Where to go for Spring Break - Best destinations

Submitted by Visit Plus on Tue, 01/10/2023 - 07:04

Probably all students are waiting for the start of Spring Break. We are excited about Spring Break just like you. It is one week when you can take a break from studying at the university, let go of worries, enjoy the freedom and get the opportunity to do what brings you pleasure. What are you planning to do on vacation?

We, as a travel website team, would suggest, for example:

  • Spend time on the shores of the warm sea, on the beach, go in for water sports.
  • Travel to a ski resort, go snowboarding or downhill skiing, or just spend a relaxing vacation in nature.
  • Or visit cities that you have long wanted to visit, see the sights, visit museums and theaters.

If you don't like to travel, then you might enjoy spending time at home with your family and old friends.

Expert opinions and advice

We have accumulated a large unsatisfied demand for travel. Spring Break 2024 could be the busiest ever, according to many travel experts. A lot of people are planning to travel this spring.

Crowds of travelers are inevitable, but there are good forecasts. Prices for flights and accommodation remain at the same level, and in some places they have even decreased slightly.

There is no doubt that prices will rise in February. You need to get ahead of everyone else and book your flights and accommodation as early as possible, now.

Spring break popular destinations

Popular destinations for spring break 2024:

  • Miami Beach, Florida.
  • Orlando, Florida.
  • Las Vegas, Nevada.
  • Cancun, Mexico.
  • Hawaii.
  • New York.

Most likely, many Americans will prefer short trips - trips to a region that can be reached in one day, preferably in their own car, rather than by plane.

Perhaps you are ready for a long journey? Maybe it's time to visit Europe? March is a good time to travel to Italy. (Rome, Florence, Venice, Naples!)

Travel expert advice

Plan your spring travels in advance. The longer you wait, the higher the prices and the fewer choices you will have. Others will overtake you.

If you have the opportunity to choose the time for your vacation, you should avoid this time. Choose a different time than the spring break period.

Here are some other tips from experienced travelers:
- Choose a less popular travel destination. While others are flying to Orlando and Cancun, go somewhere else. For example: Savannah, Georgia, South Carolina.
- Curb your wanderlust and stay home this spring. Save money and reschedule your trip to mid-May or early June.
If this doesn't suit you, then book your spring break with confidence and don't hesitate.

Where to travel for Spring Break? Two factors influence your choice.

  1. Your location.

    It is not necessary to go far to have a good time. Look for places near you so that you don't waste money and time on long trips.

    For example, on the west coast, this could be the ski resorts of Colorado or the west coast of Mexico.

    If you live on the east coast, then why not head to the beaches of Florida!

  2. What do you like to do?

    For lovers of a beach holiday, Cancun (Mexico), the Dominican Republic, Jamaica are suitable.
    Urban tourism can be very interesting: New York, London, Paris, Rome. (I was in Paris in March, and the weather was not the most pleasant. But in Rome, it was the other way around. It was beautiful spring weather. (But these are already long and expensive trips and can be too expensive.)

When is Spring Break in 2024? You need to check with your university/college. The spread of the coronavirus is forcing many universities to change the timing and length of spring break to reclaim school days lost due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But the peak periods of holidays and travel will fall on the period from March 8 to 24 in 2024, and for some the beginning of April. (Airport congestion may occur and popular resorts may be overbooked. Book early.)

Spring Break is more often associated with trips to places with a warm climate, such as Miami Beach, Daytona Beach, Panama City Beach, Cancun (Mexico), Punta Cana (Dominican Republic). It is unlikely that you need to come up with something special for yourself.
