Top destinations to visit in April
Palm Springs – Just a half-hour drive to the site of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, Palm Springs is the perfect airport to fly into for festival-goers. Coachella takes place over two separate weekends in April each year and promises a fantastic lineup of musicians, stunning art displays and fun, interactive experiences around the festival grounds.
Okasa, Japan – Cherry Blossoms trees are at full bloom across Japan toward the end of March, throughout April, and even into early May. Central areas like Kyoto and Okasa will typically experience early April blooms, while Sendai and Aomori will experience them later in the month. Seeing these beautiful, delicate pink and white flowers all around you is a bucket list experience for sure!
New York City – Want an opportunity to mingle with celebrities and want independent movies before they become the next big blockbuster? Walk the red carpet and feel like an A-lister at the annual Tribeca Film Festival, held in the Tribeca neighborhood of Manhattan. Stay for Q&As after screenings to hear from the cast, director and others involved in the film.
Bangkok, Thailand – April is a fun time to visit Southeast Asia, but particularly Bangkok. Yes, it’s scorching hot in Thailand in April, but it’s also Songkran. That in itself should cool you down. Songkran celebrates the Thai New Year from April 13 – 15 (though festivities last for about a week), and some call it the water festival since it’s celebrated with a city-wide waterfight. Be prepared to get drenched by water guns, buckets, and water hoses!
