April is a great time to travel and there is no better time than now to get something booked in. With weather improving throughout Europe but prices still remaining low, April is a fantastic time to bag a bargain holiday. When people ask us for the Best Places to Travel in April, we are thinking about a variety of factors. ‘What will the weather be like?’ ‘Will the resort be open for tourists?’ ‘Is it affordable?’ More importantly we want to know ‘What does this person want from their holiday?”. If you want to explore historic sights, enjoy long coastal walks, do particular activities – then you don’t need the weather to be scorching hot. But if you want to lay on a beach and tan, the weather plays a much bigger part.

Will everything be open?

Resorts with great April temperatures attract lots of visitors, so the answer for many of the destinations above is yes! But it is always important to ask this question and do your research before setting your sights on a destination. When you find an amazing price that seems too good to be true, always look into what is open at that particular time of year.

Many resort towns close over the winter months meaning bars and restaurants could be closed when you visit. Hotels often remain open but with hugely reduced prices. This can be a great opportunity to bag a bargain if you are looking to enjoy the natural wonders of the destination. You can still explore landmarks, take walks along the beach, shop at supermarkets for your meals and enjoy time with your friends or family, all at a hugely reduced price. Some hotels will be offering Half board or All Inclusive stays, some will have pools, spa facilities, a bar within the hotel – so the lack of things open in town may not bother you at all.

All Inclusive or Self Catering?

This really comes down to what sort of holiday you are looking for. All Inclusive is great in that it removes any food related decision making from your holiday. If you are anything like us, making a decision as to where to eat can take a while. All Inclusive makes it easier to predict what the entire trip will cost. When you book an all inclusive package holiday, everything is pretty much covered, so extra spending isn’t essential. Bear in mind that if you don’t plan to stay around the hotel all day, it can end up being a pricey option if you don’t take full advantage of it. Breakfast included or Half board are alternatives that might work out better value for you in this situation.
