A city break? For spring? Groundbreaking. Let’s hope Miranda Priestly will forgive the cliché, as the facts is, nothing beats a crowd-free city break in spring.

Porto
Long weekend sipping port in Porto? Sign us up. This Portuguese pocket has been making all the award lists lately and it’s time you experienced its charm too.

Krakow
The second-biggest city in Poland is a beauty any time of the year, but there’s something irresistible about the blooming season here. As the trees and flowers come back to life after the frigid winter, Krakow’s cobblestone streets and grand squares do too.

Bergen
If you’re less about landmarks and more about landscapes, a Bergen city break is your match. Available only in April and May, this rare getaway includes a fjord tour and a ride on the bucket-list Flåm Railway too. And yes, the views are as amazing as you think.

Athens
Don’t fancy hiking up to the Parthenon in the melting-hot weather? We get it. That’s why a balmy Athens spring break is just the ticket – you can visit all the top sights without breaking a sweat (or catching other people in your pictures).

Reykjavik
Another winter-to-spring exclusive, Reykjavik city breaks are for the adventurers looking to go off the beaten track. Your city break will come equipped with a Northern Lights tour, so you’re all set to experience the best bits of Iceland.

Rome
Walks in Trastevere, throwing pennies in the Trevi Fountain, stepping into the Pantheon, all with the Colosseum hiding just around the corner? Any time is a good time to experience Rome. And blooming spring might just be our personal favourite.

Prague
Flight under two hours? Light-jacket weather? Intricate architecture and trendy neighbourhoods? A Prague spring break really covers it all. The beer spas and cheap-as-chips pints are calling…

Marrakech
Can’t wait until summer to pull out shorts and t-shirts from the back of the wardrobe? Jet off to Marrakech, where the sun will bless you with its warm presence up to ten hours a day. The temperature bar lingers around the lower twenties too.

Barcelona
Shop, eat, sightsee, repeat – how does a routine like this sound? That’s the way of life in Barcelona any time of the year, but the crowd-free snaps of the Sagrada Familia and walks up the blossoming Park Güell sound particularly enticing, right? That’s only the beginning of the list of reasons you should go in spring…

Paris
Yes, Paris is always a good idea, but it’s an even better one in springtime. The mild temperatures make walks along Seine a delight, plus it’s already warm enough to have your morning croissant out on the artsy French streets.
