I have a vacation in mid-April, where it is better to go at this time - to Holland or Ireland? Taking into account the prices and the weather

Responses the information department of the "Subtlety of Tourism"
April is especially good in the Netherlands (Holland), where flowers are being blossomed at this time. For example, in the Keukenhof park near Amsterdam, florists will enjoy the flowering of almost 6 million flowers: hyacinths, lilies, azaleas, even cherry blossoms. Throughout the country there are festivals in honor of the first tulips. And in the middle of the month (the second weekend in April), the weekend of the National Weekend of Museums is held - you can visit any museums in the country free of charge (there are about five hundred of them!)

April 30 - the birthday of the former Queen Juliana, who is considered the main national holiday of the Netherlands. Street walks, holidays and receptions are held all over the country for adults and children, and the festivities last for at least two weeks

Weather also contributes to tourism: in April it is warm and very sunny, the average air temperature reaches + 10 ° C in the daytime - +12 ° C, and at night is + 3 ° C - +6 ° C.

In Ireland at the same time the weather is absolutely unpredictable: in general, quite comfortable, although cool - + 11 ° C in the daytime and +4 ° C at night. Irish people joke that they have all four seasons in the day: rains are not strong, but frequent.

Here too, in April, there will be no celebrations: on the 21st the birthday of the British queen is celebrated. And on April 24, the Irish celebrate the Day of the Easter uprising of 1916. Back in April, the Waterfront in Belfast hosts the World Irish National Dance Championship. During the week lovers of Irish culture can enjoy spectacular dances performed by the best dancers from around the world.
