sit in the 70s and 80s and the rainy season starts to taper off, creating excellent weather conditions for hiking or lounging on some of Hawaii’s top beaches. What’s more, the island hosts a variety of fun festivals this season.
St. Lucia
#2 in Best Places to Visit in Spring
Spring is an ideal time to plan a getaway to St. Lucia, before the island’s wet season starts in June. From March to May, daytime temperatures sit in the 80s, so visitors can spend their days soaking up some sun on the palm-fringed beaches and hiking the volcanic Pitons. Visiting late in the season has added perks, including cheaper airfare and hotel rates (making it easier to splurge for that all-inclusive resort) and the Saint Lucia Jazz & Arts Festival, which takes place in May.
Asheville, NC
#3 in Best Places to Visit in Spring
Asheville offers something for every type of traveler, whether you want to go hiking, tour stunning estates or sample beer from the dozens of local breweries. In spring, daytime averages comfortably sit between the 50s and 70s, making hikes around must-see areas like Pisgah National Forest and the Blue Ridge Parkway especially pleasant. Plus, blooming wildflowers add extra dashes of color to this North Carolina city’s surrounding mountains. For more blossoms, visit the Biltmore Estate in April or May when it hosts its annual Biltmore Blooms festival to catch show-stopping azaleas in bloom.
