Kraków is one of the most beautiful cities in Poland. In spring it takes on some extraordinary charm that makes it even more beautiful.
Another must-see destination is the area of the Tatra Mountains. These mountains are stunning, especially during spring, when multicolored flowers are starting to blossom.
Do you you prefer the sea from the mountains? Then, head to the Polish coast. The cities of Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot form the Tri-City and are ideal for the Easter weekend.
Slovakia
Slovakia is an incredible country and, if only you get the chance to visit it in spring, definitely do so! Temperatures are increasing, so the weather lures to go out for a trip to have some fun.
Follow the Carpathian Wine Route, hike the Tatras National Park, scale the ramparts of Spiš Castle or relax in the spas of Starý Smokovec.
Alternatively, why not marvel at Bratislava’s architecture? Here, the Primate Palace, Bratislava Castle, St Elizabeth’s Church, the Main Square and all the small streets where you can get lost are captivating and put everyone admiring them in a wonderful mood.
Lithuania
Make your Easter holiday an unforgettable one by visiting Lithuania.
Easter is a great time to visit this country, particularly in April and May, when you can stroll over old town cobbles without the crowds. Are you keen to do some bird watching? Then, the period between March and April is one of the best times to visit.
Croatia
Croatia has a lot to offer. This country is the perfect destination at Easter for hikers, lovers, adventurers, retired people or young couples.
