A big factor to consider is what you want to do when you get where you&#8217;re going. Every spot on this list has plenty of nightlife and bars to choose from, so we are going to focus on what you shouldn&#8217;t miss during the day. Here are our top 5 spring break destinations in North America, and whywe think each one is a good pick.<\/p>\n<h3>Miami, Florida<\/h3>\n<p><a title=\"Miami\" href=\"http:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/Locations\/Florida\/Miami\/\/?utm_campaign=UhaulSM&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=Locations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-27152 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/movinginsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/blogspringbreak1.jpg\" alt=\"If you look up &quot;spring break&quot; in the dictionary, the definition would be: Miami Beach\" width=\"640\" height=\"314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/blogspringbreak1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/blogspringbreak1-300x147.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Miami\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/Locations\/Florida\/Miami\/?utm_campaign=uhaulsm&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=trucks&amp;utm_content=20150313-top5springbreak\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Miami<\/a> is one of the quintessential Spring Break destinations. When you think of Miami one of the first things that probably pops into your head is &#8220;party&#8221;, and that is pretty accurate. The main place you will want to go is <a title=\"South Beach\" href=\"http:\/\/www.visitflorida.com\/en-us\/cities\/south-beach.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">South Beach<\/a>, which is renown for it&#8217;s lively atmosphere and shopping. Other places you might want to check out are the <a title=\"Miami Zoo\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zoomiami.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Miami Zoo<\/a>, the <a title=\"Miami Seaquarium\" href=\"http:\/\/www.miamiseaquarium.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Miami Seaquarium<\/a>, and the <a title=\"Miami Museum of Science\" href=\"http:\/\/www.miamisci.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Miami Museum of Science<\/a>. Or just party until you forget what year it is.<\/p>\n<h3>Montreal, Quebec<\/h3>\n<p>Canada, our friendly neighbor to the North, has many great vacation spots, but our personal favorite is <a title=\"Montreal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/Locations\/Quebec\/Montreal\/?utm_campaign=uhaulsm&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=trucks&amp;utm_content=20150313-top5springbreak\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Montreal<\/a>. The most common language there is English, so taking a refresher course on French isn&#8217;t necessary before you visit (it doesn&#8217;t hurt though).\u00a0If you love art then the <a title=\"Montreal Museum of Fine Arts\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mbam.qc.ca\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Montreal Museum of Fine Arts<\/a> is a <em>must.\u00a0<\/em>Other places to check out are the <a title=\"Notre-Dame\" href=\"http:\/\/www.basiliquenddm.org\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Notre-Dame Basilica<\/a>\u00a0and <a title=\"Old Montreal\" href=\"http:\/\/gocanada.about.com\/od\/montreal\/tp\/Old_Montreal.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Old Montreal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>San Diego, California<\/h3>\n<p>Sunny California! Definitely one of our top picks. There is a ton of stuff to do in San Diego, but a couple of our favorites are <a title=\"Balboa Park\" href=\"http:\/\/www.balboapark.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Balboa Park<\/a>, and the <a title=\"San Diego Zoo\" href=\"http:\/\/zoo.sandiegozoo.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Diego Zoo<\/a>. Also, <a title=\"Hotel Del\" href=\"http:\/\/hoteldel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Hotel Del Coronado<\/a> is right outside the city and has beautiful ocean views. Staying there is a tad pricey but well worth it if you can afford a bit of luxury.<\/p>\n<h3>New York City<\/h3>\n<p>Everyone should visit <a title=\"The Big Apple\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/locations\/new%20york\/new%20york%20city\/?utm_campaign=uhaulsm&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=locations&amp;utm_content=20150313-top5springbreak\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;The Big Apple&#8221;<\/a> at least once in their life, and spring break is a great time to do it. If you can see a show at the <a title=\"Radio City Music Hall\" href=\"http:\/\/www.radiocity.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Radio City Music<\/a> Hall, do it. The place is world famous for a reason. Also don&#8217;t forget to visit <a title=\"Central Park\" href=\"http:\/\/www.centralparknyc.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Central Park<\/a> which is much more than just a park, and the <a title=\"Metropolitan Museum of Art\" href=\"http:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Metropolitan Museum of Art<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-27143 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/movinginsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/vegasfeatured.jpg\" alt=\"Moving Insider's Top 5 Spring Break Destinations in North America\" width=\"400\" height=\"215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/vegasfeatured.jpg 475w, https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/vegasfeatured-300x161.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>Las Vegas, Nevada<\/h3>\n<p>Very few cities are as well known as <a title=\"Vegas!\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/Locations\/Nevada\/Las%20Vegas\/?utm_campaign=uhaulsm&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=trucks&amp;utm_content=20150313-top5springbreak\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vegas<\/a> for embracing the party lifestyle. It won&#8217;t be hard to find something to do along the <a title=\"The Strip\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lasvegas.com\/hotels\/on-the-strip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Strip<\/a>, but at some point if you want to get away from the city lights the <a title=\"Red Rock Canyon \" href=\"https:\/\/www.redrockcanyonlv.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area<\/a> is gorgeous and worth the drive. Also, don&#8217;t forget to stop by the <a title=\"Bellagio\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bellagio.com\/attractions\/botanical-garden.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Conservatory and Botanical Gardens<\/a> in the Bellagio.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Is there a great spring break destination we missed?
