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.

Where you stay in and around Kruger National Park can shape the entire safari experience, from intimate lodges inside the reserve to private game viewing in the Greater Kruger area. Each property included in this round-up offers a different take on a South African safari, whether you’re looking for authentic design, indulgent comfort, or exceptional guiding.
The rail network in Japan makes it easy to shape a trip around the kind of experience you want, rather than following a single fixed route. One day you can be in the middle of a busy food district, the next you’re watching the landscape open out into mountains or coastline. These journeys aren’t about rushing through a checklist, but about choosing routes that naturally link places together and give each stop a bit more meaning.
Finland is often linked with winter trips to Lapland, but there’s much more to discover across the country. From design-led cities to quiet lakes and coastal landscapes, it offers a different pace of travel that feels both refreshing and easy to explore. If you’re looking for a European destination that combines nature, culture, and something a little less expected, Finland is well worth considering.
