The Trade-Off Analysis

Berlin emerges as the optimal April destination with an overall TripTiming Index of 61/100 vs 58/100 for Amsterdam (+3 point advantage). Berlin experiences substantially lower visitor footfall and shorter landmark queues (moderate footfall vs peak seasonal crowding in Amsterdam). This is reinforced by lower lodging rates (~$184/night vs ~$439/night, saving ~$1785 over 7 nights). While Amsterdam retains an edge in Weather Comfort (74/100 vs 54/100), Berlin's commanding performance in Space & Crowds secures the overall April recommendation.
