#1. Keukenhof Gardens (Amsterdam, Netherlands)

The Netherlands is certainly one of our 5 best countries to visit in spring because of its Keukenhof Gardens. This is the largest flower garden in the world with over 7 million flowers. We recommend that you visit it in the spring because there are not a lot of tourists at this time. Moreover, springtime is when most flowers are in full bloom.

Interestingly enough, some of the blooms are unique. This includes the bushy blue blossom trees and the pink Madeira geraniums. So, if you want to see them, you need to go to the island.

#4. Namaqualand (South Africa)

Believe it or not, South Africa is another one of our top 5 vacation destinations for spring. Its flower route is full of wildflowers. On the one hand, this means that the germination of flowers is volatile. On the other hand, though, this allows visitors to witness new flowers each year.

#5. Yunnan (China)

Last, but not least, we recommend that you consider spending your spring vacation in Yunnan. It is not a coincidence that China’s hike, the Tiger Leaping Gorge, takes place exactly in Yunnan. Its canyon is 3,790 meters deep, which means that the scenery is mesmerizing. Nevertheless, make sure you go there in the spring because hiking can be dangerous during the wet season.
