After the brutal winter many Americans have gone through, spring can't come soon enough. But for those looking to avoid spring break crowds or the throngs of people who flock to popular cherry blossom destinations like Kyoto, Japan, and Washington, D.C., we have some ideas for you. After all, spring is a shoulder season, which means great deals and fewer crowds in many destinations. From late-season ski trips to adults-only spring break ideas to other places blooming with color, here are nine under-the-radar spring destinations worth booking a trip to in the coming months.
The Danish capital is also an unexpected cherry blossom destination: Home to 200 of the fluffy, pink trees, Langelinie Park near The Little Mermaid statue hosts an annual Sakura Festival (April 18 to 19) complete with drum shows, folk dancing and martial arts demonstrations.
It will also be warm enough to enjoy a day at Tivoli Gardens, Europe's second-oldest amusement park, which opens for the season March 27. Prefer to take it slower? Go for a leisurely canal boat tour or rent a kayak and explore on your own (rentals reopen May 1).
