Sunrise & Sunset in Leiden During April

April in Leiden brings rapidly lengthening days as the sun tracks higher across the sky. Morning twilight begins noticeably earlier, and evenings stretch well into what felt like nighttime just weeks ago. Day length is still increasing by two to three minutes daily. The stronger sun angle means warmer afternoons and more intense golden-hour light — ideal conditions for outdoor activities and photography.

Golden Hour & Twilight in April

During April, golden hour in Leiden lasts approximately 71 minutes each morning and evening. The low sun angle during these periods produces warm, directional light prized by photographers and filmmakers. Civil twilight — the period when the sun is just below the horizon — adds extra usable light before sunrise and after sunset, extending the practical daylight window beyond the times shown in the table above.

Through April, days in Leiden are lengthening by roughly 3.9 minutes per day, adding up to about 1h 53m over the course of the month.
