Europe Spring holidays

The world's best holiday destinations are typically broken into summer and winter, but what about the beautiful in-between, when temperatures are mild, crowds are still low and landscapes are painted with emerging blossoms? Spring holidays take advantage of these gentler offerings and provide a relaxing way to see places you have always dreamed of.

Marvel at Italy's lakes, such as Lakes Orta, Como and Maggiore, or uncover the lesser-known region of Puglia under idyllic sunny skies. Experience Southern Italy & Sicily without summer's heat; venture into Catalonia, where the coasts are still a tranquil haven; or savour the Flavours of the Dordogne while surrounded by fresh greenery. Backed by more than five decades of expertise, each itinerary departing in March, April or early May captures spring's renewed beauty while providing the quintessential Great Rail Journeys experience.  

Don't wait - our most exceptional holidays are booking fast for spring 2027.

Fewer Crowds

Take time to capture the perfect photo, linger at a viewpoint or enjoy sitting in a piazza with fewer tourists disturbing the atmosphere when you travel during spring. This early in the travel season, peak crowds have yet to arrive, lending a relaxing undertone to your travels.   

Ideal Temperatures 

Nestled in the sweet spot when the heat of summer has not overtaken the land and winter's chill is a thing of the past, spring sets the stage for comfortable travel. Enjoy longer days and mild temperatures, whether exploring the history of a great city or the great outdoors.

Blossoming Landscapes

Every season leaves its mark on the landscape, yet travelling in spring offers a breathtaking juxtaposition as nature's renewed beauty starts to come into focus. The vineyards of the Dordogne region emerge once more, and stunning landscapes are coloured back to life with early-season blossoms.
