WHERE TO TRAVEL IN APRIL
April is perfect for a cheeky European city break, some sunny spring skiing, and catching real warmth the further south you head. With Easter usually landing this month, it’s wise to plan ahead if you want to dodge the crowds.
The best countries to visit in APril
South Africa
If you’re on safari, April is one of the best times to visit. The summer rains have dried up, the bush starts to recede, and game is easier to spot. It’s beginning to get autumnal, with crisp, clear days – perfect for exploring and Cape Town gets in full swing with its annual jazz festival. It’s also less busy this month, so you’re more likely to get your pick of boutique retreats.

Amsterdam
Arrive in Amsterdam on April 27th, and the city is awash in orange. Koningsdag (King’s Day), celebrating the monarch’s birthday, turns the streets, canals, and squares into one huge party. Don’t miss the tulip fields in full bloom – it’s usually warm enough to cycle around, and cafés spill out onto the canal-side terraces.
Panama
The dry season runs until the end of April – the days are warm and dry, but not too hot. Panama City is comfortable for exploring, and the waters around Bocas del Toro are clear for snorkelling and diving. It’s also ideal weather for rainforest and mountain trekking, with the climate around Boquete positively spring-like.
