Travelers looking to go off the beaten path on their next getaway, take note. The travel experts at Airbnb released their list of the top-trending spring travel destinations for 2019, and the results aren’t what you’d expect.
Instead of hitting typical beach getaways like Cancún and Miami, travelers this year are planning to descend upon less-traveled locations like Monterrey, Mexico; Carolina, Puerto Rico; and Santos, Brazil.

The data from Airbnb looks at the percentage of growth in spring travel booking compared to last year, and highlights the stand-out destinations. For example, Airbnb’s No. 1 trending destination for spring travel is Monterrey, Mexico, a city located in the country’s northeast corner that’s known for its culture, food and history. Spring bookings on Airbnb in the city increased 678 percent from last year.
With that in mind, we’ve pulled together some of the top-reviewed Airbnbs in Monterrey, Mexico, to help you spend less time planning and more time dreaming about your upcoming getaway.
