Cities to Visit for Easter
1. Rome, Italy
Rome is the perfect destination to spend Easter, as it carries the religious center Vatican. Vatican, as the religious capital of the Roman Catholic Church, is one of the best places to get into the spirit of Easter. St. Peter’s Basilica is a must-see in Easter, as a special ceremony for the occasion is hosted in the Basilica. A trip to Vatican also allows the tourists to enjoy the city of Rome, as well as the historical beauty of Vatican itself.
2. Paris, France
Paris is the most beautiful in the last days of the spring, however it is not the only city you can enjoy Easter. Smaller cities surround the capital, like Colmar which hosts two different Easter markets, where visitors can enjoy the ambiance of the upcoming spring and buy artisanal products, including the famous Alsace wine. With a short train or car ride, you can explore new French towns and spend your Easter in a more traditional setting.
3. Munich, Germany
Easter in Munich is celebrated as Osterfest, where the whole city comes together at the Olympic Park, where families and tourists are able to enjoy a variety of activities including traditional egg hunts, German street food and carnivals.
4. Tel Aviv, Israel
Tel Aviv and the near old city of Jerusalem is the best destination for the religious tourists in Easter season. Easter is celebrated with an authentic pilgrimage in Jerusalem, in which Mount of Olives, Dome of the Rock, Coenaculum and Via Dolorosa are visited throughout the Holy Week.
5. Madrid, Spain
Madrid is the European heart of Easter celebration, where ceremonies start with Palm Sunday and continue with almost twenty different events during the Holy Week. Easter Sunday in Madrid is famous for the traditional march, where drummers perform and traditional dishes are served.
6. Muscat, Oman
Visiting Oman for the Easter may seem odd - however, if you want to have a rather interesting Easter holiday rather than a spiritual one, the Easter season is perfect for exploring Muscat, as it’s the time the famous Damask roses start to bloom. The view of endless blossoms and beautiful mountains will be breathtaking.
7. Cairo, Egypt
If spending Egypt by going on an adventure is more appealing to you, why not take a very interesting route? The Easter time is ideal for a trip to Cairo because the city gets too hot for tourists during the summer. If you would like to visit the ancient pyramids and enjoy the historical beauty of Egypt, Easter could be the perfect opportunity.
