The 7 most amazing places to travel to in March

You work hard; you save hard, so naturally you deserve a little escape. Here are seven awesome trips to consider for the month of March…

Whistler – British Columbia

If you’re a snow person, now’s the time to hit the slopes! Whistler, is just two hours north of Vancouver, has lots of fluffy powder plus awesome skiing at any level. While the winter months are close to freezing, March brings warmer temperatures and great skiing conditions. Hotels will also be a lot more affordable at this time of year when the tourists start to disappear.

Tokyo

Visiting Tokyo in March is kind of like a real-life fairy-tale. Everywhere you look, you’ll see gorgeous pink and white cherry blossoms and temperatures hover at a warm degree. If you’re a fish lover, the fish at the Tsukiji market are fresh and plentiful!

Washington DC

If you can’t make it to Japan, then consider Washington, which is in simultaneous bloom. The National Cherry Blossom Festival starts on March 20^th and the weather is great for exploring the monuments. When you need a break from all the sightseeing, check out the burgeoning food scene.

Punta Del Este – Uruguay

You might not think that Uruguay is a beachy hot spot, but that makes it the perfect choice for international spring jaunts. The town of Jose Ignacio is known for its boho vibe, gorgeous sand and amazing nightlife. Throughout March, you’ll find constant sunshine and high temperatures.

The Grand Canyon

Want to visit America’s famous natural wonder, but worried about all the annoying tourists? If you head to The Grand Canyon in early spring, you’ll beat the majority of the crowds but still be able to take advantage of all that outdoor goodness. Enjoy the amazing view along with hiking, rafting and camping under the desert skies.

Seville – Spain

With its beautiful gardens and cobblestone streets, Seville often feels like a quaint old town. Visit in March to witness Semana Santa, a holy week leading up to Easter, when the city is alive with parades, parties and music.

Turks & Caicos

Jet off to Turks and Caicos, which is known for gorgeous coral reefs and azure water. The plane tickets are cheap and the tourists are few, so get busy bathing suit shopping and then make your way to the beautiful Turks and Caicos.

Go on, get out of town this March!

The only downfall when traveling is the stress that comes with finding at affordable shuttle service that can take you to and from the airport. Airport Shuttle in Cape Town is a reliable, speedy taxi service that will get you to the airport comfortably and on time!
