This document provides spring break destination recommendations in 3 cities: Washington D.C., Seattle, and Montreal. In Washington D.C., visiting in early April allows you to see the cherry blossom festival. Seattle offers outdoor attractions like Pike Place Market and Olympic State Park, as well as a revitalized music scene. Montreal differs from Toronto with its French influences, European architecture, and opportunities to see Cirque du Soleil performances.

2. As we slowly distance ourselves
from winter and entering into
the spring months, this season
does not pose a better time of the
year to head on a road trip that
won't necessarily break your
budget. For many vacation spots,
traveling in the spring can
actually save you a fair amount
of money because hostel/hotel
prices and sometimes tours are
generally more inexpensive
before the summer peak season.

3. Washington D.C.

5. Ask any local or D.C. goer
that frequents this
cosmopolitan hub, the prime
time of year to visit the U.S.
capital is without question
during the springtime,
specifically early April. The
main attraction in D.C. that
is one of the many reasons
that make D.C. such a special
place, is the perennial cherry
blossom festival that occurs
the first two weeks of April.

7. If you happen to get a bit
tired of appreciating
nature or of cherry
blossoms in general, be
sure to check out the
endless free museums that
range anywhere from The
Smithsonian, the Post
Office Museum and
interesting immigration
museums that allow you to
take a walk through the
history from even before
the Ellis Island era.

8. Seattle

9. Add heading
Recently known for its revamped folk music
scene, Seattle is an eclectic city which hosts
social hubs such as Pike Place Market, with over
200 restaurants and shops to a beautifully
designed Sky View Observatory where you can
see the skyline with the backdrop of the
mountains.

11. If you would like to explore
the surrounding area of the
city, the top spot to go is a
The Olympic State Park,
which is little over two
hours west. The Olympic
State Park, one of the most
beautifully complex
national reserves of the
country contains over
922,000 acres of high cliffs,
rocky shores and lush
forests with trees that may
resemble a Tim Burton
film.

13. Montreal

14. Drastically different from its
financial counterpart Toronto
that possesses more of a
cosmopolitan, New York City
feel, Montreal still acts as a
living and breathing French
city with its European
influenced architecture
adjacent to its cobblestone
streets. A cultural activity to
definitely look into during your
long weekend or a couple of
days in the city is to see a Cirque
du Soleil spectacular event that
initially got its start from this
French inspired town.

16. Before you tour the
town on your own, be
sure to look into la
TOHU, which
provides free tours for
visitors in the area, in
addition to free
artistic circus events
for everyone to revel
in the breathing
history of Montreal.
