Though it might not feel like it, spring has arrived across the world. The snow is melting, flowers are starting to bud and birds are chirping. March is nearly half over, and so it’s time to start thinking about some spring city breaks for 2011. This year, we’re thinking that the U.S. is the place to go, but the options are virtually endless in the United States for wonderful cities to see.
We’re sure you’ve been to New York and San Francisco, so instead, why not check out these six alternative spots for great spring city break destinations!
Chicago
The blooming tulips along the Magnificent Mile in downtown Chicago brighten up the Windy City after its long and brutal winter. The locals are out in full force once the weather gets nice – shopping, eating and socialising on the streets. Just make sure you plan your trip for late spring – warmth doesn’t descend on Chicago until May!
Austin
Spring is the perfect time to check out the bohemian, laid-back Texan capitol – before the heat of summer sets in. The lazy waters of Lake Austin (a reservoir of the Colorado River, right in the city centre) makes the perfect place for inter-tubing with a local brew under the sunshine.
