Bled, Slovenia
CHRISTIAN KERBER
Lake Bled, located in the northern reaches of Slovenia near the Austrian border, is one of the best-kept secrets of eastern Europe. With a freshwater lake at its center, the region is awash with an enchanting, almost fairytale-esque beauty. In early spring, snow is still visible on the Julian Alps, but temperatures begin to rise, making it possible to hike up to Blejski Castle, or paddle around the lake in a traditional pletna boat. End your magical trip with a plate of delicious cremeschnitte, a traditional cream cake.

With its various trendy neighborhoods and abundance of budget-friendly activities, London is a classic European destination that people never get tired of visiting. But this spring, Colorado-based travelers get a leg up when United debuts its new Denver to London route. The daily, nonstop service connects two important international transit hubs (Denver International Airport and Heathrow) and launches on March 24. This month might also be your last chance to enjoy a relatively quiet London, before the madness of the royal wedding descends in May.
