Spring is a time when nature awakens, and cities come to life. It’s the perfect moment to embark on a new adventure — whether admiring cherry blossoms in Japan, enjoying the comfortable weather in Australia, uncovering the ancient secrets of Machu Picchu, or witnessing the raw power of Victoria Falls.
Travelling at this time of year isn’t just about exploring new places; it’s also a chance to witness unique seasonal phenomena. From the Peruvian Andes coming alive after the rainy season to the stunning cherry blossoms in full bloom, spring offers something truly special. Here’s our list of 5 incredible destinations to visit this season.
Spring in Machu Picchu is a season of change, with each month offering a different experience. March offers a rare opportunity to see the ancient citadel shrouded in mist, with fewer tourists around. April brings mild weather and smaller crowds, while May, the start of the dry season, offers the most stunning panoramas — though visitor numbers do increase. This 600-year-old city, hidden in the Andes, is rightfully considered one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Tip: Book your tickets in advance, especially if you plan to hike the Inca Trail — it’s closed for maintenance in February but reopens in spring for adventurous travellers.
Want to experience the relaxed Australian lifestyle without the summer crowds? When it’s spring in the Northern Hemisphere, it’s autumn in Australia — the perfect time to visit Sydney!
From March to May, the city enjoys fewer tourists and pleasant temperatures (18–25°C), making it ideal for exploring iconic landmarks like the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge or enjoying a leisurely meal on a terrace overlooking the bay.
If you’re after a beach getaway, the warm waters of Bondi Beach and the legendary Bondi Icebergs Club swimming pool remain inviting throughout the season.
Tip: Take a yacht cruise around Sydney Harbour for the city's best panoramic views.
Spring transforms Seoul into a fairytale scene, with streets lined with blooming cherry trees, creating an incredibly romantic atmosphere. The city is perfect for leisurely walks — visit the historic Changdeokgung and Gyeongbokgung Palaces to experience the spirit of ancient Korea, then head to Gwangjang Market, the country’s oldest market, to try Korean delicacies like spicy kimchi and crispy pajeon (Korean pancakes).
Cherry blossoms in Seoul bloom from late March to early April. For a crowd-free experience, arrive early in the morning at Yeouido Park or Namsan Park.
Tip: Rent a traditional hanbok (Korean outfit) and stroll through the historic Bukchon Hanok Village — your photos will be stunning!
One of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world, Victoria Falls is at its most powerful in spring! As the rainy season ends in March, the waterfall reaches its peak flow, with torrents of water crashing down in an awe-inspiring natural display.
For the best views, visit the Zambian side, where you can get close to the falls and feel the mist from thousands of cascading streams. Plus, this site offers the most Instagram-worthy angles. Want a breathtaking view? Take a helicopter tour!
Tip: For the bravest travellers, there’s the chance to swim in the "Devil’s Pool", a natural rock pool on the edge of the falls. This activity is only available under the supervision of experienced guides.
Spring in Japan is a true celebration. The country is covered in pink clouds of cherry blossoms, making every corner feel magical.
The best spots to enjoy the bloom include Ueno Park in Tokyo, the Kyomizu-dera Temple gardens in Kyoto, and the scenic Yodo River banks in Osaka. However, if you’d like to avoid tourist crowds, consider exploring Tohoku, a lesser-known but equally stunning region. In Nishi Park, illuminated cherry trees create an enchanting evening spectacle.
And, of course, spring in Japan is a paradise for food lovers. Visit the Tsukiji Fish Market, enjoy a steaming bowl of ramen in a traditional eatery, or indulge in a kaiseki dining experience — Japan’s haute cuisine showcasing the finest seasonal ingredients.
Tip: Arrive early in the morning to capture the cherry blossoms in the soft sunrise light before the crowds arrive.
