    1. Dublin, Ireland<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Dublin<\/span><\/a> feels village-like and electric all at once. Visit in March and the energy is dialled up thanks to St. Patrick\u2019s Day. \u2618\ufe0f Officially celebrated on March 17, the festivities spill across the entire month, and it\u2019s honestly hard to imagine a better way to embrace Irish life. This is far more than a drinking holiday, as it\u2019s often mistaken for. At its best, it becomes a deeply cultural and family-friendly experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

    That said, there is still plenty of drinking, and much of it centres on the Temple Bar District, Dublin\u2019s bohemian quarter. A visit to the Temple Bar itself is almost inevitable. Established in 1840, it remains one of the world\u2019s most famous pubs. \ud83c\udf7b<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    2. Glasgow, Scotland<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Glasgow<\/span><\/a> is one of the liveliest places during spring in Europe, with a March events calendar that rarely lets up. The<\/span> Glasgow Film Festival<\/span><\/a>, running early in the month, is genuinely enjoyable even if you\u2019re not a film-festival devotee. \ud83c\udf9e\ufe0f In the month\u2019s second half, the<\/span> Glasgow International Comedy Festival<\/span><\/a> takes over, delivering big laughs and mixing international names with local legends. Every other year, contemporary artists also step into the spotlight at<\/span> Glasgow International<\/span><\/a>, a high-calibre art festival defined by an unmistakably local character.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Beyond the festival circuit, spring is when Scotland\u2019s parks and gardens bloom, framing castles that reopen after winter and making city walks especially appealing. \ud83c\udff0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Fly tip:<\/strong> If you\u2019re reaching Glasgow from London, taking the train is a great idea. High-speed services and scenic daytime routes make the journey easy. Another travel tip for the new year: move sustainably. \ud83d\ude84<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    3. Reykjavik, Iceland<\/b><\/h2>\n

    As Iceland eases out of winter in late March,<\/span> Reykjavik<\/span><\/a> wakes up again. Beyond exploring architectural landmarks like Hallgr\u00edmskirkja Church and pausing at cafes that feel especially welcoming after the colder months, brighter days also invite more time outdoors. You can cool off, literally, at Nauth\u00f3lsv\u00edk, a geothermal beach where the sea is bracingly cold, then retreat to the nearby hot tubs to warm up again. Late March still offers a strong chance of seeing the Northern Lights just outside the city. \ud83c\udf0c<\/span><\/p>\n

    For a deeper sense of Iceland\u2019s raw beauty, head to the UNESCO-listed \u00deingvellir National Park, where you can hike, snorkel, and walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates \u2014 yes, literally. \ud83e\udd2f<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    4. Venice, Italy<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Built across more than a hundred small islands, Venice<\/a> is one of Europe\u2019s true originals. Visit in February or March, just ahead of spring, and you\u2019ll find milder weather and a welcome easing of the crowds. This combination reveals a more intimate side of the Italian \u201cFloating City.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

    Springtime makes wandering on foot through Venice\u2019s maze-like alleyways especially rewarding. You\u2019re bound to find secret gardens coming into bloom and flashes of wisteria and mimosa softening stone facades and tucked-away courtyards. \ud83d\udc9c<\/span>
    <\/span>
    <\/span> Fly tip:<\/strong> Afraid of getting lost? Don\u2019t be. In Venice, losing your way is the experience, and often where the most memorable moments begin.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    5. Barcelona, Spain<\/b><\/h2>\n

    In the Catalan capital, timing makes all the difference. March and April are when you can explore historical sites, parks, palaces, and markets without the summer heat or, worse, peak-season crowds. In late April,<\/span> Barcelona<\/span><\/a> celebrates Saint George\u2019s Day, also known as the Day of Books and Roses. Flower stalls and booksellers take over the streets, and facades are decorated throughout the city. \ud83d\udcda \ud83c\udf39 The surreal architecture feels especially striking at this moment.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Not far away,<\/span> Valencia<\/span><\/a> marks the end of winter with Las Fallas, a festival in which artists create towering papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9 sculptures only to set them alight, a truly unique spectacle to see during spring in Europe. Meanwhile, in southern Spain, Granada and<\/span> Seville<\/span><\/a> blend Spanish culture with centuries of Moorish influence.<\/span>

    6. Lisbon, Portugal<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Lisbon<\/span><\/a> is made up of charming cobblestone streets that not just slope up and down its hills but are also lined with buildings decorated with striking tiles. In other words, it invites aimless wandering. In March and May, it\u2019s T-shirt weather, but not yet so hot that you wilt. It\u2019s an ideal time to seek panoramic viewpoints facing the Tagus River, explore the city\u2019s old quarters, and of course scoff custard tarts in cozy little pastelarias. \ud83d\ude0b More sunshine also means more opportunities for hunting vintage finds at flea markets and heading for a quick dip in the Atlantic on beaches near to the city centre.<\/span>

    7. Amsterdam, The Netherlands<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Amsterdam<\/span><\/a> is picture-perfect year-round, but it truly shines in spring, when tulip season arrives. With the country\u2019s most famous export in full bloom, there\u2019s even a festival to match: Amsterdam\u2019s annual Tulip Festival, which runs throughout April. \ud83c\udf37<\/span><\/p>\n

    Warmer, drier days are ideal for picnics in Amsterdam\u2019s leafy parks, tiptoeing through the tulips at Keukenhof Gardens, and, away from all things floral, strolling along the picturesque canals and 17th-century houses of trendy Jordaan. Of course, no visit is complete without sampling Dutch classics like a freshly made stroopwafel, those irresistible syrup waffles that always taste best in their native country. \ud83e\uddc7<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    8. Istanbul, Turkey<\/b><\/h2>\n

    With its opulent Ottoman palaces and mosques crowned with soaring minarets,<\/span> Istanbul<\/span><\/a> knows how to put on a show year-round. \ud83d\udd4c Still, the perfect time to visit this European city is between April and May. Tulips bloom across parks and squares, markets brim with seasonal produce, and the bazaars feel especially alive, stacked with carpets, Turkish delight, baklava, spices, and beautifully ornate coffee and tea sets. Best of all, you\u2019ll arrive before the summer crowds, when Istanbul moves at a more relaxed pace.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Fly tip:<\/strong> Hop on a ferry across the Bosphorus to the Asian side of the city, heading toward the hip Kad\u0131k\u00f6y Moda. Time the crossing for sunset, when the skyline softens and minarets glow. \ud83c\udf05<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    9. Paris, France<\/b><\/h2>\n

    In<\/span> Paris<\/span><\/a>, spring feels just right. \ud83d\udcaf In April and May, the Louvre and the Tuileries Garden feel lighter as nature comes back to life, and the weather is pleasant (think 50s\u201360s \u00b0F) for exploring the Seine\u2019s banks at length. Classic sightseeing spots like the Jardin du Luxembourg and the Trocad\u00e9ro Gardens offer calm, sun-washed spaces that are perfect for picnics, with cherry blossoms framing views of the Eiffel Tower in the latter. This is also the season to channel your inner Parisian at sidewalk cafes, lingering at outdoor tables and people-watching, decidedly one of the best things to do in Paris in any season. \ud83d\udc40\ud83c\udf77<\/span><\/p>\n

    Fly tip:<\/strong> For sports lovers, spring brings a bonus: the French Open in May is one of the great tournaments to check off the list for any tennis aficionado.<\/span>

    10. Lyon, France<\/b><\/h2>\n

    If Paris feels a little too busy,<\/span> Lyon<\/span><\/a> is just as easy to fall in love with. A true hidden gem, the city delivers just as much in the way of gastronomic credibility and architectural drama, but swaps grand Haussmann boulevards for winding old-town streets, colourful facades, and secret passageways.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Lyon is also the natural gateway to the Rh\u00f4ne Valley. By May, the weather is mild enough for exploring medieval villages and vineyards on foot, with Beaujolais vineyards to the north and the C\u00f4tes du Rh\u00f4ne extending south toward the Mediterranean. \ud83c\udf47<\/span><\/p>\n

    Fly tip:<\/strong> For an easy add-on, Dijon is a straightforward day trip by train from Lyon (or Paris for that matter), with journeys clocking in at around two hours. Come spring, Burgundy\u2019s capital wakes gently; parks turn green, and caf\u00e9 tables edge back outdoors.<\/span>

    11. Dubrovnik, Croatia<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Washed by the Adriatic Sea and enclosed by impressive limestone city walls,<\/span> Dubrovnik<\/span><\/a> makes a great alternative, or extension, to a Greece trip. \ud83d\udc4d Late spring is ideal for exploring its fairytale Old Town and taking a short boat ride to Lokrum, where gardens, olive trees, and quiet coves still feel serene. The season brings calmer seas, making it a great time to kayak around the city walls and soak in the scenery from the water. Dubrovnik is also an excellent base for road trips, including routes down to Montenegro\u2019s Bay of Kotor.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Fly tip:<\/strong> For even more fairytale scenery, head north to Slovenia, where late-spring meadows and postcard landscapes still feel blissfully uncrowded.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    12. Stockholm, Sweden<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Stockholm<\/span><\/a> welcomes wildflowers and longer, brighter days in late spring. That\u2019s when Kungstr\u00e4dg\u00e5rden fills with pink cherry blossoms. From early April, outdoor dining returns, bringing open-air seating back to restaurants and bars across the city. This creates plenty of opportunities to embrace the Swedish tradition of <\/span>fika<\/span><\/i>, a relaxed coffee break, best enjoyed with something sweet. \u2615\ud83c\udf70 The city\u2019s many parks are also fully open by this point, including the much-loved Gr\u00f6na Lund Amusement Park, which typically launches its summer concert series in mid-May. \ud83c\udfa1<\/span><\/p>\n

    Fly tip:<\/strong> Even in late spring, it\u2019s worth packing a light jacket or coat for cooler days.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Capturing memories in Europe in Spring<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Other spring destinations that shine in Europe include Poland in<\/span> East Europe<\/span><\/a>, where spring arrives slowly with blooming flowers and lush greenery, and Austria, especially Vienna, a city best known for its<\/span> winter allure<\/span><\/a> and<\/span> Christmas markets<\/span><\/a> but an equally rich bet for spring in Europe. Then there\u2019s Berlin, in Germany, where beer gardens and open-air events return, fuelling the city\u2019s ever-growing hip energy.<\/span>

    \u201cCLAUDIO AND BARBARA WERE AMAZING!! Could not speak more highly of them, Barbara was great at communicating throughout my whole booking process and Claudio was the one who took our pictures he was so calm even though my plans got changed last minute due to weather. He made me feel so calm despite of that and made our proposal perfect! He took us to the best places in Positano and I am so excited to see these pictures.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

    \u201cRoberta was phenomenal!!! She took incredible pictures of us and it was such a pleasure having her take our pictures. She\u2019s from Rome and shared some of her favorite sports with us. She was so good with our kids as well knew how to make them giggle and have fun! This was such a fun shoot and the pictures came out so well. Thank you Roberta!\u201d\n<\/p>\n
