These are the best places to visit in April for an unforgettable experience
Get out and explore these amazing destinations this month
Vondelpark, Amsterdam

April is one of my favorite months of the year, and honestly, I think it's pretty underrated. Especially living in Ohio, where winter seems to drag on forever, April finally brings those longer, sunnier days that make you want to be outside as much as possible. People start emerging from their winter hibernation, ready to enjoy life again, and that energy makes it a fantastic time to travel.

The best part? The weather is just right in so many places. Maybe you're craving a beach escape, where you can sip cocktails with your toes in the sand and feel the first real heat of the year. Or maybe spring skiing is more your vibe -- soft snow, blue skies, and that glorious feeling of shredding in just a T-shirt. Either way, April has a destination for everyone.
