With spring in full swing by April, many destinations around the world are enjoying mild temperatures and gorgeous blooms. If that isn’t enough reason to travel in April, the shoulder season crowds in many popular destinations should be! These are my top picks for the best places to travel in April around the world:
1. Kyoto, Japan
Japanese cherry blossoms are in full bloom in Kyoto in April, so prepare to be wowed by the pops of pink throughout the city. Spring in Japan can be cold, especially at night, so make sure to bring layers and prepare for some rain. Even with slightly chilly weather, April is still a fantastic time to explore bamboo grove, dine at some of Japan’s best restaurants, and get a dazzling view of the city at the Kojingamine outlook. Sold? Me, too. Find more ideas on how to enjoy Japan’s best sites here.
2. San Pancho (San Francisco), Mexico
On Mexico’s Pacific Coast sits dreamy San Francisco, aka San Pancho (Pancho is a nickname for Francisco). Although it’s close to the bustling backpacker town of Sayulita, San Pancho remains as chill as can be, making it a better choice for families or anyone looking for a quieter beach vibe.
April is an ideal time to visit San Pancho (as long as you avoid spring break) because it’s still dry season, yet tourism dips. That means warm, sunny days perfect for relaxing on the beach and a good chance you’ll be able to find some solitude. Find out how to get the most out of your trip to San Pancho here.
3. New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
If you thought Mardi Gras was the only time to catch a great party in the French Quarter of New Orleans, think again! Beyond having amazing weather in April, the liveliness of the city makes for a stellar visit. Head there at the end of the month to catch the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, or go in the middle of April for the French Quarter Festival. Either way, you’re bound to have a blast listening to live music and dancing the night away.
New Orleans is famous for its swanky boutique hotels, so don’t miss out on the chance to stay in one. They’re the ultimate place…
