Long weekends are like a breath of fresh air when the daily grind exhausts you. And if it’s summer time, the scorching heat of up to 40 degrees sucks the life out of you. That’s when you have this strong urge to escape somewhere and feel alive. The good news is April has 3 long weekends and you have three chances to break the monotony and travel at will. If you haven’t made any plans yet, “no sweat” (pun intended) we’ve planned something for you. Here are some of the best places to explore for the long weekends in April.
