Not everyone knows that the arrival of spring is a visual spectacle in Washington D.C., the U.S. capital, thanks to the thousands of cherry blossom trees that adorn much of the city. These blossoming trees in the Potomac River's Tidal Basin are incredibly majestic and a sight to behold.

Going to Stockholm in spring or summer means contemplating its magnificent parks and gardens at their best. However, it is a must to go to Skansen (the open-air museum), get lost in its old town, visit Drottningholm Palace (seen above), or celebrate the stillness of the forest cemetery (Skogskyrkogården).

Seoul is another fantastic addition to any travel destination list.
In Spring, cherry blossoms pile up in Yeouido Park (seen above) or Seokchon Lake, which is an indescribable delight.

Visitors to Devon should not miss Dartmoor National Park, the subway caves of Kent Cavern, or Torre Abbey. And for a special touch, be sure to visit the Lundy Island Nature Reserve; it's pure magic.
In winter, it's quite cold, and in summer, the heat is suffocating. The solution? Visit in spring or fall, of course! The native architecture, the hypnotic gardens, and the boutique hotels make every visit to Marrakech a unique and unforgettable experience.

Majorca is an unparalleled island, poised and ready to unveil its pristine and tranquil atmosphere.
Mallorca has the charm of its beaches, the intimacy of its coves, and the romantic air of its fishing villages, especially beautiful in spring and fall, before the heat and the tourists arrive.
For an active getaway, the 'Pearl of the Atlantic' is perfect for adventures such as hiking to Pico Ruivo, the highest peak on the island at 1,500 meters.
Those looking for something more relaxed from the tranquility of the sea to the exquisite cultural offer of Funchal, with monuments such as the Sé or the Museu da Quinta das Cruzes.

And in case you didn't know, Disneyland now also includes 'Pixar', 'Marvel' and 'Star Wars', so there's themed fun for the whole family.
It is impossible to go wrong in Tokyo in spring. When the good weather arrives, thousands of cherry blossoms bloom all over the city, attracting international visitors and kicking off month-long festivals.
To enhance this dreamy feeling, nothing like a picnic under the clouds of pink petals in Ueno Park, or a walk along the Nakameguro canal on the Meguro River, all with Mount Fuji in the background.
The "City of 100 Towers" is pure bohemian beauty. Entering Prague is like stepping into a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, and getting lost in its streets is like navigating through music, history, art, and architecture.
Of course, culture does not satisfy hunger, so do not miss the opportunity to eat in a classic tavern or have a craft beer in one of its historic pubs. Leisure, culture, gastronomy, and beer, is there really a better city trip than that?
Last but not least, it is time to visit Florence, where Renaissance art floods the city in the "Galleria dell'Accademia", filled with works by Michelangelo and other timeless artists.
The nerve center of the city is the Ponte Vecchio bridge, seen above. Piazza Santo Spirito is a paradise of expensive taste for those who prefer shopping. And for dining, no problem; any restaurant in Florence will dine to your Italian heart's content.
