Easter Getaways: The Best Spring Destinations
As Easter approaches, the world awakens—tulips bloom, markets bustle, and centuries-old traditions come alive. Step into the season’s magic with a journey to these best spring destinations! 👀
Spring is a season of renewal, and there’s no better time to watch nature awaken from winter’s slumber. As Easter approaches, cities and countryside landscapes burst into bloom, traditions come to life, and soft spring light makes everything feel fresh and new. From tulip-lined canals to historic rituals and charming Easter markets, here are some of the best destinations that capture the magic of spring.
Provence, France: A Pastoral Easter Escape🪻
If Easter calls for slow mornings, countryside picnics, and lavender-scented air, Provence is the place. In charming villages like Gordes and Roussillon, markets overflow with spring produce, and Easter Sunday meals feature “roast lamb and fresh asparagus”. Don’t miss Aix-en-Provence’s Easter chocolate boutiques, where artisans craft intricate chocolate eggs and bunnies.
✨Tip: Drive through the Luberon region for breathtaking views of Provence’s rolling hills and vineyards.
Florence, Italy: History, Art, and the ‘Explosion of the Cart’🌿
Easter in Florence is no ordinary celebration. The city comes alive with the “Scoppio del Carro” a centuries-old tradition where a decorated cart filled with fireworks is ignited in front of the Duomo, symbolizing good fortune. Combine the spectacle with a visit to the Uffizi Gallery or a leisurely afternoon in Boboli Gardens.
✨Tip: Grab a slice of “Colomba di Pasqua”, a traditional Easter dove-shaped cake, from a local bakery.
Florence is a city best explored on foot, where every street holds a story. With Piri Guide’s self-guided audio tours, you can wander at your own pace while uncovering the hidden tales behind Renaissance masterpieces, historic piazzas, and iconic landmarks like the Ponte Vecchio and Palazzo Vecchio.

Amsterdam, Netherlands: Tulips, Canals, and Easter Charm🌷
Spring in Amsterdam is like stepping into a postcard. The city’s canals shimmer under the soft spring light, while nearby Keukenhof Gardens bursts into color with millions of tulips in bloom. Easter here is relaxed—stroll through the Jordaan district, enjoy a canal cruise, or savor a Dutch Easter brunch featuring paasbrood (spiced Easter bread with almond paste).
✨Tip: Visit Keukenhof early in the morning to enjoy the flower fields before the crowds.
Kraków, Poland: Easter Markets and Timeless Traditions🕊️
Easter in Kraków is both festive and spiritual. The city’s “Main Market Square” fills with wooden stalls selling hand-painted eggs (pisanki), handmade crafts, and traditional Polish treats. Attend a “Święconka” (Easter basket blessing) at one of the city’s stunning churches, then indulge in a feast of “żurek” (sour rye soup) and butter lamb sculptures—a charming Polish Easter tradition.
✨Tip: Visit Wawel Castle for stunning springtime views over the Vistula River.
