Paris
The French capital is a classic and offers its best in this season, with little rain and long days.
And, as if the countless attractions and museums were not enough you can always find something interesting and entertaining to do in the city of light.
Egypt and the Red Sea
The Turquoise waters are inviting at this time of the year. Hurghada, Sharm el-Sheikh and Marsa Alam are indeed very famous places for their splendid sea, the non-costly resorts and the numerous excursions to the desert and the wonders of Egypt.

If you are up for some religious and cultural activities then why not head to Italy or Greece?
Italy for Easter
In Italy, Catholic Easter celebrations commence with Palm Sunday and end with Easter Monday. No matter where you go you will most likely enjoy a unique atmosphere.
Sicily is an outstanding choice with the fascinating traditions and scenographic processions that are at the center of all Easter festivities.
Sicilians are celebrating to this day with the same devotion as centuries ago, the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Christ.
The drama and mystery of the rituals related to Holy Week are expressed in different ways in each town, village, and city but all are preserving the charm of timeless gestures and emotions.
What is most striking about the Sicilian Easter holidays is the active popular participation that manifests itself not only in the classic parades and pilgrimages but also in the alternation of the sad feelings of mourning for the death of the Redeemer and the cheerful and festive ones for His Resurrection.
Greece for Easter
In Greece, the Greek Orthodox Easter celebrations start usually a week later than the Catholic Easter with Palm Sunday and end with Easter Monday.
Easter is celebrated in every corner of Greece in a unique way. Customs and traditions come to life and folklore events take place in every single corner of the country.
The island of Corfu has been the top destination for years. Corfiot Easter is famous around the world.
Travelers from Greece, Europe, and other places all over the world, head to Corfu Town as early as they can hoping to enjoy the magic of Greek Easter. Easter in Corfu is a special experience.
