Ascension Day: Thursday, May 29th—nice to stretch into a 4-day weekend!

Best Month to Travel to Slovenia in 2025: May Magic
Slovenia, Europe’s best-kept secret, is at its absolute best during May. Spring brings pleasant temperatures (15-20°C), blooming wildflowers, and fewer tourists at Lake Bled and Ljubljana. Paddle the green waters of Bled or walk the capital’s charming streets—May’s perfect weather is every outdoor lover’s heaven.
Our ettholidays.com[Link to Slovenia Package Page] Slovenia holiday in May 2025 offers Swiss holidaymakers a hassle-free holiday, with flights, accommodation, and guided tours included. Pair it with Ascension Day for a bank holiday weekend! Discover more about European holidays with us at ettholidays.com/slovenia-package and discover why May’s the month to book.
South Africa 2025: Why May is Special
South Africa’s diverse landscapes—Johannesburg’s city vibe to Cape Town’s ocean scenery—are year-round draws, but May of 2025 is special. Chilly, dry weather (18-25°C) is perfect for Kruger National Park safaris and Cape Town hikes. Fewer tourists mean improved animal spotting and lower rates than in high summer.
Our CHF 4400 Switzerland tour package to South Africa departing May 2025 includes it all—Johannesburg, Pretoria, Kruger, Durban, and Cape Town. Learn more about this tour package in our pillar blog, Ultimate Guide to South Africa Tour Packages in 2025: Johannesburg to Cape Town, and reserve on ettholidays.com/african-holidays/african-package. Keep in mind blogs like Best Time to Visit Kruger National Park for more tips!
Best Time to Visit Japan in 2025: Spring or Autumn?
Japan’s seasonal beauty does not skip 2025. Cherry blossoms come out in March-April—ideally around Good Friday (April 18th)—and October-November is stunning with autumn leaves, coinciding with shorter Swiss holidays. May is shoulder season with pleasant weather, ideal to beat the rush at Tokyo shrines or Kyoto temples.
While we have not yet offered Japan packages to provide, ettholidays.com specializes in European international holidays. Check out our May 2025 South Africa and Slovenia options instead—created for Swiss tourists looking for value and convenience. Check out Japan National Tourism for solo travel tips!
Best Time to Travel to India in 2025: Chilly Climates Dominate
India is so vast that season varies by region. November-February is best for the north—Delhi, Rajasthan, and the Taj Mahal—when the 15-25°C temperatures are equivalent to Christmas holidays. South India (Kerala, Goa) is nice all year, but May (30-40°C) heat is best avoided.
For a more enlightened May break, book our Slovenia or South Africa holidays at ettholidays.com. From CHF 3700, they’re perfect for Swiss visitors—no visa hassles or do-it-yourself aggravation. See more at ettholidays.com/african-holidays/african-package or Incredible India for details of India.
Best Time to Visit Canada in 2025: Summer or Fall?
Canada is most popular in June-August for summer road trips along the Rockies—Banff and Jasper are unforgettable examples—or September-October for Quebec fall colors, on the same day as Swiss National Day. May is a shoulder month with pleasant weather and fewer tourists, but for the ultimate tailor-made experience, our May 2025 packages are the best.
