Spring Vacation
Spring is a beautiful season. Everything begins to bloom again, and temperatures slowly start to rise. This also increases the desire to travel for many. In Edinburgh, the legendary Beltane Festival takes place every year on April 30. In the Celtic calendar, May 1 was considered the first day of the year, and it is still celebrated today with a massive fire spectacle.
If you're planning a long-distance trip, Japan is a must-see in spring. It’s famous for its delicate pink cherry blossoms. If you want to admire the beautiful cherry trees, March and April are ideal travel months.
Summer Vacation – The Peak Travel Season
There are many options for a summer vacation. While some prefer exciting city trips, others love to relax by the sea. If you love sandy beaches, Sardinia is a must-visit destination. The island offers dream beaches and plenty of culinary delights. Plus, it's very accessible by car.
The same goes for Croatia, a classic vacation spot for many families—and rightly so: besides crystal-clear waters, the country offers a wide range of leisure activities.
The Greek islands are among the most popular travel destinations in Europe. If you prefer a vacation off the beaten tourist path, our editorial tip for summer is the island of Samothraki. This small but charming island offers untouched nature and everything your heart desires: relaxing beach holidays and plenty of activities like kayaking, diving, or snorkeling.
Austria also has many beautiful places that offer not only beach holidays but also hiking and active vacations.
The Golden Season: Autumn
City trips in autumn are especially lovely. Trees turn colorful, and the temperatures are still pleasant. After the summer rush, you can explore your chosen city in peace. And: you don’t have to travel far. Europe offers many beautiful and worthwhile cities. Whether soaking up the sun in Lisbon or indulging in culinary delights in Rome—everything is possible. Autumn also brings many events, such as Oktoberfest in Munich.
Of course, autumn is also ideal for long-distance travel. New York City is a classic when it comes to city trips. On November 3, 2019, the world’s largest marathon—the New York City Marathon—takes place there. For sun lovers, there are also plenty of destinations ideal for autumn travel. One of them is Bali: with its beautiful beaches and diversity, the Island of the Gods is always worth a visit.
Winter Vacation
Austria offers unforgettable ski and wellness vacations during the cold season.
Editorial Tip: Alternatively, Finland and Norway are also ideal for skiing. The Blue Lagoon in Iceland is an exciting travel destination and perfect for a wellness vacation with its hot springs. The spectacular Northern Lights are another reason to visit these countries.
