Although winter city getaways in Europe have long been possible, floral parks and the spilling outside of café tables add a special touch to any location. Travel can be hectic for a week or two around the Easter holidays, but this month is also a great opportunity to save money. See our guide to the top places to visit in April if you want to know where is hot in April or simply want the finest long weekend getaway during Easter.
Turkish Coast
The start of the holiday season on the Turquoise Coast isn't until May, which is why it is savvy to head there in April for an early dose of spring sunshine, before the crowds, and while the shoreline is exploding into wild blossom. Anywhere along the Aegean-Mediterranean coast, such as Bodrum, Datça, Fethiye, or Kas is a good place to find a suntrap.

Seville
April is the month when the city is invigorated. Due to the pleasant weather, Seville is bustling with tourists and locals. You may interact with the locals and participate in the city's two most important events.
One of the two major spring events in Seville is Semana Santa, which was designated a Fiesta de Interés Turstico Internacional.
One of Spain's most well-known celebrations, the April fair lasts for a full week starting two Sundays after Easter. If you wish to enjoy this event in its entirety, you can participate in the combination of music, dances, colours, and tradition. The moment the lights come on, a genuine show begins.

Crete
Crete is the warmest of all the Greek islands and is the furthest south. Outside of the Easter
school holidays, of course, April is a great shoulder season because the temperature rises gradually before summer's blistering peak. Take advantage of the smaller crowds by spending relaxing days on popular beaches. Beautiful, rocky mountain roads wind through sleepy villages with tavernas that often make their own wine, cheese, and meat.

In the spring and autumn, the winter-sun state is lovely. With long sunny days and warm but not sweltering weather, it's one of the greatest destinations to travel in April for holidays or outdoor adventures.
The pleasant April weather in Florida—neither too hot nor too cold—usually makes this month a highly busy one for tourists. Many American schools' spring break season begins in April, luring families to "The Sunshine State" However, Florida welcomes you with lots of activities to keep you busy if you wish for a spring break packed with enjoyable events like a film festival and concerts.

Amsterdam
While tulips flowering season is often best observed around mid-April. The month-long
Amsterdam Tulip Festival attempts to provide colour across the city. It's a month when Amsterdam residents are rediscovering the pleasures of parks and canal boats, whether the blooms are early or late. And if you have something orange in your closet that you never wear, remember to bring it on April 27 for King's Day, when the nation celebrates with parties and flea markets.
