Quebec City, Canada

Quebec City boasts a charm one could only find in one of the oldest towns in America. Imbued with history and surrounded by the only fortifications north of Mexico, it is truly a place like no other. Walking along its cobbled streets and narrow pathways one is surrounded by an Old France feel, a remnant of the past that has made Quebec city what it is today.

The Grand Canyon gets most of the attention, but it's far from Arizona's only natural wonder to leave you breathless at its beauty.

Arizona’s cities and towns are a delightful mix of sprawling urban centers, tiny charmers, historic haunts and cultural gems. Each one offers a treasure trove of distinctive experiences worth discovering. Old West towns invite you to walk the streets of Arizona’s boisterous frontier past.

There is always something new to discover in Paris beyond the legendary sights and museums we all know so well. This fabled city has a way of getting under your skin and feeling instantly familiar to all who wander her hypnotic streets and linger at her inviting cafes.

Washington DC, USA

Think big in Washington–as soon as you arrive in D.C., you’ll be knocked over by the scale of the place. America’s capital wants you to know where you are, and the city goes all out to impress in terms of grandeur and size. Drama and scandal bubble under the surface, while the streets are abuzz with hip and happening events, museums, restaurants, and clubs around every corner. The principles of Equality, Justice, Life, and Liberty are still upheld, but D.C. is, above all, a trendy and international town.

New Orleans, USA
Alternative Spring Break Travel Destinations | Spring Break Travel | Keytours Vacations

Festivity carries in the air as much as the sounds of saxophones and trumpets in New Orleans. It is a constant celebration of the human spirit, from the ever-lively Mardi Gras and Carnival to the breathtaking and historic tombs draped in oak canopies and Spanish moss. It is a city going through a kind of rebirth after the destruction of Katrina, reconstructing whole neighborhoods, but it has lost none of its charm, its spark, its magic, its people's inextinguishable joie-de-vivre, none of what makes it a unique city in the United States and in the world. Steeped in cultural references, first-time visitors will feel somehow familiar with the city, and never want to leave

Barcelona, Spain
Alternative Spring Break Travel Destinations | Spring Break Travel | Keytours Vacations

Impressive architecture and hip restaurants meet sunny Spanish climate and beaches. This has transformed Barcelona, in just a few decades, from a rough port city into one of Europe's — if not the world's — premier destinations. Stroll along La Rambla and Passeig de Gràcia, admire Gaudí's masterpieces, visit the colourful Market of la Boqueria, lose yourself in the Gothic Quarter, bask in the sun at Barceloneta beach, and discover some of the city's vibrant late-night haunts while you're at it.

Peruse lively souks and take a scenic ride on a traditional Abra boat across Dubai Creek. You’ll visit the heritage area of Bastakiya and the 225-year-old Fort Al Fahidi. Explore the iconic Burj Al Arab hotel, an establishment of unmatched luxury, and stop for photos next to Jumeirah Mosque.
