šø Why Spring is the Best Time to Explore Europe Before You Move
If youāve got Europe on the brain, hereās a hot tip: spring is hands-down the best time to visit the places you're thinking about calling home. Not just for pretty photos (though there will be plenty of those), but for some very practical reasons too.
Hereās why:
1. Fewer tourists = real life glimpses. In spring, most cities arenāt flooded with vacationers yet. That means you get a more authentic feelāhow locals live, how busy public transport really gets, and what your potential daily routine might look like.
2. The weather is juuust right. You're not melting like you would in southern Spain in August, and youāre not dodging grey slush like in northern Europe in January. Spring gives you clear skies and crisp morningsāthe perfect combo for neighborhood scouting.
3. Itās rental listing season. In many European cities, spring kicks off the annual wave of apartment listings. Great time to explore neighborhoods, book viewings, or even line up a short-term lease for when you make the big move.
4. Outdoor life returnsāand itās telling. From local markets to cafĆ© terraces, spring brings people back outside. Watching how a neighborhood "lives" in the warmer months helps you imagine your own life there too.
Cities that shine in spring:
- Lisbon ā Breezy and full of color before summer heat kicks in.
- Bordeaux ā Wine country in bloom? Yes, please.
- Valencia ā Pre-summer warmth with fewer crowds than Barcelona.
- Aix-en-Provence ā A dreamland for market-lovers and art enthusiasts.
- Porto ā Walkable, affordable, and full of charm.
