Our Favourite Destinations to travel to in April
Slovenia
Earning a spot on our Future Fuel list for 2025, Slovenia is a rewarding mix of Balkan, Italian, and Austrian culture. Between this stellar blend lies medieval villages, white churches, and train-line excursions that bend and yaw between the snows and the waters. April is an ideal time to visit — spring is awakening the landscapes, the air is crisp and fresh, and it’s the perfect month to explore Slovenia’s culture, nature, and charming towns at a relaxed pace.
Bhutan
If we had to plan a perfect day in our favourite Himalayan destination, it would start with a helicopter journey to Bumdra at first light. Trekking above misty valleys, you take in terraced fields, fluttering prayer flags, and snow-capped peaks. At its end? A private dinner at Changangkha Lhakhang, the region’s oldest temple. April is ideal for Bhutan — crisp days, clear skies, and blossoming rhododendrons make it the perfect time to experience the country’s serene landscapes and rich culture.
Germany
Pine forests, deep and shadowed; turreted castles perched among snow-kissed mountains; bustling squares filled with churches, museums, and lively eateries. Germany has it all, and in abundance. April is a wonderful time to explore — the spring air is crisp, landscapes are waking to life, and cities are alive with culture, history, and charm, making it the perfect month to experience the best of Germany.
Thailand
March marks the start of hanami — the art of springtime flower-watching — and it’s so much more than a pastime. When cherry blossom season kicks off each year between March and May, Japan goes into technicolor hyperdrive. With mild days and the first blooms painting parks and temples in delicate pinks and whites, it’s the perfect time to experience Japan in all its seasonal splendour. Let us show you.
