In April, we had a very enjoyable trip visiting some friends in Frankfurt. We visited the Mercedes and Porsche Museums in Stuttgart. We also spent a day in Heidelberg, which I would recommend to anyone visiting Germany.
The second half of our trip we spent in Amsterdam. The city is amazing and you should go soon as the rumors are the Red Light District will be shut down this year. The most memorable part of the trip was a heading out to the Kenkenhof area. While the gardens are amazing and worth a visit, they are very crowded in mid April which is the peak time for the tulips. From the parking lot of the Kenkenhof, you can rent bicycles for 8.5 euros and ride around the bulb fields. I found that to be one of the more enjoyable adventures I've had in Europe. They provide a very well laid out route map and the ground is very flat so the riding is very easy. Judging from the amount of people we saw on the trails, most people don't take advantage of the opportunity, so make sure you do when you visit.
