The Trade-Off Analysis

London emerges as the optimal April destination with an overall TripTiming Index of 65/100 vs 58/100 for Amsterdam (+7 point advantage). London experiences substantially lower visitor footfall and shorter landmark queues (moderate footfall vs peak seasonal crowding in Amsterdam). This is reinforced by lower lodging rates (~$273/night vs ~$439/night, saving ~$1162 over 7 nights). While Amsterdam retains an edge in City Vitality (85/100 vs 64/100), London's commanding performance in Space & Crowds secures the overall April recommendation.
