Need some inspiration for a spring adventure? Here’s a selection of great experiences that are happening in the first half of 2016:

Celebrate King's Day in Amsterdam

Invite your friends to visit Amsterdam for Koningsdag (King’s Day), one of the most incredible days on the Dutch calendar. On April 27, the King's birthday, the Netherlands turns completely orange as everybody dresses in the national colour.

During this national holiday you will find flea markets, food stalls, live music, street parties, performances, party boats on the canals and - more than anything else - many, many happy people!

Run a marathon in Rome or London

Do you prefer sports activities? Is running a marathon one of your long term goals? Then make sure you're in Rome on Sunday, April 10!

The route of the Maratona di Roma starts at the Via dei Fori Imperiali and leads you along the most beautiful sights of Rome. Run past the Piazza di Spagna, the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, Saint Peter’s Basilica and Piazza Venezia.

Experience Karneval in Berlin

From May 13 - 16 it’s time for the Karneval der Kulturen in Berlin! Since its launch in 1996 this free, multicultural festival has been celebrating the diversity of the city, each year attracting hundreds of thousands of people to its parade and streetfest.

This four-day urban festival takes place in the neighbourhood of Kreuzberg, with hundreds of musicians, dancers, DJs and artists entertaining and inspiring the public with a wide variety of performances.

Join the Festas in Lisbon

Another special and fun local festival is the Festas de Lisboa. For the whole month of June the Portuguese capital is transformed into a huge festival mecca, culminating in city-wide parties and a parade on June 12 and 13.

The month-long celebration, when Lisboners pay tribute to the city, its citizens and patron saint Santo António, is one of the most important festivals of the year.

The festas include parades, concerts, markets, street parties, fireworks and wedding ceremonies, all held in different local neighbourhoods around town. Don’t forget to eat some of the traditional sardines while you’re there!
