If you’re craving sunshine but not looking to splurge, you’re in luck. KAYAK’s newly released Spring Savings Report has named Mexico City the most affordable warm-weather getaway this season. With average airfare at $416, hotel rates around $211 per night, and an estimated $1,471 total for a five-day trip, it’s an unbeatable deal for spring travelers.

May is the warmest month in Mexico City, with daytime temperatures hovering around 80ºF. Spring also brings a full calendar of events, including the Corredor Cultural Roma-Condesa, a lively festival celebrating design, food, fashion, music, and architecture in two of the city’s trendiest neighborhoods. Travelers in early May can also catch local observances of Cinco de Mayo, which includes historical reenactments and festive dining experiences throughout the capital.

Iceland

Thinking about a European road trip? You might want to look beyond the usual suspects like the French Riviera or the Amalfi Coast. According to a new study by Saga Car Insurance, which analyzed over 73,000 Reddit comments, the top road trip destination in Europe isn’t on the mainland at all, it’s tucked away in eastern Iceland.

The Stokksnes Peninsula claimed the number one spot thanks to its mix of black sand beaches, waterfalls, mountains, and prime Northern Lights viewing.

Hawaii’s Diamond Head hike is quicker, easier, and more beautiful than expected
What to know before hiking this famous crater
Diamond Head Hawaii

Diamond Head is one of Hawaii's most recognized landmarks, formed nearly 300,000 years ago during a single, explosive eruption. After the eruption, a saucer-shaped crater was formed as particles in the air settled and cemented together into tuff. Today, the Diamond Head Crater Summer Trail is one of Hawaii's most visited hiking trails.
