Spring is the savvy traveller's secret weapon. The weather is warming, the crowds haven't arrived, and hotel rates sit in the sweet spot between winter lows and summer peaks. From Tokyo's cherry blossom season to Provence's lavender fields, these are the destinations that come alive in March, April, and May.

Cherry Blossom Season

Japan in late March to mid-April is one of the world's great travel experiences. Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka transform under clouds of pink sakura. Hotels book out months ahead — plan early.
