The best places to visit in April

The best April destinations for the active traveller

April is a wonderful time to travel, with many destinations welcoming spring visitors from around the world. If you’re looking for something different, Qatar Airways can take you to surprising places you may not have considered until now.

From city breaks in exotic locations to Mediterranean islands surrounded by azure seas and gorgeous, blooming landscapes, spring is the ideal time to explore somewhere new. Let’s take a look at some of the best places to visit in April, including a few that take you off the beaten track.

Yerevan

Known as the Pink City for its unique rose‑coloured tuff stone buildings, Armenia’s capital is one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited cities. With its history tracing back to 782 BC, Yerevan is a charming mix of bustling markets and welcoming restaurants where you can sample delicious food.

Mount Ararat towers in the background, and the city is packed with interest. Climb up the Cascade Complex, a giant outdoor staircase with panoramic views of the city, visit the Matenadaran Museum and stroll around the Soviet-era Republic Square.

Tbilisi

Georgia’s capital is known for its sulphur baths, unique architecture and vibrant food scene. Its culture, food and history blend European, Middle Eastern and Soviet influences, placing it among the most distinctive cities in the Caucasus.

The Old Town is a charming labyrinth of narrow lanes, inviting you to take your time exploring its shops and cafés. The iconic domed buildings of the sulphur baths in Abanotubani are a must-see, as is Narikala Fortress, with its panoramic views over the city.

Malta

The three islands that make up Malta are famous for their warm climates, ancient history and endearing character. Surrounded by the blue water of the Mediterranean, it’s one of the best places to visit in April and a popular short-haul destination from our hub in Doha. Stroll through the streets of Valletta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its baroque buildings and medieval architecture.

On Gozo, the Ġgantija Temples are among the oldest free-standing monuments in the world, dating back more than 5,000 years.

Almaty

Kazakhstan’s largest city nestles at the foot of the Trans-Ili Alatau mountains, offering a perfect fusion of urban life and easy access to mountain trails. Almaty is celebrated for its vibrant food scene, a blend of Kazakh, Uzbek and Georgian cuisine. Step into its famous natural wonders such as the Big Almaty Lake, Panfilov Park and the stunning Botanical Gardens.

Immerse yourself in the character of the city with a stroll around the Green Bazaar, or relax with a walk along the tranquil Terrenkur ‘Health Path’.

Baku

Azerbaijan’s capital sits on the Caspian Sea and is an ideal place to visit in April. With UNESCO World Heritage Sites and ultra-modern architecture, the ‘City of Winds’ is a blend of old and new. Icherisheher, the Old City, is home to the Maiden’s Tower and the Palace of the Shirvanshahs, while the Flame Towers introduce a new element to the skyline with a striking display of dancing LED lights.

Baku’s position between two continents influences its food too, with a fusion of European and Asian cuisine.

Larnaca

Larnaca is one of Cyprus’ oldest cities, surrounded by a landscape of citrus and olive plantations, Roman relics, and pristine beaches. Tune into the rhythm of its bustling streets packed with markets, boutiques and restaurants. For authentic Cypriot food, head to Finikoudes Promenade, a waterfront lined with palm trees that leads down to the golden sands of the central beach.

Don’t miss the chance to see the Hala Sultan Tekke Islamic shrine on the Salt Lake, which is also home to flocks of migratory birds.
