Spring Travel Inspiration with Collette

As spring emerges with a burst of colors, warmth, and new beginnings. It's the perfect time to switch it up and visit new places. Grab coffee with a friend… at a café in Paris. Take a morning walk… along rows of Dutch windmills and tulips. Sip on a glass of wine… in California’s Napa Valley. Check out these destinations that take your experiences from ordinary to extraordinary.

Exploring the Alpine Countries
Say “hello” to Switzerland from the top of Mount Pilatus. At over 7,000-feet above sea level, crisp mountain air surrounds you as the world’s steepest railway takes you to the top of the summit. Grab a bite to eat, take in the mountain views, and pick out a souvenir before heading back down on the panoramic gondolas. Explore closer to sea level in the alpine region as you stroll through the Mirabel Gardens in Salzburg. Sing along at the iconic sites from The Sound of Music and take time to do some of your favorite things!

Netherlands, Belgium & France
Dutch windmills, fairytale canals, and the “City of Light” are the perfect combo if you’re wishing to get an eclectic taste of Europe’s offerings. And with an expert Tour Manager to help you get into all the best spots, you’ll be sitting in a local brewery or tasting the best of Belgium’s chocolate in no time! See Amsterdam the way it’s meant to be seen – by canal on a private boat. Sit down at a local Dutch restaurant and learn how the community benefits from the restaurant, A Beautiful Mess. Don’t forget to say “oui” to ending your week with some iconic sight-seeing in Paris.

California Dreamin': Monterey, Yosemite & Napa
Turn your California dreams into a reality as you make your way around the Golden State. Start your day in a casual way… at Yosemite National Park. See the Sierra Nevada Mountains from Lake Tahoe. Stand in awe before El Capitan – after all, these are far more than just names of Mac software updates. What do you say? It’s time to raise a glass to new friends and memories in Napa Valley’s iconic vineyards and say “cheers” to California dreaming.

Now, that's what I call switching up the daily grind! Everything is better when you switch up the view. So, where to, traveler?
