The Top Destinations for May Day Weekend

Oh May! We’ve only just got through Easter and we’re already planning another trip. In Europe this is a dream season for travelers.

The mild weather leaves us no other option: we have to take off. Pack your sundresses and favorite t-shirts; it’s time to go see the world.

There is only one question… Where to go? What is the perfect destination for the May Day bank holiday?

But before giving you an answer, we need to know something. What images come to mind when you think of this wonderful month? In our case it’s four things: a stroll through a garden, a barbeque with friends, the first dip of the season, and a love story.

Follow us. We’ll take a trip through the best May has to offer.

 The city for a garden stroll: Granada

Granada is even lovelier in the springtime. A good mood will guide you through its distinctive streets, and up towards the grounds of the Alhambra; one of Europe’s most beautiful gardens. This is the place to delight the springtime and feel as in an oneiric movie. Daydream, relax, and just smile.

The city for a picnic: Lisbon

As if Lisbon itself wasn’t enough, Monsanto Forest Park will take your breath away. The perfect enclave to relax and have a good picnic with the family, or with your love interest. Away from the crowded city center, the views here are just amazing. If you love nature, you’ll find it all around you here. Leave all worries aside for this moment.

True relaxation is at your fingertips by just booking an apartment such as this one:

The city for the first dip of the year: Crete

 

Swim in the deep blue and kick off the new season. The beauty of this stunning Greek Island is yours to enjoy well before the tourists get there. Let the colors convey the positivity that has always characterized this land.

Experience it for yourself in an apartment like this one:

The city for a love story: Florence

Springtime never fails to remind us that it is time to love. Whether looking for new romance, or taking time off to spoil your partner, every corner of Florence conveys romanticism. Start the day off buying flowers, wander down the Ponte Vecchio, fall in love. Kisses have never held as much romance as the one’s you’ll be giving your lover in Florence.
