Springtime Serenade: Top Destinations to Blossom in 2024

Dominica

The worlds longest cable car ride, which will transport visitors 6.6 kilometres from the Roseau Valley to the scorching waters of the Boiling Lake—a massive flooded fumarole in Morne Trois Pitons National Park—opens at the beginning of the year in Dominica. Its a fantastic introduction to an island rich in wildlife and greatly underestimated wildness.

Khiva, Uzbekistan

Khiva, a city on the Silk Road, will formally become the Tourist Capital of the Islamic World in March of 2024. Not to mention that a new high-speed rail network connecting it to the rest of Uzbekistan in 2024 makes it an excellent time to come. Throughout the year, keep an eye out for gastronomic and dance events.

Georgia

With Georgian Airways resuming direct flights between London Gatwick and Georgias capital for the first time since the epidemic, spring is a great time to get acquainted with the citys unique architecture, rich wine culture, and elaborate bath houses.

Malta

The Grandmasters Palace in Valletta, which was recently repaired and reopened with much fanfare, will serve as the principal location for the first-ever Malta Biennale, which brings contemporary art to Malta from March to May. Historic sites are dispersed throughout the islands with exhibitions, providing many reasons to investigate.

Texas, USA

Celebrations are underway across the continent in anticipation of the April 8th North American eclipse, but one of the biggest—as with most things in Texas—will take place in Burnet, just outside of Austin, where the four-day Texas Eclipse Festival (5–9 Apr) combines art, music, talks, and the eclipse itself.

Brno, Czechia

Once again, visitors can explore the enormous underground water tanks in the Žlutý kopec area of Brno, which are brick reservoirs of astounding size. For the greatest of underground Brno, combine with a trip to the ossuary under St. Jacobs Square.

Germany

In addition to a major new exhibition at Bonns Bundeskunsthalle (Kant: Unresolved Issues, through 17 Mar.) honouring his contribution to the Enlightenment, the 300th birthday of German philosopher Immanuel Kant (22 April) will be celebrated in 2024 with the opening of a new museum in Lüneburg devoted to his life and work.
