According to Airbnb, key trends for the 2025 spring season indicate a rising interest in cultural immersion, solo travel, pet-friendly getaways, and unique destinations. Solo travel searches have surged by 90% for spring 2025 compared to last year, with many travellers opting for 'soft travel'—slower-paced trips that emphasise leisure and well-being. Top trending destinations this spring, based on increased searches since spring 2024, include Amsterdam (Netherlands), Basel (Switzerland), Cologne (Germany), and more. For further details on spring travel trends, please refer to the Airbnb report released on 26 February 2025, via the link on the left-hand side of the platform.
