Easter holidays are the period expected by many. After the long winter months, many yearn for the beautiful season and above all a pause for fun and relaxation, perhaps outdoors, which is an advance of the summer holidays. After the Christmas holidays, in fact, the Easter week is the longest holiday period, between winter and summer. So many will leave for a nice trip, which is a return to the country of origin – we already imagine many Italians returning to the South – or the departure for a beautiful city of art, in Italy or in Europe. There are those who will take advantage of it for the first taste of the sea. In short, the opportunities are not lacking. You just have to choose your favorite destination.

Easter holidays are an opportunity for many to visit a beautiful city of art in Italy. Rome, Florence, Venice, Naples are the most popular destinations, but the offer is vast and even many other smaller cities definitely deserve a nice holiday. You are spoiled for choice. Here in particular we recommend the beautiful city of Palermo, Italian Capital of Culture 2018, with a calendar full of events and events, in addition to its architectural and artistic masterpieces to see. If then the weather is good and it’s hot, even if we are still in the very first days of spring, nothing removes the weather allowing you to take a dip or sunbathe on the beach of Mondello, just outside the city. So in Palermo you will have fun for sure and fill your eyes with wonders.

Among the other Italian destinations that we recommend for Easter there are art cities like Verona, Mantua, Cremona, Lucca, Orvieto, Perugia, Lecce. All beautiful cities, which offer a wide cultural, artistic and gastronomic offer and which also organize events for the Easter period.

Among the natural areas we recommend: the National Park of the Casentinesi Forests, with its thick woods and sanctuaries, between Tuscany and Emilia Romagna; the Natural Park of the Maremma, with its wild territory, always in Tuscany; the Regional Park of Matese, between Campania and Molise, the National Park of Gargano with the Foresta Umbra, perfect in spring; finally the Parco del Conero, in the Marche, with its breathtaking views of the sea.
