The snow is melting, and slowly the sun is starting to appear from behind its cloudy shelter. This can only mean one thing: spring is upon us! Wanderlust-infused people everywhere are counting down the minutes until they can get away and explore somewhere new this time of year. We thought we\u2019d help out a little with a list of the top 5 city break destinations of spring 2016, complete with major landmarks to see, and some off the beaten track suggestions\u2026
\nLONDON<\/a><\/strong>
\n\"\"
\nMajor Landmarks: <\/strong>London Eye, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Hyde Park, Trafalgar Square, National Gallery, British Museum.
\nHoscar Winning Hostel: <\/strong>Wombat\u2019s City Hostel London<\/a> (Best Hostel in England)
\nHostelworld Recommends:\u00a0<\/strong>Of course if you\u2019re only in London for a short city break during spring you\u2019ll want to pack as much into your trip as possible. There\u2019s a lot to see, and so the bus sightseeing tours can be worth doing if you want to cover a lot of ground in a short space of time. But you\u2019ll save money by doing your own thing on London\u2019s excellent public transport. The main sites are great, but so are lesser known spots like the beautiful Hampstead Heath and Primrose Hill. Who could even dream of visiting London without some famous fish and chips, and taking in the view at one of the city\u2019s incredible rooftop bars like the Queen of Hoxton?! While you\u2019re there, do your taste buds a favour and swing by one (or more) of London\u2019s yummiest spots, such as Borough Market, Cereal Killer Caf\u00e9 or the legendary Beigel Bake.
\nBERLIN<\/a><\/strong>
\n\"\"
\nMajor Landmarks: <\/strong>Brandenburg Gate, Museum Island, Checkpoint Charlie, Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe
\nHoscar Winning Hostel: <\/strong>PLUS Berlin<\/a> (Best Extra Large Hostel Worldwide)
\nHostelworld Recommends:\u00a0<\/strong>You haven\u2019t lived if you haven\u2019t been to Berlin. It\u2019s one of the most historic and culturally diverse cities in Europe. There are so many great things to do<\/a>, like catching a stunning view of the city from one of our favourite rooftop bars, Klunkerkranich. As well as all the usual amazing museums, you can actually visit one that\u2019s dedicated to currywurst! Yes, you read that correctly! We definitely recommend checking out the East Side Gallery, which displays artwork once painted on the Berlin Wall. Swinging by Mauerpark is a must, especially if you\u2019re there on a weekend as the flea market hosts a famous karaoke night each Sunday. When it comes to nightlife, you\u2019ll struggle to find a better city that Berlin, with local favourite clubs like Berghain and Club der Vision\u00e4re always pulsing with energy.
\nAMSTERDAM<\/a><\/strong>
\n\"\"
\nMajor Landmarks: <\/strong>Ann Frank House, Canals, Rijksmuseum, Rembrandt House Museum
\nHoscar Winning Hostel: <\/strong>Shelter City<\/a> (Most Popular Hostel in Amsterdam)
\nHostelworld Recommends: <\/strong>What a city. Amsterdam will surprise you every day you\u2019re there. An essential item for your agenda is the insanely awesome street art on Spuistraat. Your Instagram account will thank you. Caf\u00e9 De Ceuvel is an ecological boat caf\u00e9 right on the river. It\u2019s made from recycled materials and serves fresh, organic, local produce. If you feel like a quaint outdoor meal, why not try Bohemian restaurant?! You just can\u2019t be bored in Amsterdam! There\u2019s a Film Museum, festivals galore and the exciting Amsterdam Roest, which always has various markets and warehouse parties going on. Finally, you\u2019ve got to try the coffee<\/a>. Seriously.
\nBARCELONA<\/a><\/strong>
\n\"\"
\nMajor Landmarks: <\/strong>La Sagrada Familia, La Pedrera, Museo Picasso, Casa Batl\u00f3,\u00a0 Las Ramblas,\u00a0 Barceloneta beach, Plaza de Espa\u00f1a, Plaza de Catalu\u00f1a, Boqueria market
\nHoscar Winning Hostel: <\/strong>St Christopher\u2019s Barcelona<\/a> (Most Popular Hostel in Barcelona)
\nHostelworld Recommends: <\/strong>Barcelona is a beautiful city, and while for many the most famous part is the football team, don\u2019t be fooled! There is so much more to see<\/a>. Start your spring off right at Boqueria Market near las Ramblas, which boasts a gorgeous array of flowers. Take a stroll through some of the city\u2019s most picturesque areas like the Gothic Quarter, Passeig de Gr\u00e0cia and the Park Guell. You can even pop to the beach for a little R&R on the sand, before experiencing the famous nightlife at the nearby bars. Whatever you do in Barcelona, we recommend renting a public bike as your easiest way to get around. It\u2019s reasonably priced and will help you soak in the spring weather!
\nROME<\/a><\/strong>
\n\"\"
\nMajor Landmarks: <\/strong>Colosseum, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Roman Forum, Piazza Navona, St. Peter\u2019s Basilica, Sistine Chapel
\nHoscar Winning Hostel: <\/strong>The Yellow<\/a> (Most Popular Hostel in Rome)
\nHostelworld Recommends:\u00a0<\/strong>They say that Rome is an \u201copen museum under the blue sky of Italy,\u201d and we think you\u2019ll agree. The history, the scenery, the architecture, the art, the food; we could go on! Go get some local cuisine. Try some carbonara (or gricia if you don\u2019t like the egg), pecorino, gelato and\/or (of course) the world famous pizza. YUM! Rome is constantly moving. New cafes are popping up all the time like Caff\u00e8 Letterario, and clubs like the Ice Club (near Fori Imeriali) are popular with locals. We also absolutely recommend checking out the Giardino degli Aranci and the Giancolo!
