The Easter holidays in 2024 begin on the last weekend of March! This means that the weather during this period can be a big surprise for everyone. So where should you go for Easter 2024: abroad, to the seaside, or perhaps to the mountains?
Every extended weekend is a good opportunity to relax. This year, the Easter holiday is only 3 days long. Unless you take a few days off work, then it's not worth staying at home. It's better to think about where to go for the Easter holidays.
Where to Spend Easter 2024 in Poland?
Spending Easter away from home is becoming increasingly popular, and many people choose trips to the mountains, seaside, or abroad instead of traditional celebrations at home. Mountains, such as the Tatra, Bieszczady, or Beskids, offer fewer crowds during the Easter period and attractive special offers, including stays at SPAs and numerous trails for active recreation enthusiasts.
An alternative to the mountains is Easter by the sea, where you can find favorable accommodation offers in places like Gdańsk, Gdynia, Sopot, Kołobrzeg, Świnoujście, as well as in smaller towns like Rewa, Karwia, or Dębki, offering comfortable rooms with sea views and beachside walks.
The Masurian region is another option, offering tranquility, awakening nature, and the opportunity to experience local holiday traditions. You can visit attractions like the Teutonic Castle in Działdowo, the Wild Animal Park in Kadzidłowo, the Indian Museum in Spytkowo, or the Borecka Forest.
Małopolska, known for its rich history and holiday atmosphere, offers family walks through the Old Town in Kraków and visits to places like Wieliczka.
Lublin region is less crowded but equally charming, with attractions such as the Old Town in Zamość and Lublin, Polesie National Park, Magic Gardens in Trzcianki, or Kazimierz Dolny.
Where to Go for Easter by Plane?
There are many varied options for spending Easter both in warm countries and in Poland, including all-inclusive hotel stays and sightseeing tours. Popular foreign destinations for these holidays include Turkey, Cyprus, Spain, Italy, and Egypt, each offering unique attractions like warm beaches, historical monuments, and local holiday traditions. For example, in Turkey, you can enjoy temperatures up to 25 degrees Celsius, beautiful beaches, balloon flights over Cappadocia, and visits to the limestone terraces in Pamukkale. While in Cyprus, with temperatures around 22 degrees Celsius, you can explore sandy beaches and charming old towns. Italy offers the chance to experience festive processions, taste traditional dishes, and visit places like Sicily. Recently, more exotic destinations such as Oman, Zanzibar, or Mexico have also become popular.
Where to Go for Easter in the Mountains
The mountains are a popular destination during the Easter holidays. Zakopane, Szklarska Poręba, and Szczawnica attract crowds, and you should prepare for relatively expensive accommodation.
Perhaps it's worth trying a different destination and heading to the Silesian Beskids. Such picturesque towns as Szczyrk, Ustroń, and Wisła provide attractions all year round.
Nothing prevents you from spending Easter in a mountain shelter, e.g., PTTK Barania Góra – Przysłop or PTTK Stożek. A weekend in the mountains, away from civilization, spent on trails, is an idea for a total reset. For those who expect more comfort during their Easter trip, a stay at the Vestina Hotel in Wisła Malinka is recommended.
Easter in Wisła is a unique experience, combining the picturesque landscapes of the Silesian Beskids with the opportunity for relaxation and admiring the spring awakening of nature. The location in Wisła provides peace and rest, away from everyday hustle and bustle, making it an ideal place for a holiday vacation. For lovers of active recreation, Wisła offers numerous hiking trails, perfect for spring walks. After enjoyable walks, you can relax in comfortable rooms or use the intimate spa (jacuzzi, dry sauna, salt grotto). It's also worth trying a relaxing massage.
Easter in the mountains at the Vestina Hotel is an opportunity to visit the Adam Małysz Ski Jump. Guests admire the Cieńków ridge from the windows, which can also be explored on foot. There is a cable car, so getting to the top will be easier. There are also bicycle rentals near the hotel.
