Quick, Easy, and Exciting: April Getaways

The best destinations for springtime fun!

Spring is in the air—and so is the urge to get away. There’s something about April’s fresh, buzzing energy that makes a change of scenery feel just right. But there’s no need to overthink it. Because the best April getaways are all about spontaneity and stress-free fun. Think great food, beautiful views, and maybe even a baseball game—no complicated planning required.

Ready to make the most of April? Pack your bags and head to one of these destinations.

• Baltimore, MD

  Historic neighborhoods plus excellent seafood = a triple win!

  Mouthwatering Maryland crab cakes are worth the trip alone, but there are plenty of other reasons to visit Baltimore. Start your visit with a waterfront stroll along the Inner Harbor, home to the National Aquarium. Love history? Explore Fort McHenry, where the national anthem was written, and the quaint cobblestone streets of Fell’s Point.

  April also means baseball season at Camden Yards, one of the most beautiful stadiums in the country. Enjoy the views of the Baltimore skyline—and a Chessie: a Chesapeake-spiced sausage smothered in crab dip.

• Las Vegas, NV

  Bet on fun at one of the best April getaways!

  First of all, the weather is pure perfection. Warm and sunny, but you won’t melt in the desert heat. Plus, it’s the return of pool party season! Sin City’s famous bashes are back with a vengeance—think live DJs, lux cabanas, and all-day fun. Then put on your swankiest outfit for world-class nightlife and a roll of the dice.

  Beyond the dazzling lights of the Strip, there are plenty of nearby adventures. Visit Red Rock Canyon for a breathtaking desert hike or book a day to the Grand Canyon for an amazing outdoor escape!

• Providence, RI

  For an artsy vibe plus a walkable downtown!

  Providence is one of our favorite April getaways, with a mix of city fun and waterfront beauty. Its downtown parks and outdoor cafes and restaurants are perfect for soaking up the spring sunshine. And art lovers, you’ll be enthralled by the RISD Museum, packed with everything from ancient artwork to contemporary masterpieces.

  When it comes to food, Providence shines, you guys! Head over to Federal Hill for a taste of the city’s Italian heritage—homemade pasta, fresh seafood, and scrumptious pastries. But leave room for the classic Rhode Island treat, a stuffie (stuffed quahog clam).

• San Antonio, TX

  Where history and tacos meet!

  Stroll along the city’s iconic River Walk, where lively cafes line the waterfront and music fills the air. When evening rolls around, head over to The Pearl, a former brewery turned hotspot. It’s home to some of the city’s best restaurants—and ideal for filling up on authentic Tex-Mex and barbacoa.

  An April must? Fiesta San Antonio! Begun in 1891 as a simple flower parade, this 11-day extravaganza now includes multiple parades, live music, and a carnival. It’s also the perfect place to try some of the city’s most popular foods: elote, tamales, puffy tacos, and chicken-on-a-stick.

• Scottsdale, AZ

  It’s the desert—without the heat!

  Scottsdale in April is absolute perfection: blooming wildflowers, warm (but not scorching!) weather, and plenty of ways to relax. The Old Town district is bursting with Southwestern charm, with art galleries, boutiques, and upscale restaurants. The city is also known for its luxurious spas. Treat yourself to a treatment with locally sourced ingredients such as prickly pear, agave, pomegranate, and honey.

  And don’t forget your clubs! Scottsdale is truly a golfer’s paradise, with more than 200 amazing courses. From laid-back resort courses to the challenging TPC Scottsdale, you’ll get stunning mountain views with every swing.

These April getaways are proof: the best memories are simple and spontaneous! And with destinations this good, it’s easy to escape, explore, and enjoy the fabulous spring weather.
