If you're a fan of winter activities, but are in need of some sun, then perhaps a May trip to Svalbard is in order.

如果你热爱冬季运动，又想晒晒太阳的话，五月去斯瓦尔巴特群岛再合适不过了。

It notes: 'The Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard is located about 620 miles south of the North Pole. In late spring, the sun never dips below the horizon - meaning you can sponge up all the Vitamin D you desire.'

美国《国家地理》杂志写道：“挪威斯瓦尔巴特群岛位于北极点以南大约620英里（约合997公里）。在晚春，白天太阳会一直在地平线以上，你可以随心所欲地晒太阳吸收维生素D。”

Popular activities in the area include hiking, iceberg kayaking and wildlife spotting.

徒步、冰山皮艇和观赏野生动植物都是该地区常见的活动。

Namibia 纳米比亚

During spring, Namibia is pegged as the perfect destination with reduced travel costs and cooler evenings.

纳米比亚被誉为春季的最佳旅行地，旅行花费少，晚上也更凉爽。

In late May, National Geographic Travel says that the watering holes start to dry up again, which lures giraffes and black rhinos from their hiding spots.

美国《国家地理》旅行版介绍说，五月末，水坑开始再度干涸，吸引着长颈鹿和黑犀牛从藏身之处走出来。

If you're more of an adrenaline junkie, head to the Namib desert for a spot of sandboarding on the dunes.

如果你正在寻找一生只有一次的旅行体验，杂志建议你去耶路撒冷，和数千名朝圣者一起庆祝复活节。

If the crowds get too overwhelming, visitors are told to take a gondola ride to King Herod's 2,000-year-old Masada fortress or set off on a peaceful morning boat ride across the Sea of Galilee.

如果人太多，游客可以乘坐贡多拉小船去参观有两千年历史的希律王马察达要塞，或者在一个安宁的清晨出发，坐船去加利利海航行。

Columbia and Snake River 哥伦比亚和斯内克河

To see North America's greatest concentration of waterfalls, head to the Snake and Columbia Rivers, which pass through Oregon, Idaho, and Washington.

如果想去北美瀑布最密集的地方游览，就去哥伦比亚河和斯内克河吧，这两条河流流经俄勒冈州、爱达华州和华盛顿州。

National Geographic Travel says that the waterway is best visited in spring when 'winter melt ensures a thunderous show'.

杂志称这些河流的最佳游览时节是春季，此时“冬季冰雪融化，景色颇为壮观”。

The Seychelles 塞舌尔群岛

The Seychelles are 'a lot more than seashells and tropical fish and powdery sand', says National Geographic Travel.

杂志称，塞舌尔群岛“不仅仅有贝壳、热带鱼和细沙”。

It highlights that the archipelago of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean is home to granite cliffs and 100-foot-tall palm trees, wild tortoises, and 275 species of birds.

杂志着重指出，位于印度洋的塞舌尔群岛共有115个小岛，这里有花岗岩峭壁和100英尺（约合30米）高的棕榈树、野生乌龟和275种鸟类。

4月份，信风的季节转换让你在大约29摄氏度的天气中还能感受到阵阵凉风，最适合去沙滩以及晚间户外用餐。

它推荐人们去麦德林市，这里被誉为“常春之城”，气候温和，巧克力热饮味道香浓，探戈舞俱乐部值得一游。

Panama 巴拿马

Costa Rica and the Caribbean often overshadow Panama, but travellers should consider checking the central American country out if they want a 'less-crowded paradise'.

哥斯达黎加和加勒比海经常让巴拿马黯然失色，但旅行者如果想去“人群不太拥挤的度假天堂”，就要考虑一下去巴拿马了。

Cash rich travellers are advised to book a swanky cabana in the Pearl Islands, but for the more budget-conscious there's always the option of 'roughing it' in tiny Santa Catalina on Panama's Pacific coast.

杂志建议资金充裕的旅行者在珍珠岛预订一个时髦的小屋，预算紧张的旅行者可以“因陋就简”，在巴拿马太平洋海岸的圣卡塔利娜小岛选择住处。

The travel site reveals: 'Here, horses are still the primary mode of transportation, the stargazing is exquisite, the Wi-Fi is delightfully shoddy, and local fisherman serve fresh seafood and plantains from their home kitchens for roughly $6 a plate.'

杂志网站上写道：“这里主要的交通运输工具还是马车，眺望星空让人沉醉，无线信号略微不佳。当地的渔民出售自家做的新鲜海鲜和大蕉，大约6美元（约合37元人民币）一盘。”

入选美国《国家地理》杂志2018年度最佳春季旅游目的地的还有加拿大福戈岛酒店、摩洛哥、马达加斯加和荷兰。
