I'm thinking of heading to Europe this April and the thought of avoiding crowds is really appealing. Train travel can make it so easy to explore all these beautiful coastal towns and southern cities that are usually bustling with tourists during the summer months. I've heard some great things about places like Cinque Terre in Italy, the Dalmatian Coast in Croatia, or even the Greek islands... have you guys been to any of those spots? 
What's your take on traveling in April? Is it worth it for the smaller crowds and warmer weather? 
April's the perfect time to escape the chaos of Europe's summer crowds. Train travel makes it easy to zip around those coastal towns and southern cities that come alive with fewer tourists 
. The weather's warm, but not scorching hot, making it ideal for a relaxing getaway with friends or family. I think what's missing from this promotion is highlighting the smaller, hidden gems of each destination. Like, have you considered the charming town of Óbidos in Portugal? It's full of medieval architecture and delicious seafood 
. If you're looking to explore beyond the usual tourist spots, give it a shot! The £200 voucher for sharing your off-the-beaten-path tip is a great incentive

! I've been feeling super burnt out lately and the thought of escaping to Europe for some sunshine and chill vibes sounds like just what I need. I was thinking of heading to Croatia or Greece - have you guys been there? I heard it's still pretty quiet in April compared to the summer months, so fingers crossed that means better prices on flights and accommodations! 
My sister actually went to Italy last year and she raved about this tiny coastal town called Cinque Terre... has anyone else been there?

! Train travel is literally the best way to explore those stunning coastal towns and southern cities without breaking the bank 
. And let's be real, who doesn't love avoiding crowds in touristy spots? It's like a whole new world awaits you, you know? 
I'm totally down for that idea of hitting up some off-the-beaten-path destinations
. Like, have you guys ever heard of the Croatian coastal town of Primošten? It's SO underrated and has this stunning old town with breathtaking views of the Adriatic Sea . Or maybe someone can suggest a hidden gem in Greece or Italy?
£200 voucher to stay at a Coolstays property worldwide is, like, totally tempting
. I need that trip ASAP! Anyone got any top tips on where to go and when? Let's get this travel inspiration going!

. I need that trip ASAP! Anyone got any top tips on where to go and when? Let's get this travel inspiration going! think this is great news for europe! train travel is defo making it easier to explore all these hidden gems without the crowds . i mean who doesn't love warmer weather and being able to chill with mates/family by the beach? but, on a more serious note, have you thought about how this increased tourism could impact local communities? like, will all these visitors be respecting the towns and their environment or just bringing a bunch of extra noise and hassle . anyway, if anyone's got a rad off-the-beaten-path spot to share, i'm defo down to hear it! I'm so down for that European getaway this April! Train travel is literally the best way to get around Europe - it's so affordable and convenient. And yeah, fewer tourists mean you can actually experience these beautiful coastal towns and cities without feeling like you're in a tourist trap. Warm weather in April is pretty sweet too... nothing beats sipping coffee on a sunny balcony with friends. But I gotta say, off-the-beaten-path destinations are always my jam! Have you ever been to any of those hidden gems? Croatia's got some amazing islands that are only now starting to get popular (but still super chill). Or if you're feeling adventurous, try Bulgaria - the coast is gorgeous and way less crowded than Greece or Italy.
If I had a tip, I'd say hit up Slovenia's Lake Bled in April - it's stunningly beautiful and still pretty low-key. And yeah, that £200 voucher for Coolstays sounds like a dream come true!

It's true that coastal towns and southern cities are super crowded during peak summer months. I think train travel is really convenient for exploring these places without the hassle of driving or flying. And who doesn't love a sunny break with friends or family? I've always wanted to try some of those hidden gems in Europe, like the lesser-known beach towns in Croatia or Portugal
