Spring break is just around the corner and these are the most popular destinations American travelers are heading to this season.
This is evident from recent data from the travel booking platform HopperThese are the most booked destinations in the US this spring.
It’s not surprising that some of the top destinations this spring are in the Sunshine State. Florida has always been a hot spot for spring breakers.
Some of the other popular destinations are to the west and south.
These are the most popular American destinations for this spring:
1. Orlando, Florida
Orlando is a great destination to visit in the spring. The most popular attractions in Orlando are the theme parks, namely Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando.
As someone who has been to Orlando’s theme parks dozens of times, I have to say that spring can be an extremely busy time to visit, especially around the Easter holidays. My favorite time to visit Disney and Universal is in May when the spring break crowds have subsided.
Besides theme parks, there is of course plenty to do in Orlando. The Central Florida city is becoming known as a trendy destination for food, culture and nightlife.
2. Las Vegas, Nevada
The second most popular destination in the US this spring is Las Vegas. Las Vegas, nicknamed Sin City, certainly lives up to its reputation if you’re looking for a crazy spring break.
This city is known for its wild nightlife and casinos where you can try your luck all night long. But there’s another side to Las Vegas if that’s not your style.
Las Vegas can also be a family-friendly destination with plenty of entertainment and shows for all ages. There’s the underrated Arts District to explore and breathtaking nature like the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, just a short drive away.
3. Miami Beach, Florida
Miami Beach is the ultimate spring break destination. This beachside city is actually separate from Miami, but is just a short drive from Miami and connected by several bridges.
If you’re looking for a beach trip, Miami Beach is the place to be this spring. The main strip is lined with high-rise hotels and apartments, and the beach itself has white sand and clear turquoise blue water.
There are countless options for dining and entertainment, and for a dose of art and culture you can easily head to Miami at the Wynwood Art District or Little Havana.
4. Fort Lauderdale, Florida
The third city in Florida among the most popular destinations in the US this spring is Fort Lauderdale. Located about 30 miles north of Miami, Fort Lauderdale has become increasingly popular with spring breakers in recent years.
It’s a great alternative to Miami if you’re looking for a slightly different atmosphere. Fort Lauderdale tends to be more relaxed than Miami, and it’s easier to get around.
The Las Olas neighborhood is the best place to stay because you are close to restaurants, shopping and entertainment. The beaches in Fort Lauderdale are also excellent and spring is the perfect time for fantastic weather.
5. Nashville, Tenn
Finally, one of the most popular destinations this spring is Nashville, Tennesse. Nashville has become an incredibly popular destination lately.
Known as the country music capital of the US, the city is home to attractions such as the Grand Ole Opry and the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Nashville is also becoming known as a foodie destination (it’s a great place to try authentic Southern comfort food!) and you can’t leave without experiencing the crazy nightlife on Bourbon Street at least once.
