Here are some of my favorites. Spring is my favorite time of year to visit Savannah. The blooming azaleas bring vibrant colors to Savannah. Ivica Gulija/Getty Images Savannah is one of my favorite cities in the world, and, in my opinion, spring is its best season to visit.The famous Spanish-moss-draped squares are framed by blooming azaleas in late March and April, and temperatures are typically in the 70s.I love wandering around the historic downtown for hours, and always recommend visitors spend a morning at Forsyth Park. Then, I like to drive 30 minutes east to Tybee Island for a beach day or to watch the sunset before the summer heat and humidity arrive. The springtime temperatures in Charleston are pleasant. Charleston is beautiful in the spring.

Emily Hart In my opinion, there's no place in the US quite like Charleston, and spring is a great time to visit.With pleasant temperatures typically ranging from the upper-60s to upper-70s, and easy access to several beaches (including my favorite — Folly Beach), the city is the perfect spring break escape.I always recommend visitors spend a day just walking around the historic downtown, French Quarter, and South of Broad areas, either on their own or on one of the many walking tours.King Street is a great place for shopping, and I like to grab a drink at one of the beautiful rooftop bars to take in views of the historic steeples. There are lots of spring festivals in New Orleans. In my opinion, there's never a bad time to visit New Orleans.

Emily Hart As someone who's traveled to New Orleans dozens of times, I don't think there's ever a bad time to visit.But with temperatures ranging from mid-70's to mid-80's, a robust festival schedule, and blooming flowers, I always love visiting in spring.I recommend spending time in the French Quarter, taking the streetcar to City Park and visiting the botanical garden, seeing a show at Preservation Hall, and maybe heading out of town for a few hours for a swamp tour. In my opinion, St. Louis is an underrated city. St. Louis is home to Gateway Arch National Park.

Its massive Forest Park is larger than New York's Central Park, and has free cultural attractions, including the St. Louis Zoo, St.

Louis Science Center, and St.

Louis Art Museum.I always recommend visitors spend time in the historic Soulard neighborhood, visit the Anheuser-Busch Brewery, and catch a Cardinals baseball game. With average temperatures ranging from the upper 50's to the upper 70's during the spring months, it's a great time to enjoy this historic city. If you're looking to spend time outside, I suggest checking out Moab, Utah. There's so much to do in Moab.

Emily Hart Moab, Utah, is an adventure lover's dream, with two national parks (Arches and Canyonlands) and two state parks (Dead Horse Point and Utahraptor State Park) nearby.Spend the day hiking or taking a scenic drive in the parks before heading back to Moab for shopping, breweries, and dining. There are plenty of hotels and short-term rentals, along with lots of camping areas.With high temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to mid-80s between March and May, this is the perfect time to visit the high desert. Even though spring is high season in Sedona, Arizona, I still recommend visiting. I love hiking in Sedona. Emily Hart I think Sedona has some of the most spectacular scenery in the country, and my favorite time to visit is in the spring.With high temperatures typically ranging from the mid-60's to mid-80s during the spring months, it's the perfect hiking weather — which is something you'll want to do a lot of here.Although Sedona's high seasons are fall and spring, there are plenty of trails, hotels, resorts, short-term rentals, and camping areas.I recommend spending time hiking, taking a scenic drive, visiting the shops in town, and visiting a winery in the area.
