Portugal
Lisbon
Tiled hills, cheap seafood, and the best sunset spots in Western Europe. Stay 3–5 days, or 5–7 with sintra and the coast.
Where to travel in April
Arguably the best all-round travel month: warm enough for southern Europe, cool enough to walk all day, and before the summer prices.
Easter is the exception — expect a spike in prices and crowds across Catholic Europe for that week.
