With spring around the corner, ‘April showers’ aren’t far behind. For those spontaneous travelers looking to escape the rainy season, especially after a horrific winter, CheapOair has suggested the most colorful and happiest destinations around the globe to travel to. From Technicolor houses in Italy to flower-filled canals in France, the destinations are guaranteed to put a smile on any visitors face.
Burano, Italy
Located in the same lagoon as Venice, Burano is the brightest town in Italy. Legend has it that the town’s colorful roots come from its fishermen, who painted their houses in Technicolor so they’d be easy to see through the fog. So that’s how you get your family to agree to painting the house fuchsia. Touché Burano fishermen, touché.

Juzcar, Spain – AKA Smurf Town
I kid you not—the producers of The Smurfs movie talked the 250 people who live in this teeny, tiny town, to let them paint every single building blue. Bonus points if you make friends with Papa Smurf while you’re there.

Colmar, France
The capital of Alsatian wine, visiting Colmar is like stepping into a Disney movie of sunshine and rainbows. It’s filled with flower-lined canals, tiny boats, a nightly light show, and even a miniature train. A MINIATURE TRAIN! How. Cute. Is. That.

Oia in Santorini, Greece
Perched on a Santorini cliff top, this village is as charming as it gets.

Also, please jump into the Mediterranean, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants style. Thank you.
