Most
people associate springtime travel with crazy parties like spring break, but
these five cities are perfect for visiting this season -- and will leave you
without the boozy side effects. These are some of our top cities to poke around
in while the weather warms up.
New Orleans
Mark
Twain once said "In America, there is New York, San Francisco, and New
Orleans. Everywhere else is Cleveland." In what's arguably one of the most
culturally unique cities in the country, it's easy to see what he meant. Of
course, it's the birthplace of Jazz and home of epic Mardi Gras celebrations,
but the city itself has much more depth than that, including legendary cuisine,
historic architecture, and a buzzing nightlife. Spring is one of the best times
to make your way to NoLa, not only so you can avoid the sweltering summer
temperatures, but also so you can take advantage of the New Orleans Jazz
Festival, French Quarter Festival, and Bayou Boogaloo.
Austin
The
capital city of the Lone Star State has a youthful, hip reputation that tends
to precede it. Sure, there's the massive SXSW Festival that brings the tech,
film, and music industries to the city in droves, but now that the crowds have
departed, a thriving local community remains. Artists and the creative
community are heavily supported, which has led many galleries, live music
venues, and art events to spring up all over the city. Avid outdoorsmen
appreciate the easily accessible nature, including miles of 193 miles of scenic
walking trails. Of course, the city's awesome restaurant, nightlife, and coffee
pub scene fall right in with the locals' jeans-and-T-shirt mentality. Timing
your visit before the city becomes sweltering during the summer months will
make it that much more enjoyable.
Berlin
For a
city that spent nearly half a century divided, Berlin has become one of the
most vibrant, culturally enriched, and affordable cities on the European
continent. Low rents have attracted a white hot art and music scene, and the
city's fantastic public transportation make it easy for anyone to get around
the spread-out metropolis. The food, from street carts to fine dining, is
arguably the best in Germany. Spring provides visitors with the perfect mild
temperatures for exploring Berlin's shop-lined boulevards such as
Kurfurstendamm and its varied neighborhoods like Charlottenburg and Prenzlauer
Berg.
Montreal
For a
city that spent nearly half a century divided, Berlin has become one of the
most vibrant, culturally enriched, and affordable cities on the European
continent. Low rents have attracted a white hot art and music scene, and the
city's fantastic public transportation make it easy for anyone to get around
the spread-out metropolis. The food, from street carts to fine dining, is
arguably the best in Germany. Spring provides visitors with the perfect mild
temperatures for exploring Berlin's shop-lined boulevards such as
Kurfurstendamm and its varied neighborhoods like Charlottenburg and Prenzlauer
Berg.
Barcelona
Barcelona
is Spain’s coolest and most modern city. Tourists pour from every corner of the
world to experience the town’s vibrant nightlife, excellent cuisine, beautiful
Gothic and one-of-a-kind Modernist architecture, and cutting-edge design scene.
This -- and the great springtime Mediterranean climate -- means you might find
crowds wherever you go, but it'll be worth it for sites like the bizarre
Sagrada Familia cathedral, world-class MACBA museum, hopping Barri Gotic
neighborhood, and unusual Parc Guell.
