A TikToker has revealed the secret to travelling - and it doesn't have to break the bank.

Influencer, @alfiewatts, described how April can be a "nightmare month" for travelling, but assured holidaymakers that there's still a way to enjoy the Spring season while maintaining a budget.

The first place the content creator recommended was Podgorica in Montenegro. The country, which borders Bosnia and Herzegovina and Albania, is described by Alfie as a "European hidden gem."


He described Podgorica as an "absolutely spectacular" place where some UK cities offer flights to for as low as £60 for a three-day trip at the end of April.

Alfie said: "The good thing about Montenegro is that it's cheap to buy out there so you will be able to experience things for a lot cheaper than you would be able to in Western Europe."

The next recommendation for holidaymakers was Stockholm in Sweden. With a flight time of just over two hours from Birmingham, the destination is ideal for parents with young children.


The TikToker said that some UK travellers can expect to pay a bargain £40 for a three-day trip (even over some weekends!), to reach the city.

He said: "Stockholm is one of the greatest cities in Europe without doubt and it's starting to get a little bit warmer out there now, so it's a fantastic time to go and see some of the nature."

However, Alfie acknowledged his number one travel hack for the Easter season is for tourists to secure annual leave between April 28 and 30. Why?

For a chance to get a great holiday deal to Madeira. The content creator said some EasyJet flights to the sunny destination were as cheap as £80.

The travel enthusiast said: "Madeira is stunning and it's usually so expensive to get to and April or May is a fantastic time to go. So if you can get the time off, go to Madeira. That would be my number one recommendation."


Alfie finished of the video by repeating his earlier sentiment about bagging a bargain during the Easter busy period. He said: "Even though Easter is slap bang in the middle of April there are still countless flight deals for just £30 and £40."

The influencer said travellers should look at European cities for their short breaks, but left viewers with one key reminder.

He said: "Make sure you get on Sky Scanner, and make sure that you get out there in April, because that's what we should all be doing."
