Flowers, birds, and verdant hues announce spring.
Balmy weather, pretty flowers, and reasonable prices make spring one of the best times of the year to travel. Our ten favorite spring destinations will help you make the most of the season, with three destinations picked for their flora at this time of year; four more proposing terrific international cities worth seeing between April and June – before the arrival of summer crowds and jacked-up prices; and three finalists that make great sun-and-sand escapes – even with winter over!
