In April, Sweden awakens from its winter slumber and enthusiastically dives into a whirlwind of festivals and celebrations. The most popular April tours to Sweden are centered around Stockholm, where one celebration follows another, ensuring that tourists have a packed schedule.
Due to the overlapping dates of cultural events in the Swedish capital, themed tours to Sweden in spring can be conveniently combined. For example, a visit to the annual Medieval Fair in Stockholm's Royal Park in the first half of April can provide a relaxing break after intense discussions about contemporary painting during the Spring Art Salon. And attending the King's Day and Walpurgis Night festivities in the last days of April can serve as a spectacular conclusion to Art Week in the Swedish capital.
Garden enthusiasts can gather valuable inspiration for landscape design at the Nordic Gardens exhibition, while food connoisseurs can indulge in Skåne wines at the GastroNord&Vinordic culinary exhibition.
During April, the average monthly temperatures in Stockholm typically range from +5 to +9°C. Gothenburg and Malmö enjoy even warmer temperatures, but it's important to be cautious of potential flooding due to the melting snow. As the third week of the month progresses, warmer weather sets in, offering opportunities for hiking and outdoor sporting activities to enhance your sightseeing vacation in Sweden.
Towards the end of the second decade of April, alpine skiing enthusiasts can make the most of the last days of the season at resorts in Dalarna, Värmland, and Jämtland, benefiting from more affordable rates. For those eager to extend their spring ski vacation in Sweden, you can enjoy skiing in Åre until mid-May or plan a trip to the polar resorts of Riksgränsen and Dundret, where there's still reliable snow cover until mid-June.
Once the ski season concludes, Swedish ski resorts transition into vacation bases for cyclists, climbers, and anglers. April in Sweden is particularly favored by cyclists, with dry roads and less resort traffic. As the ice-free season begins in the central regions, the fishing season also commences.
Most tour operators offer prices for vacations in Sweden in April that align with the average tourist season. A one-week trip including accommodation in a three-star hotel and airfare typically ranges from 700 to 1000 EUR.
