Best destinations in March

Tulip time in Holland

It doesn't necessarily have to be a beach holiday in March. One of the best travel destinations in March is the tulip region in Holland. When the tulips bloom in the Netherlands, it's a state of emergency. At least in some regions where spring is celebrated along with the tulips blooming. The most beautiful tulip routes in Holland here.

That helped us during our first Travel to North Holland so good that we were there a second time in the spring. The Dutch know how to stage their tulips. in the Keukenhof in Lisse A whole park is planted with tulips, which becomes a place of pilgrimage for thousands of visitors between March and May.

In the area of ​​the Keukenhof There are also tulip fields. These can be visited on a bike tour or from a boat trip on the canals. Such boat tours are offered by Keukenhof. If you have more time, you can do what we did and continue on to the north of Holland.

Tulips aren't just found in the fields or in Keukenhof Park in Holland. Every year, tulip growers organize a colorful parade with floats decorated with tulips, which lasts for three days.

We watched the floats being prepared in Sassenheim, looked at the finished tulip floats in Noordwijkerhout, and were at Bollenstreek flower corso from Noordwijk to Harlem. A great experience, where you can experience the spring! So why not make a holiday in March in the tulip paradise in Holland?

Destinations in April

In April, it is especially beautiful in the Mostviertel

There are many travel destinations in Europe in April. A beach holiday in April isn't necessarily among our top three. A holiday in Austria in April is lovely. The Austrian Mostviertel region is usually passed through on the way to Vienna or south to Slovenia or Italy.

Usually, the only thing you see along the way are the signs on the motorway indicating that cider is produced in the area south of Linz. It's worth leaving the motorway here for a few days or even hours to explore the area. beautiful destinations in the Mostviertel to look at. We were there a few years ago in the spring and have discovered a real spring paradise.

 

 

In the meadows of the Mostviertel region, ancient pear trees stand amidst the foliage, transforming the landscape into a magical scene between the end of April and the beginning of May: the white-blossomed pear trees give the region a pastoral and almost delicate appearance that repeatedly took our breath away, it was so beautiful.

And if you have enough time, you can, for example, stop at one of the wine taverns along the panoramic road and sample the cider with a delicious cold platter. One of our favorite holiday destinations in April is the pear blossom in the Mostviertel region.

Destinations in May

Monastic gardens in Lower Austria - Destinations in May

One of our favorite travel destinations in May is the monastery gardens in Lower Austria. We visited them in late spring – early June – but they are definitely worth seeing a few weeks earlier as well. You should allow plenty of time for this trip to fully appreciate the beauty and tranquility of these gardens.

Some offer wonderful views of the Danube as well as the Wachau (Melk), in others you can acquire knowledge about herbs (Geras Abbey) or revel in orchids (Klosterneuburg). But only when you have the necessary leisure to truly enjoy these gardens can you experience spring in a very special way.

  1. Dear Monika, dear Petar,
    I think it's great that you orient yourself to botany during your travels. I do this in a similar way, because I often choose the destination according to which animals I can observe on site. But actually, I really want to see the tulip blossom in Holland, because tulips are my favorite flowers. Let's see if I can find a free weekend.

    1. Dear Diana,

      Whenever possible, we try to make our trips in particularly beautiful travel times. That makes them more interesting and shows and makes the trips often unforgettable. Holland to the tulip blossom we can highly recommend. We have experienced it several times and still do not have enough of it. Worth it.

      Best regards,
      Monika

  2. What a nice idea to organize the travel year according to flowering times. The tulip blossom in Holland, I have already experienced - really great. Of course, the lavender blossom in France is also really nice. New on my list, thanks to you: the pear blossom in the Mostviertel - that sounds really great. Since I have to take a look directly into my calendar, if I do not get even this year still :)

    Best regards,

    1. Dear Nicole,

      I'm glad, if you like this article. It is often difficult to decide when a trip to a particular region is worthwhile. Blooming gardens and fields are certainly a good reason for that. We have tested and experienced the examples mentioned above. All three of us really liked it. We would be delighted if you came back just as enthusiastically from the Mostviertel as we do.

      Best regards,
      Monika

  3. Dear Monika, Dear Petar,
    very interesting article. We are considering whether we will make a trip to Holland in April. I would like to see the tulip fields, which have already inspired me as a child. I also find the Mostviertel exciting, I did not even know that. I would like to travel there. Thank's for the Tipps!
    Best regards, Ricarda

    1. Dear Ricarda,

      We can highly recommend both destinations. In Holland, we were even several times to the tulip blossom. This is a particularly colorful experience. However, this is also one of the main travel times in Holland. So there is a lot going on. Different in the Mostviertel. That is still a real insider tip. There you can spend a wonderful enjoyment weekend with good food, fresh pear must and in pleasant hotels that make the whole thing a real feel-good experience.

      Best regards,
      Monika

      All three trips have excited us. These are unforgettable experiences. It does not always have to be the south, although we like it too.

  5. I love the Keukenhof. At that time I discovered my love for tulips there. At that time I was cycling with the Dutch bike from Noordwjik. That was one of my best spring trips.

    1. We can understand that very well, Sonya. We have been to the tulip time twice in Holland, so we liked that :).
