Many are already tired of the snowy and frosty winter and are looking forward to the holidays. As a rule, most people take a well-deserved vacation in the summer so that the whole family can go somewhere by the sea, and at this very time they are faced with such inconveniences as busy beaches, high prices and a lack of available hotel rooms. However, despite the small tourist flow and affordable prices, you should not take the first tour you come across; first carefully study the resort, since in many resort countries the rainy season begins at this time, and your beach vacation may be a little ruined.

Now we will tell you about them :)

Choosing the best destinations for a beach holiday abroad

In this article, we will not consider the resort towns of the Krasnodar Territory, since the average daily air temperature in April is +15°, water +10°.

Cyprus

If you decide to spend a beach holiday on a small Mediterranean island, then you should remember that in spring and autumn the microclimate of resort cities can differ by several degrees, and the warmest resorts are Ayia Napa, Protaras, Larnaca, the average air temperature in April is 21 - 22°C, and water temperature +19°C. An excellent option for families with children, the shallower water on the beaches warms up more, and the small bays near Nissi Beach, which is located on Ayia Napa, are protected from the winds.

Approximate cost of the trip: from 35600 rub. Including departure from Moscow on April 10 for 6 nights in BARBARA ANNEX APTS 3. (2 adults)

Vietnam

If you are looking for shelter from the chilly spring winds, then Vietnam is the place. Peak tourist activity occurs from late November to April. This time is considered the dry season. And starting in May, the tropical rainy season begins, during which powerful typhoons are likely. The most preferred holiday resorts are those located in the southern part: Nha Trang, Phan Thiet. In April, the air temperature is +32°C, water +28°C.

Holidays in Vietnam will especially appeal to lovers of the underwater world. Almost every resort has its own diving centers. If you want to visit the “pearl plantations”, then you should go to the Phu Coc Islands, if you want to admire the turtles, then feel free to go to Whale, and in Nha Trang you will see one of the most fascinating bays, by the way, it is in Nha Trang that the most suitable months for diving are considered time from February to October.

Fishing enthusiasts will not get bored either; local reservoirs are simply teeming with a wide variety of fauna. For a small fee, local residents will not only provide you with a fishing rod, but will also show you the best fishing spots.

In April, before the rains begin, you will be able to visit various excursions, temples of civilizations that have sunk into oblivion, endless rice fields, exotic markets and much more.

It is also worth noting that during the rainy season, which begins in May, you can also purchase tours, but at more affordable prices; however, you should approach the choice of vacation spot more responsibly, so as not to be exposed to the destructive power of the typhoon.

Approximate cost: at the DAI DUONG 2* hotel, for 6 nights it will cost you 75600 rub.(2 adults, no meals). The official service for searching and booking, as well as booking a hotel room, can be found in our previous article.

India

Perhaps this is the most amazing country, dirty and shocking, but at the same time bright and attractive, playing on contrasts, with a huge number of castes. If you are planning to spend your vacation exploring the sights, then you simply do not have enough time. You can study this ancient state all your life and every time India will open up something new and unknown for you.

In April, there is a decline in the tourist flow, as the season of very high temperatures begins, reaching 40°C, accompanied by dry winds and air humidity of 80 - 100%. Therefore, in this month of spring, we recommend going to resort towns located in mountainous areas. There the air temperature stays around 25 - 26°C. There you can also find the large Kaziranga National Park, which is home to exotic animals.

When choosing a trip in April, you should pay attention to the presence of air conditioning in the hotel, since your room will be the only place where you can hide from the sweltering heat. By the way, in Goa the air temperature reaches +35°C, and the water +30°C.

Nusa Dua and the resort town of Kuta are considered to be one of the most popular resort areas; the latter will especially appeal to active young people. Kuta has a huge number of nightclubs, restaurants, and surfing schools. Perhaps this is one of the most crowded and noisy places in Bali.

If you are tired of the bustle of the city and prefer a relaxing holiday, then the Lovina resort is suitable for you, which can be reached from the airport in 3 hours by car. Lovina is a great place to relax with children. There are practically no waves on the beaches of this resort, and you will not see traffic jams on the streets.

Cuba

April is perhaps the most ideal time for a holiday in Cuba. In Havana, the air warms up to 30°C and the water temperature is +26°C. This month of spring is still considered dry, and the likelihood of showers is minimal. Even if you come here in May, at the beginning of the rainy season, this will not mean that it will rain here day and night; precipitation, of course, will be more than in April, but according to statistics there are no more than 7 rainy days.

Sometimes it seems that time has stood still in Cuba; cars from the 50s of the last century drive past modern skyscrapers, as well as domestic cars that the USSR once supplied to Liberty Island. If you are in the capital of Cuba, Havana, be sure to visit Ernest Hemingway’s favorite restaurant, El Floridita, where you will also find a monument to the writer. Fans of excursions will love the city of Santa Clara, where the mausoleum of Ernesto Che Guevara is located.

April is one of the hottest months in Thailand. The thermometer exceeds 35°C, and the water temperature is +30°C.

The same applies to excursions; in order to avoid the sun, you should go for walks early in the morning.

In mid-spring, there is a decline in tourists, which makes it possible to rent apartments at a profit. Unfortunately, April is not the most favorable month for a beach holiday; strong winds often rage, and swimming is sometimes dangerous due to large waves.

The main feature of the holiday at this time is the opportunity to attend the celebration of the Thai New Year (April 13 - 15). The holiday is accompanied by noisy and cheerful festivities. This day marks the beginning of the transition from the hot season to the rainy season.

A fairly large number of people prefer to go on vacation in the summer, since during this period they can organize the best quality vacation. But it is in the summer that it is most difficult to take a vacation - for the same reason, many employees are absent from work. However, you can act more wisely and go on a trip abroad, organizing a quality beach holiday for yourself in April or even March.

The best place where you can go in April is the African continent, and in particular its northern coast.

In Egypt, Morocco, and Tunisia, at this moment the air temperature is just beginning to rise - this means that the sun will still be gentle and not scorching, and the water in the Mediterranean Sea will already warm up enough for you to swim in it. In addition, it is during this period in Tunisia that you can take advantage of the lowest prices for the entire holiday season in this country.

Tunisia

In all of Africa, Tunisia has the most tranquil environment, which will give you the opportunity to come here on vacation with minor children. In addition, there are luxury hotels in Tunisia in which you receive not only a full range of services on site, but also large-scale excursions throughout the country, which is an advantageous difference from Egypt and Turkey.

The calm sea in March and April attracts many divers here who are eager to explore all the secrets of the African coast and find the legendary treasures that, according to rumors, have been accumulating at the bottom since the times of Carthage.

For those who prefer a regular beach holiday, there is also a place in Tunisia - in the spring, the local resorts are barely half full, which allows you to enjoy solitude and boundless tranquility.

Egypt

Egypt has a slightly different character - this country has been focused on tourism and recreation for a very long time and is popular all over the world. Therefore, here you will find an excellent beach holiday with all possible amenities, but a large number of hotels, and several large tourist excursion routes.

However, only a few cities here have historical value, as well as ancient monuments - temples and pyramids. Therefore, you should not count on long independent travel, but from Egypt you can travel or go by sea to other large resorts located in Cyprus, Tunisia, Morocco, Spain and Italy.

Morocco

Those who want to find real exoticism, which cannot be seen either in Egypt or in Tunisia, should go on vacation to the Atlantic coast of Morocco. In March and April, quite a lot of Europeans come here on vacation, as the water temperature can rise to 22-24 degrees by mid-spring.

Among the advantages of the country are very high-quality beach holidays, as well as national flavor, which is not accompanied by traditional restrictions for Muslim countries. There is also plenty to do here - history buffs will find ancient cities, and connoisseurs of a modern lifestyle will find luxurious casinos, discos, bars and restaurants.

Asian beaches

If you don’t want to be satisfied with half measures and want to get into real summer in order to ensure the best quality beach holiday in April, you should go to Asia, where the holiday season has not yet ended at this time of year.

Thailand

If you can't decide where to go in March or April, choose Thailand, which combines top-class beach holidays and many active leisure opportunities.

It should be noted that many entertainments are available in this country, including quite risky ones - so those who like to take everything from life will be able to have a good time there.

India

The Indian resort of Goa is also quite popular, the conditions of which are very similar to holidays in Tunisia - here you receive the highest class service, which gives you the opportunity to enjoy your vacation without thinking about any problems.

In addition, there are places to go in India - you can choose the mountainous regions of the north with their ancient temples and caves, the central part, where the largest monuments are located, including the Taj Mahal, as well as the southern coast, where beach holidays are very well developed.

March and April are the peak season here, so you'll be able to swim in the warm, gentle waters without any problems, but you'll have to deal with high prices and high hotel occupancy.

China

Those who want to plunge headlong into oriental exoticism are recommended to go on vacation to Hainan Island, which is part of China. Here in April the best weather also sets in, which makes it possible to ensure an excellent holiday - both on the beach and on active trips.

As in Tunisia and Morocco, here you can find a national flavor unique to China, but without encountering any cultural restrictions. On the contrary, if you get bored and don’t know where to go, you will be kindly invited to visit the Tea Festival, which is one of the best means of displaying the characteristics of Chinese culture.

UAE

If you want to go to the warm sea in March-April, but you are not ready to cross half the globe, then the United Arab Emirates will be an ideal option for you.

A holiday here will appeal to everyone who loves a high level of service - as in Tunisia and Egypt, on the hotel premises you will receive the highest quality service. In addition, in March and April, not only beach holidays are available here, but also shopping - for example, Dubai is one of the world's largest trade centers, where tourists from all over the world go for bargains.

Exotic islands

Maldives

The Maldives, which receive visitors not only in April and March, but almost all year round, can offer maximum privacy and a romantic setting for couples in love.

Thanks to the extraordinary setting here, you will get the best holiday you could ever dream of. You will have such unusual options as:

• hotel room on stilts;
• renting an entire coral atoll;
• a hut in the rainforest with all the amenities of civilization.

In addition, if you get bored of solitude, you will have somewhere to go - on some islands there are small towns where you can find plenty of bars, restaurants and nightclubs open in April and all months of the holiday season.

Canaries

There are also more exotic options - for example, in April you will find a very good beach holiday in the Canary Islands of Spain. Of course, this resort has long been favored by visitors from all over the world, so you need to be prepared for a large number of people.

In addition, it’s worth coming here to relax if you really like to have a chic nightlife with all its advantages. You can come here in March, when the influx of tourists is not yet so great, but the weather will still be cool enough for swimming.

A selection of six countries where you can relax in April by the sea in 2020. Brief information about the weather in these countries and ideas of what to do on vacation.

In Russia, April is the middle of spring: the time of melting snow and the appearance of the first greenery. Nature is slowly waking up from its winter sleep, and you already want real warmth and soft sea hugs. Where can you relax at sea abroad in April 2020?

Airfare, tour and accommodation prices shown for each destination are accurate at the time of publication and are subject to change. As an example, we consider flights from Moscow.

Canary Islands

There is never winter here in the usual sense of the word. The most popular place among our compatriots is the island of Tenerife: sandy beaches of volcanic origin, magnificent natural parks with exotic plants and animals, the Teide volcano and fantastic lunar landscapes.

In April, those who cannot stand the tiresome heat of the tropics relax here: all the gusty winds remain in March, the temperature during the day is +22...+24°C, in the evenings it is fresh +16...+18°C, and you will probably need some kind of cape or windbreaker. Sea water is still too invigorating for active swimming (+18...+19°C), and only our daredevils from northern latitudes dare to take long swims. Precipitation is not so frequent, up to 5-7 days per month; in the southern regions it is warmer and drier. It is colder in the mountains and in the north, so outer clothing should be provided for traveling around the island.

In April, you can enjoy a beach holiday on the island and a rich excursion program; tourists usually visit the village of Masca with the gorge, the dragon tree in Icod de los Vinos, wild beaches, the Teide volcano and the national park. For romantics, special knightly shows are organized at the Castle of San Miguel.

For diving enthusiasts, good dive sites are located near Las Galletas. It is best for windsurfers to choose the resorts of El Medano and El Cabezo, where there is good waves all year round. In addition, Tenerife has a duty-free shopping area, which attracts shoppers of all ages.

Israel

The Holy Land is a country of sun, warm sea and good mood. In Israel, summer begins already in April, and you can have an excellent holiday here: the air temperature during the day is +24°C, there is practically no precipitation or minimal amounts (1-2 days for the entire month). The Mediterranean Sea is still cool for swimming, the water temperature is no more than +18°C, the Red Sea is warmer - about +20°C, but the Dead Sea has already warmed up thoroughly (up to +24...+26°C) and is ready to receive vacationers.

In Eilat during the day +28°C, in addition to swimming and other beach activities, it is good to take a course of rejuvenating SPA treatments, enjoying the properties of the healing mud of the Dead Sea.

Excursions to holy places are extremely popular among tourists: Jerusalem and the Western Wall, the Citadel of David, temples and synagogues. In April, all Christians in the world celebrate Easter, so during this period there are a large number of pilgrims in Jerusalem, eager to see the great sacrament - the descent of the Holy Fire.

The oldest port in the world, Jaffa, which is located in the Old City of Tel Aviv, is very popular among tourists: tourists will long remember the unusual monuments, street graffiti, cozy cafes on the embankments and walks through the city at night.

UAE

In April 2020, in the UAE you can have a good rest at sea: during the day +30…+33°С, at night +20°С, in the Persian Gulf the water warms up to +25…+27°С. This is one of the best months for a beach holiday in the Emirates, when you can enjoy the warmth without languishing in the heat and stuffiness. There is little rain, and they are all short-lived, but there may be dense fogs due to the rapid warming of the air and the active evaporation of water.

The once deserted country has been noticeably transformed by the efforts of people: excellent places for recreation have been created here, and green parks and small nature reserves bring noticeable revitalization to the overall landscape. In addition to beach holidays and shopping in numerous shopping malls, it is good to go on excursions here. Tourists usually go to Dubai and Abu Dhabi: the colorful and musical fountains, luxurious skyscrapers and mosques amaze the imagination. Luxury lovers will be able to admire luxury cars at Ferrari World or take part in numerous attractions. There is only one significant drawback - trips this month cannot be called cheap.

China

A good option for vacationing abroad in April 2020 is to go to China. It occupies a large territory, quite extensive across different climatic zones, so the difference in temperatures in the north and south is large. If on the southern island of Hainan in April it is already real summer and the temperature reaches +25...+28°C, then in the north of the country it is only +15°C. There may be short-term rains, so the humidity is high, but the water in the South China Sea is pleasantly warm +26...+28°C.

In Hainan, in addition to swimming and the usual beach activities, you can go fishing, diving and rafting, swim in thermal springs or stroll in natural parks. Numerous medical centers offer wellness treatments, and walkers can climb the Ma An volcano.

Tourists can also visit local museums, the historical and ethnographic center of Nanshan, and take exciting excursions around the islands. In addition, in April there is a tea festival, where you can take part in a tea ceremony or simply taste elite varieties of Chinese tea.

Vietnam

Despite the characteristic length of the country from north to south, in April you can have a good rest on the beach at almost all seaside resorts. At this time, the beach season is in full swing. During the day in Nha Trang and Phan Thiet +31…+35°С, at +33°С, even in the mysterious Halong Bay +27…+28°С. The sea water temperature in the southern resorts is +26…+28°С, rains are rare and short-lived.

The big advantage of a holiday in Vietnam is its: here you can have a great rest on sandy beaches, swim in thermal springs, undergo a course of healing massage and other therapeutic procedures, and all this at affordable prices.

Diving enthusiasts enjoy exploring the underwater world of the South China Sea, naturalists go to Monkey Island or on a cruise in Halong Bay, excursions to Ho Chi Minh City, Hoi An, Hue and Hanoi - to ancient temples, royal palaces and other architectural structures - are very popular among tourists. Shopping in Vietnam brings a lot of pleasure to tourists - here you can buy high-quality natural fabrics, pearls and silver products at an affordable price.

Thailand

In April it becomes too hot for a comfortable holiday, and lovers of true tropical heat go there. In the northern regions it is hot: +36°C during the day, and in the south there are increasingly heavy rains, which is why the humidity rises sharply, and such weather conditions are not suitable for everyone. But a slight reduction in prices for trips (15-35%) compared to the popular winter months makes this destination still attractive in the eyes of our compatriots.

In terms of weather, during this period it is best to relax on the eastern coast of the Gulf of Thailand. In Phuket, Samui, Phangan, Koh Chang and Koh Tao, the air during the day is +32...+33°C, the water temperature is +29...+30°C, vacationers are refreshed by a light breeze from the sea. Pattaya is even hotter and drier, +35°C during the day. The situation is worst in the southwest of the country, where it is often stormy and the waves are too high, which is good for windsurfers, but swimming there becomes impossible.

Excursions in such heat are not easy to endure, although tourists willingly visit local museums, temple complexes, waterfalls, plantations and farms, and shopping centers. But in April, sea cruises to the islands, fishing, diving and other water activities are more popular. In mid-April, Thailand celebrates the Songkran (Thai New Year) holiday, during which time usually quiet Thais throw water on each other and play innocent pranks.

Travel insurance

Do not neglect to take out an insurance policy for the duration of your trip - this is a small price to pay for safety and peace of mind. There is a wonderful service that compares the cost of policies among major insurance companies. Just set the required insurance conditions and choose the most suitable option. Very comfortably!

Of course, these are not all the destinations where you can relax abroad in April 2020 and soak up the warm sea water: the Maldives, Seychelles, Cuba and the Dominican Republic welcome vacationers almost all year round. It all depends on the desires and capabilities of the travelers themselves.

It just so happens that the end of April - beginning of May is a mini-holiday season. And even though we completely illogically start our vacation with religious Easter cakes and continue with May “kebabs with cognac,” the soul still requires travel! I’m sure that everyone, back in January, learning about how we’re going on holiday in April, immediately starts packing their virtual suitcases.

Video about beach holidays in April

Previously, at this time we went to visit our grandmother in the village (for Easter!) or to recreation centers (and here for barbecue!). Now infrastructure, imagination and conscience allow you to go anywhere, even to the sea! And I will traditionally answer the following questions:

1. Where is the best beach holiday abroad with children in April?
2. Will the weather interfere with your vacation?
3. Where can you relax by the sea inexpensively?
4. What else can you do besides swimming, barbecue and cognac?

The first thing that comes to mind is Emirates and Egypt. The velvet season is just ending here, however, there is no sweltering heat yet. These countries are ideal for the “budget” concept and will happily welcome tourists with children of all ages.

Lovers of expensive exotics are attracted by overseas delights Dominican Republic and Cuba, where the calendar off-season also seems to us, Russians, to be a real paradise - it’s not so hot yet, but the prolonged rains have not started.

In spring you can visit Vietnam– moderately expensive and quite exotic. In April, everyone here is also preparing for the wet season, but nothing interferes with vacation yet.

There is a separate group of travelers (I am one of them) who like to see something thematic and atmospheric. For example, if it’s New Year, then Lapland, and if it’s Easter holidays, then, of course, Israel. In April it is quite warm here and there are many historical excursions.

Go! Although based on the proposed list of countries, we’d rather fly!

Holidays in the UAE

Holidays in the UAE in April, Al Mamzar beach

If you are looking for the best place to go on vacation in March - early April, then be sure to consider the opportunity to visit the United Arab Emirates at least once. In spring it means the sea, delicious food, excursions with great shows, and dizzying shopping.

When planning a trip, we remember the key rules of staying in the UAE, which are determined by centuries-old Arab traditions. Everywhere, except, perhaps, Dubai, women dress modestly, and the “prohibition law” spoils the mood of men. Of course, as tourism develops, these rules are violated more and more often, but I wouldn’t really count on it☺

pros

1. Weather. The best beach holiday here is in April, because the thermometer is just beginning to approach its peak.
2. Inexpensive tours and local activities. Usually, going to the sea abroad in the spring costs more.
3. If you are planning a beach holiday at the end of April with a child, then the Emirates is an excellent choice. There is a lot of entertainment here designed specifically for children, and there are no drunks or rowdy people at all.

Minuses

1. Oddly enough, the weather☺ Some reviews of holidays in Dubai in April say that during the day it can be very hot.
2. Transportation costs. If you miss the free bus from the hotel, or the weather is bad, be prepared to pay for a taxi or metro.
3. Lack of alcohol (albeit partial). Maybe this is good, but for me personally it’s a minus at any time of the year☺

Prices for tours in April

The price of a tour to Dubai, UAE, in April is really encouraging. You can fly to the sea from Moscow for quite reasonable prices. 30 thousand rubles. per person. This is an ordinary price without last minute trips and early booking.

Tour prices in April, UAE

However, enterprising tour operators also remember that the May holidays are coming soon. Buying a tour to the Emirates at the end of the month will cost significantly more - from 40 thousand rubles. for one.

Prices for the tour at the end of April, UAE

If you are counting on “all inclusive”, then feel free to throw in another 10 thousand rubles. on top of any package.

Weather in the UAE in April

The weather in the Emirates at this time of year is pleasant. The air in Dubai warms up to a pleasant 26-32°C, and the water temperature in April is 25°C.

Weather in the UAE in April, air and sea temperature

Towards the end of the month, the temperature will begin to rise, so being on the beach during the day will not be very comfortable. In the evening, you can completely walk around without a jacket.

Rain is possible, however, with a comfortable frequency of no more than once a week. In the morning, fog often descends on cities - an integral companion of the approaching wet season.

Where to go and what to visit in April?

UAE, Dubai, Dubai Butterfly Garden

In the Emirates, it is almost pointless to look for historical monuments and evidence of ancient civilizations. Here, on the contrary, you need to enjoy the flight of modern engineering.

In addition to the skyscrapers of Dubai, each of which is unique, you can enjoy the sight of magnificent animals. In April, the Dubai International Horse Fair takes place here.

Until the sweltering heat sets in, jeep safaris are great, and even just sightseeing tours around the country visiting all the emirates.

Do you need a visa to the UAE?

Most of us, out of habit, are looking for where to go on vacation without a visa, forgetting that some countries allow get it automatically inexpensive or even free. This is exactly what happens in the Emirates.

You will be given an entry permit for tourism purposes at the airport. immediately upon arrival. If your beach holiday abroad lasts more than 30 days, then your visa will have to be extended for an additional fee.

If the whole family is going to the sea, then pay special attention to the children’s documents. If the child’s surname is different from that of the parents, then this must be supported by documents translated into English and notarized.

Similarly, it is worth ensuring the moment if the child is traveling with only one of the parents.

Holidays in Vietnam

Holidays in April in Vietnam, Ha Long Bay

Mid-spring is the ideal time to travel around Vietnam. Due to the large extent from north to south, the climate in different regions of this country is very different. April is unique in that it evens out all extremes. The north is experiencing typical summer, while the south is gradually approaching the rainy season.

In April, it absolutely does not matter which part of the country you go to – everywhere it will be sunny, warm and comfortable. And even a few episodes of rain are unlikely to ruin your vacation. You can book any excursions or just enjoy nature and the sea - Vietnam at this time of year will fulfill your every whim!

pros

1. Weather. Almost throughout Vietnam, the air and water warm up to comfortable temperatures.
2. Cheaper compared to the winter months. A tour to Nha Trang for April with early booking will cost 10% less than for January.
3. Excursions. Thanks to excellent weather, you can plan trips to any attraction.
4. Fruits. Although in Vietnam they harvest all year round, the most delicious and juicy mangoes are in April!

Minuses

1. General high cost. Although April will be cheaper than a winter holiday, everything in Vietnam itself is still expensive. There are a lot of tourists, so the local population is in no hurry to make discounts.
2. Humidity. Reviews about Vietnam in April strongly recommend renting a room with air conditioning. It is very difficult to sleep on humid, warm nights.
3. Insect bites. The approaching rainy season turns small midges into bloodthirsty beasts. Repellents before and ointment for allergies after are our everything.

Prices for tours in April

The price of a tour to Vietnam in March – April will be from 60 thousand rubles. per person according to the BB system (with breakfast). The price includes flights, transfers and accommodation for a week in a 2-3 line hotel.

Prices for a tour to Vietnam in April

If you postpone your vacation until the second half of the month, the price of a vacation package will drop to a pleasant price. 47 thousand rubles. for similar conditions. The rainy season is coming into force!

Prices for a tour to Vietnam at the end of April

Weather in Vietnam in April

In April, the weather in Vietnam is simply ideal for a holiday - the high season is coming to an end, and the rainy season has not yet arrived.

Weather in Vietnam in April, air and sea temperature

In the northern provinces (Ho Chi Minh City, Halong Bay) it is noticeably warmer compared to winter, however, in mountainous areas (Sapa), as well as in areas bordering China, the air will warm up to only +23°C. Also, the rainy season comes to the mountains earlier, so you should take with you not only an umbrella, but also a jacket.

In the central regions - Da Nang, Hoi An and Hue - it is dry and clear. The air temperature here is +31°C, and the sea water warms up to a pleasant +25°C.

South Vietnam will also delight tourists with high temperatures, however, rains are more frequent here. Heavy but short-lived downpours can disturb vacationers about once or twice a week.

Where is the best place to go on vacation and what to visit in April?

Holidays in April in Vietnam, fish at Hoi An Bazaar

Vietnam opens all its attractions to tourists in April–May. The weather and developed infrastructure will allow you to visit a maximum of excursions anywhere in the country.

Halong Bay - at this time of year there are ideal conditions for relaxation. Worth seeing:

• Sung Sot, Tien Kung and Dau Go caves,
• Bai Tu Long Bay,
• Ti Top and Castaway Islands,
• floating village of Cua Van.

Many tourists prefer to organize trips on their own, however, this destination will cost much more for an individual transfer. It is better to go explore the surrounding area as part of a group.

Rice terraces such as Sapa (the most popular and sought-after tourist destination), Mu Chai Kang, Hoang Shu Phi and others are also of interest to travelers. Some of them can be visited in the format of a comprehensive tour from North to South across the provinces of Vietnam, while others offer independent excursions. The approximate cost of the trip is from $175 for three days.

You can rent a car and go yourself - it's cheaper.

Do you need a visa to Vietnam?

For tourists No visa required for Vietnam, if the duration of the trip does not exceed 15 days. You can stay on Phu Quoc Island (without entering the mainland) longer - up to 30 days.

Holidays in Egypt

Holidays in April in Egypt, Soma Bay, Red Sea

Are you looking for where you can go on vacation at the end of April - May that is cheap and good? Of course, by sea to Egypt! At this time, the weather here is excellent - not very hot, but not cold either. In mid-spring, this country is suitable for both active and seal recreation.

April is a great time for frostbitters and lovers of “hot things”. Already in May, Egypt is covered in inhuman heat, when it becomes a problem not only to go on an excursion, but also to simply leave the hotel on the beach in the middle of the day. Vacationing is not only becoming uninteresting, but I would say it’s also unsafe☹

pros

• Egypt is an ideal place where you can relax with a child in March - early April. Favorite All allows you to feed children of any age tasty and healthy. Plus children's clubs and other entertainment in hotels.
• Weather. April is the last month before the hot summer, when temperatures rise to +45°C. Reviews about Egypt in mid-spring are only positive.
• Varied recreation. You can go on any excursions or relax at the hotel near the pool.
• Low cost. Egypt traditionally pleases us with low prices for tours, especially at the end of the season.
• Relatively short flight and no visa required. This, of course, does not depend on the season, but it’s always nice if you fly abroad to the sea☺
• There are much fewer tourists than in winter.

Minuses

• Oddly enough - the price. Vacation packages to Egypt in April are cheaper than in January, but the proximity of the May holidays for Russians again raises their prices.
• Little fruit. The winter ones have already been collected, but the summer ones have not yet ripened. The assortment includes citrus fruits, bananas, strawberries and watermelon.
• Some extreme sports enthusiasts may find it cold (sea water +23°C), but this is very individual. I don’t see the point in flying far away to sit in the lobby under air conditioning during the day. “Sex on the Beach” can be drunk at home, which, taking into account the flight, will be much cheaper☺

Prices for tours in April

Egypt remains the most popular and inexpensive holiday destination. A tour to an all-inclusive hotel for a week in April will cost a reasonable amount 35 thousand rubles. per person.

Prices for a tour in April to Egypt

It is worth noting that such financial “humanism” on the part of tour operators will last for two weeks. Already at the end of April you will have to pay for a similar vacation 47 thousand rubles. The price of a tour to Egypt on the eve of the May holidays is growing by leaps and bounds.

Prices for a tour at the end of April to Egypt

Weather in Egypt in April

The weather in Egypt in March - April is ideal for a holiday. The air warms up to +28°C, and in some areas up to +30°C. The sea water temperature is +22°C.

Weather in Egypt in April, air and sea temperature

In the first half of April, there is a high probability of khamsin - a hot wind with sand from the desert. Tourists on the Sinai Peninsula complain least often about this phenomenon, but in the Nile River Delta, sandstorms are rare.

Where can you go and what to visit in April?

Holidays in April in Egypt, temples of Abu Simbel

When vacationing in Egypt in April, I would give preference to excursions, which would be problematic to go on later due to the heat. For example, vacationers in Sharm el Sheikh can recommend a trip to Cairo.

What should you pay attention to?

• Pyramids and Sphinx. Overall it's boring. The feeling of the epicness of what is happening does not arise either after hours spent on the bus, or because of the huge number of tourists. Although you need to go once in your life. A kind of tourist and cultural must have in your collection of impressions.
• Cairo Egyptian Museum, which, oddly enough, is much more interesting than the pyramids☺

The excursion to Cairo itself lasts the whole day. Approximately 5 - 6 hours there and the same time back (from Sharm 500 km one way). The bus has air conditioning, so it can be cool.

Better take plenty of water with you From the hotel. Of course, the enterprising bus driver and guide will not let you die of thirst, but half a liter of mineral water from a portable refrigerator will cost $1, and the same volume of cola will cost $2.

The last two hours of the excursion are traditionally spent on a tour of shops and boutiques with recommendations from the guide. Whether it’s worth buying something from them is up to everyone to decide for themselves, but until all the tourists visit one or another retractable shop, “the bus won’t go any further”☹

Do you need a visa to Egypt?

The list of places where you can go on vacation inexpensively without a visa is small. Luckily, Egypt is one of them. Permission to enter the country for up to 30 days is issued to Russians at the airport upon arrival for only $25.

Therefore, if you are planning to go on vacation abroad in April, then both early booking of tours in winter and last-minute tours will be relevant.

Holidays in the Dominican Republic

Holidays in April in the Dominican Republic, the beach near the Sivory hotel

Of all the countries where it is better to vacation in April, the Dominican Republic stands out. This is a real paradise on earth, which, however, is just as difficult to get to as real Eden☺

Magnificent nature, smiling locals and the atmosphere of an eternal holiday - this is what makes it worth enduring a 12-hour flight and a -7 hour time difference (with Moscow). If you can afford an expensive beach holiday abroad, then don’t hesitate to buy a ticket to the Caribbean - you won’t regret it!

pros

1. Weather. In April, the high season in the Dominican Republic comes to an end, however, there is still a whole month before the onset of heavy rains.
2. Nature. This is a picturesque country with unique flora and fauna.
3. Relatively few tourists. The good thing about holidays in April is that the main influx of travelers has already subsided.
4. Few Russian tourists. Let’s not be Russophobes and snobs, but some compatriots are capable of ruining even an elite vacation, demonstrating the “breadth of soul” and other, in their opinion, inherent qualities of a Russian person.
5. Good quality rum and cola. There is a lot of Dominican rum, which locals hospitably pour for tourists, sometimes absolutely free! This point does not depend on the season, but maybe that’s good?

Minuses

1. Poverty of the country in general. There is a lot of garbage on the roadsides, which strongly contrasts with the exotic landscape. This problem can be solved by choosing a good hotel, which, however, will not be cheap.
2. The cheerful temperament of the locals is combined with laziness. It's completely normal for them to dance and sing all night long, but their neighbors are so lazy that no one would even think of calling the police☺
3. Insects. It’s good if your acquaintance with the local fauna is limited to mosquitoes - the repellent works great on them. What if you meet a tarantula? Locals recommend just passing by. Very valuable advice :)
4. The downside of life is marijuana, prostitution, child labor and affordable alcohol. You encounter this immediately upon leaving the hotel. This is typical not only for April, unfortunately...

Prices for tours in April

Even in March - April (the end of the high season) there are no cheap tours to the Dominican Republic. It's all about the transatlantic flight, which “eats up” the lion's share of the cost.

The price of a last minute tour at the end of April - May is no less than 64 thousand rubles. per person for a week's stay in a *** hotel with meals.

Prices for a tour in April to the Dominican Republic

Weather in the Dominican Republic in April

The air temperature in the Dominican Republic in April is at least +28°C, and the sea temperature is +27°C.

Weather in the Dominican Republic in April, air and sea temperature

In just a month, showers and hurricanes will come to “the most fabulous land under heaven,” as Columbus put it, but for now you can enjoy the blue, cloudless sky and sun.

At this time, there is increased air humidity, which makes the heat more difficult to bear. By the way, the sun here is very aggressive. A protective cream with SPF 50 will be very useful.

Where to go and what to visit in April?

Holidays in April in the Dominican Republic, Sivory Hotel

There is always something to see in the Dominican Republic. The locals are friendly and hospitable, and the sights are very atmospheric, just like everything else in this piece of paradise.

• Bacardi Island – beaches, shops and an aquarium with sea lions;
• sightseeing tour of the Dominican Islands;
• museum of humpback whales in the city of Samana, as well as watching them live in the bay;
• the Salto de Imenoa waterfall, as well as the unique local village nearby.

As I already wrote, an integral attribute of any excursion remains rum and cola or mamajuana - an authentic liqueur, which includes wine, rum, honey and an incredible amount of local herbs and roots☺

Do you need a visa to the Dominican Republic?

To visit the Dominican Republic for tourism purposes no visa required. A tourist card is issued at the airport, which costs about $10. It allows you to stay in the country for up to 30 days.

Upon departure, you will need to pay another fee of $20 at the airport. Some Russian tour operators immediately include it in the tour price.

Holidays in Israel

Holidays in April in Israel, Jerusalem

If swimming in the sea is not an end in itself, then you can fly to Israel on vacation. In March - April there is an absolutely special atmosphere associated with several religious holidays. Usually in April, Easter is celebrated by Orthodox Christians, Catholics, and Jews themselves, which is why the demand for visiting holy places is especially high at this time.

Israel in April is not the place where people go to sunbathe or swim. It is still cool enough here for a beach holiday, however, visiting this country in the middle of spring will definitely not leave anyone indifferent!

pros

1. Excursions. The perfect combination of warm weather and a huge number of attractions allows you to expand your horizons and deeply understand this country.
2. Food. Israeli cuisine is very tasty, and in the middle of spring there is also an abundance of fruits and vegetables, which is not usual for us☺
3. There is no language barrier. This is especially noticeable right now, when the country is flooded with crowds of tourists in anticipation of the Descent of the Holy Fire.
4. Love for children. If you are looking for where to go on vacation with children, then Israel is famous for its complacent attitude towards children (not only in early April, but throughout the year ☺). If noise, squealing and running around are not part of your vacation program, then you should carefully choose a hotel.

Minuses

1. Prices. Compared to Turkey and Egypt, the country is expensive. Especially during the holidays☺ Hence the next drawback...
2. Unsatisfactory price/quality ratio. This will be especially noticeable after luxury hotels in Egypt and the United Arab Emirates.
3. Religious and cultural nuances. For example, Shabbat on Saturdays or Passover, which often falls in April and lasts just over a week.

Prices for tours in April

If you take into account the cost of last-minute trips, then in April you can relax in the Promised Land on a budget. The price of a week-long tour per person is 33 thousand rubles. when staying in an inexpensive hotel ** with breakfast.

Prices for a tour in April to Israel

If you book a vacation tour to Israel with three meals a day (FB), then the same week will cost 70 thousand rubles. per person

Weather in Israel in April, air and sea temperature

This is quite enough to move comfortably around the city, but frankly not enough to sunbathe and swim. Although for those who want to take a bath in the Jordan River or soak in the Dead Sea, these temperatures are quite enough.

It is warmest at this time in Eilat. Here is the maximum the air temperature will be +30°C, and the water temperature will be +23°C.

What to see in Jerusalem:

• Jerusalem itself is a city of three religions;
• Monasteries in the vicinity of the city, for example, the Russian Gornensky Monastery;
• The Church of the Holy Sepulcher or the Church of the Resurrection of Christ, which is forever divided between six representatives of Christian denominations.

A must-see is Bethlehem, the city where Jesus Christ was born, and Nazareth, the city where he grew up.

In light of the upcoming holidays, swimming in the Jordan River takes on special meaning (To do this, by the way, you need to have white baptismal robes with you. Renting a baptismal robe will cost the pilgrim $10, and purchasing it will cost $24.)

Do you need a visa to Israel?

Citizens of the Russian Federation and some CIS countries A visa is not required to visit Israel for tourism purposes.. The main thing is to have a foreign passport, which will be valid for at least another 6 months, and not to make commercial transactions in the country.

Holidays in Cuba

Holidays in April in Cuba, Cayo Jutias beach

When answering the question of where to go on vacation in April, it is best to remember the countries where the tourist season ends at this time. Then it will be cheaper without compromising the impressions and quality of your vacation. One of these countries is Cuba - the mythical Island of Freedom, the aura of which captivates everyone born in the USSR.

Summer, as we understand it, in Cuba lasts 365 days a year, divided into cool and dry winters (high tourist season) and hot, humid summers (low season).

A holiday on Liberty Island can be either very expensive (***** hotels in Varadero) or quite budget-friendly if you go on your own.

pros

1. Great weather throughout Cuba. Just one rainy day a week, bright sunshine and warm waters of the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico or Atlantic Ocean.
2. Exotic nature. Here you can see several dozen species of palm trees, crocodiles, pelicans and flamingos.
3. Price. Reviews from tourists about holidays in April - May indicate that you can save up to 40% of the cost of the tour in comparison with a trip at the height of the winter holidays.
