What you gain in April
- ↑Hotel rates drop noticeably as the tourist season winds down — 25–35% below January prices
- ↑The combination of low crowds and still-viable outdoor mornings makes April a smart choice for the value-conscious traveller
- ↑Indoor attractions — aquariums, malls, museums — at their most accessible with fewer visitors
What you sacrifice
- ↓Afternoon temperatures hit 34°C — outdoor sightseeing after midday becomes uncomfortable
- ↓The event calendar is quieter; the big-ticket festivals and races of winter are done
- ↓Expat social life starts shifting indoors as the season changes — the outdoor terrace scene winds down
