Super spring getaway!

Everybody is always happy when the spring comes. Sun starts to shine, days become longer and ground starts to turn from greyish brown to green. When people shuffle out from their houses to see the sun after the cold winter, the new gained energy (and sudden rush of vitamin D) makes them eager to start planning for free time activities and vacations. Although mostly people tend to time their vacations for the summer, some people choose to go for a trip during the spring. Why? Because off-the-season prices are usually lower, and the mild weather and lack of tourist groups filling the streets of the popular destinations during the summer tempt people to reserve a holiday for the spring months. If you are one of those people and want to get a short getaway during the spring, this post is for you. Here are some reasons and destinations for a perfect holiday in the spring!

When the summer gets closer the earth starts to turn. The northen part of the globe gets closer to the sun whereas the southern part below the equador gets further away from the sun. That's the reason why during the winter months Australian people get oily and tanned under the sun while in Europe people freeze in their boots and coats in the snow and rain, and vise versa. This is means that during March and April the springy weather can be experienced in Europe and North-America, whereas places close to the tropical areas of equador are always warm. But beware of the rain! Hot tropical destinations can have wet rainy seasons after the dry and cool winter.

If you wish to head for a beach holiday during the spring you might want to look for always warm destinations in the Caribbean, South America, Central America and South East Asia. Places close to the tropical areas always tend to be warm, but rainy seasons vary according to the destination. Before booking a trip it is wise to check the country's average weather and rain statistics to not get disappointed if you end up spending your holiday inside while watching the pouring rain.

For you who want to spend your spring holiday in mild weather and in a city destination, head for example to Europe or USA. How does a shopping trip to New York, Paris or London sound? What about a cultural experience in Barcelona, Rome or Vienna? Especially the big European cities attract a lot of tourist during the summer, which means that in the spring you can expect less people and less crowd. Prices are also cheaper outside of the popular travel seasons. The mild weather of the spring also lets you enjoy your holiday without the constant search for shadow and the risk of sunburn.
