Spring forward into March
March is a month of transition. Spring starts to emerge across parts of Europe, yet further afield in places like Japan and Saint Lucia, you’ll find some of the most rewarding travel conditions of the year. If you’re wondering where to travel in March, this is a time to combine cultural highlights with comfortable touring weather and reliable sunshine.
Discover some of our favourite destinations to visit in March.
Say no to April showers
April is a month that rewards careful timing. Spring brings milder temperatures across North Africa and parts of Europe, while tropical destinations benefit from calmer seas and balanced conditions before peak summer heat or heavier rains arrive.
If you’re deciding where to travel in April, this is a strong window for combining culture, coastline and outdoor exploration in places like Morocco, Bermuda, and Indonesia, without extreme temperatures.
Have a spring fling with the city break in May
As the year moves towards summer across the Northern Hemisphere, May opens a window where wildlife viewing sharpens, mountain skies clear and Mediterranean villages in Italy and Greece hum back to life. Dry season conditions are settling across parts of southern Africa and the Andes in Peru, making safari drives and high altitude exploration far more rewarding.

A safari is one of those holidays many people dream about for years. The first lion sighting, an elephant appearing beside the road, sundowners as the sun drops behind the bush. But as our Head Office colleague Heather discovered during a recent trip to South Africa, the most memorable safari experiences are often the ones you could never have planned.
Singapore may be compact, but its calendar is packed with celebrations that can transform an already memorable city break into something even more special. Throughout the year, its neighbourhoods are illuminated by festival lights, the Marina Bay skyline becomes the backdrop for fireworks and motor racing, and streets fill with parades, markets, music, and food. Many events reflect Singapore’s multicultural identity, giving visitors the chance to experience Chinese, Malay, Indian, and international traditions within the same city. You don’t necessarily need to plan your entire holiday around one event, either. Time your visit well, and Singapore’s annual celebrations can add colour, flavour, and a real sense of occasion to the attractions, restaurants, and neighbourhoods already on your itinerary.
