Must visit for May: Damascus
Romance your partner in Syria's vibrant capital city and explore this undiscovered spring break gem
May is such a temperamental month. One moment it's sunny and spring-like, the next you're smacked in the face with an arctic wind and, wait for it, a snow flurry. It's easy to forget that summer's just around the corner (well, that is, if it ever arrives).
So if you're looking to escape the wintery blues, and we recommend you take your sweetheart along for good measure, try this lovely romantic spring escape, courtesy of Black Tomato www.blacktomato.co.uk. It'll remind you exactly why May is always billed as such a flowery, love-filled month.
For an exciting and romantic pick-me-up in springtime, look no further than Damascus. Why? Well, it's simply our favourite undiscovered spring break gem. Reliably warm weather makes it awfully tempting and then, of course, there's the mysterious and oh-so-alluring culture. In Syria's vibrant capital city the spices are fragrant, the silks are rich and deep, the jewellery jingle-jangles and the people are some of the friendliest around.
Visit the old town
The labyrinthine cobbled streets of Damascus' old town are alive at all hours of the day and night with a buzzing street life that begs your involvement. From the richly fragrant spices to the roving fortune tellers and brightly-clad performers, you'll find a wealth of cultural entertainments to occupy you.
