Spring (March – May)

Kyoto, Japan
Spring in Kyoto is magical. The city is transformed into a sea of pink as cherry blossoms bloom across parks, riversides, and temple grounds. Take a serene walk along the Philosopher's Path, where petals float on the water, or head to Maruyama Park for Hanami festivities under the blossoms. Kyoto’s historic landmarks, such as the Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Nijo Castle, become even more breathtaking with the addition of the blooming flowers. Mild temperatures make it pleasant to explore on foot, adding to the season's charm.

Amsterdam, Netherlands
Amsterdam comes alive in the Spring and the thriving tulip fields are the season's crowning gem. Venture to Keukenhof Gardens for a kaleidoscope of colours with over seven million blooms on display. Back in the city, enjoy sunny yet crisp days perfect for cycling along the iconic canals or hop on a boat tour. Spring also hosts the vibrant celebration of Kingsday in April, when the streets are transformed into a sea of orange with music, food, and festivities.

Summer (June – August)

Santorini, Greece
Arguably one of the dreamiest summer destinations, Santorini dazzles visitors with its striking contrast of white architecture against the deep blue of the Aegean Sea. Spend your afternoons lounging on unique beaches with volcanic sands, like the Red Beach or Perissa. For history buffs, the ancient ruins of Akrotiri offer a fascinating glimpse into a Minoan civilisation.

Banff, Canada
Summer unveils the full beauty of Banff National Park. The glittering blue waters of Lake Louise are perfect for kayaking, while Moraine Lake offers picture-perfect scenes at every turn. Hiking trails like Tunnel Mountain reward trekkers with sweeping views of the valley. Wildlife thrives here, with chances to spot elk, bears, and mountain goats, making every outing an adventure. Visit the Banff Gondola for a bird’s-eye view of the Canadian Rockies and wrap up your day soaking in the soothing waters of the Banff Upper Hot Springs.

New England, USA
Autumn in New England is truly magical. The air is cool and seems to be filled with the comforting scent of apples and cinnamon, while the trees burst into bold shades of red, gold, and orange, transforming the landscape. Wind through scenic routes like the Kancamagus Highway in New Hampshire or explore Vermont’s charming countryside towns. You can roam apple orchards, filling your baskets with freshly picked fruit, while nearby pumpkin patches offer nostalgic family fun.

Tuscany, Italy
Tuscany in autumn is synonymous with the harvest season. Vineyards and olive groves buzz with activity, offering wine-tasting tours and opportunities to participate in grape harvesting. Medieval towns like Siena and San Gimignano are less crowded during this time, allowing for a relaxed exploration of their cobblestone streets and historic squares. Truffle hunting in the forests and savouring hand-rolled pasta infused with fresh truffles are just some of the experiences not to be missed.
