Easter holidays 2026: Here are the editors' 10 favorites for spring trips is written by The editorial staff, RejsRejsRejs.
The Easter holidays invite to sun and experiences
Easter can be capricious at home. Therefore, the Easter holiday is an obvious opportunity to leave the cold and darkness of winter behind and travel out to sun and spring sensations. For many, it will also be here that the desire to travel really returns after the long winter.
Here you will find the editorial team's suggestions for 10 places where you can have a blast on a lovely Easter trip in 2026. Whether you are looking for the beach, culture or spa.
Budapest: Spring in Hungary's capital
The editors' first suggestion for an adventurous city break at Easter is Budapest i Hungary.
Hungary's capital has a cooler climate than most of the other Easter holiday destinations we mention in the article, but that's why we think it should be on the list anyway, as Budapest has many sights and experiences that are worth visiting - even in cooler weather.
Among other things, Budapest offers experiences such as their historic and charming buildings, thermal baths and good shopping opportunities.
The capital is, among other things, a popular holiday destination due to their low prices and beautiful sights - and it doesn't matter that the weather is a little on the cool side.
Cyprus: Easter holiday in the sun
Our second suggestion for a sunny Easter holiday this spring is Cyprus.
Cyprus has a slightly drier climate than Greece and is therefore ideal for a sunshine trip during the Easter holidays. The southern part of the shared island is easy to get to, while the northern part is more difficult, as you usually have to via Turkey on the road.
Cyprus is both large tourist areas and small unknown spots when you just move a little away from the coast. There is good food, nice atmosphere and very reasonable prices.
Cyprus is a really good choice for an Easter holiday in the sun.
Georgia: The Caucasus is beautiful in spring
Our third commandment is a completely different type of travel experience; namely the overlooked pearl called the Caucasus.
Georgia and the neighboring country Armenia is geographically screwed together in such a way that it is best to visit the scenic cultural lands before or after the summer, when it is too hot. This also applies to e.g. Kyrgyzstan og Uzbekistan.
Georgia and Armenia are the oldest Christian countries in the world and are dotted with beautiful cities, wild mountains and very hospitable people. There is also a fantastic food and wine tradition in the area, and that can make the journey more enjoyable.
If you're going all the way up into the mountains, it may still be a bit chilly at Easter, but with the same latitudes as Rome og Barcelona the budding spring is a good time to visit Georgia.
Malta: The island of culture with clear water
Malta is our fourth offer for a lovely Easter holiday.
The island just south of Sicily has a pleasant climate during the Easter holidays, and it is packed with experiences. If you're into culture, the crusader city of Valetta and the 6000-year-old city of Ħaġar Qim will certainly impress you. It is not without reason that Malta is called the Mediterranean's island of culture.
The sea around Malta is crystal clear and is therefore perfect for exploring beneath the surface.
There are also plenty of classic sun experiences on the island, which have a well-developed tourist infrastructure, and the locals speak fine English.
Malta is an obvious choice when you want boats, warmth, culture and nature experiences during your Easter holiday.
Spa and wellness in Poland during your Easter holiday 2026
Our fifth recommendation goes to Poland.
There are proud traditions for spas, wellness and spas in several countries south of the border, among others Hungary og Slovakia, and for your Easter holiday it is obvious to go for it Polish Baltic coast, which is not further away than you can just drive there.
Poland has many great spa hotels along the coast from Stettin – or Szczecin in Polish – to Kołobrzeg, which must be Poland's spa capital. Here, it is warm all year round in the beautiful baths, and you can have all the spa and diet treatments you dream of, plus, of course, massages for sore backs and feet. Many places also offer yoga, and at very good prices.
Poland is a really good bet for a pampering Easter holiday.
Also Czech Republic offers spa, wellness and relaxation in the classic spa and cultural towns such as Karlovy Vary and Český Krumlov.
Rooms are perfect for Easter holidays
Our sixth commandment is 'The Eternal City'; Italian beautiful capital Rome.
In contrast to high summer, the climate is pleasant during the Easter holidays with temperatures of up to 20 degrees.
Rome is of course a city of culture with a capital K, and it can also do a lot of other things. Take, for example, a cooking course, a wine bar and explore the food markets on the edge of the city and experience the city as the Italians do.
Rome is something very special during the Easter week. It is a festive holiday that attracts pilgrims from all over the world. This makes an Easter holiday in Rome a very special experience that must be seen and felt.
Denmark, Montenegro, Egypt, Madeira and Cape Verde
Of course, there are also many good opportunities for Easter holidays in our own country.
Denmark abounds in cultural experiences at Easter, and if the weather changes, there are still many beautiful places you can wander, and otherwise go within and get the heat in the spa. Take another trip Copenhagen og Aarhus, or at a museum in Jelling or Southern Jutland.
We can also recommend taking an Easter holiday in 2026 here:
Holland - Although there is no guarantee of sun in the Netherlands when it is spring, Amsterdam is fantastic in the spring, and an obvious destination if you want to go on a city break during the Easter holidays. And then you can even be lucky that the many tulip fields have sprung up.
Montenegro - The Mediterranean country with its wild nature is really beautiful in spring, before the largest crowds of tourists arrive.
Egypt with Luxor, the Red Sea and the pyramids is a sunny destination during the Easter holidays.
Madeira, the beautiful flower island with lots of hiking trails and gastronomic experiences.
Cape Verde, which lies a little south of them Canary Islands, has sun and perfect summer temperatures in April. There are lots of freshly caught fish, water sports and exciting dance rhythms.
Happy Easter holidays in 2026!
