In April the ground begins to thaw and spring flowers start blooming, and with this newness all around, we always start thinking about our next trip. With the one exception of Southeast Asia, where April is the hottest time of year, it is a desirable month to travel to many places. April is the shoulder season for many travel destinations around the world, meaning that it is that sweet spot where you will find both fewer tourists than summer and great weather. From towns, cities and national parks in the United States to the Mediterranean, Europe, and South America and everything in between, we've highlighted some of the top destinations around the world to visit in April.
