Are you tired of the bad weather, Blue Monday and the short days? Plan a fun city trip for this spring with the family, your partner or a good friend, for example. A moment to escape the daily grind and get a taste of the nice weather that comes with spring and summer. The nice thing about a city trip in the spring: your trip doesn’t have to be expensive! Because you travel before the high season, the prices for airline tickets and accommodations are relatively low.
For example, enjoy beautiful Eastern European cities such as Krakow, Budapest and Vienna.Flights to Budapest are offered in April and May for less than a hundred euros each way, if you only travel with hand luggage. Don’t wait too long to book your flight, prices may rise as demand increases. This article lists a number of nice destinations for you!
In search of the beauty of Eastern Europe
The Eastern European cities already mentioned are not only popular because of the relatively low price of airline tickets and accommodations. It is nice to stay here in the spring! On average, the temperature in Budapest, for example, is between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius in April. Are you waiting until May? In that case the temperature is even between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius. There is a lot of culture to be found in Eastern European cities. Enjoy the buildings with high-quality architecture, the many churches and the friendly people. You will also not be short of anything in the culinary field. The range of good restaurants is large in Eastern European cities.
To the sun in the south of Spain
While it sometimes rains in the spring in Eastern Europe, the chance is much smaller in the south of Spain. This also means that cities such as Malaga and Granada, for example, are very suitable for a city trip. The temperature here in spring is almost standard above 20 degrees Celsius. So you don’t need a thick sweater! Malaga in particular is a beautiful city that is still undiscovered by many. You can fly there from Amsterdam in about three hours. There is also a lot to see outside Malaga; head into the hills for a beautiful view of Marbella, for example. Take a drive there or leave the car for a beautiful walk.
Culinary enjoyment in Italian cities
A third option for a short break in spring: Italy! The country offers beautiful cities, where you can wander endlessly through narrow alleys. Take places like Venice, Florence and Milan, for example. You will find beautiful architecture, numerous typical Italian squares and enough shops to fly back to the Netherlands with a full suitcase. Also enjoy a really good cup of coffee in these cities, Italian pizza and of course fresh pasta. The Italians will certainly continue to surprise you on a culinary level. A good tip: combine different cities, for example by traveling from Milan to Florence by train. You can fly from Amsterdam to Milan and then return to the Netherlands from Florence.
