Colourful celebrations, the beginning of spring, and a giant rabbit dishing out chocolate eggs can only mean one thing: Easter is on its way. But beyond the usual, Easter for Europeans means the first of several long weekends to explore the sights and sounds of nearby destinations. You\u2019ve got four days to escape the usual and discover a new city, hit the hiking trails, or dig into a different kind
of cuisine.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To give you some ideas, we\u2019ve put together a list of places, from bustling metropolises to quiet natural spots, that offer something a little different this Easter. Here\u2019s our round-up of the best Easter city breaks in Europe for 2022. Spring in Europe is almost here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edinburgh, Scotland<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a city with a healthy dose of greenery, it\u2019s hard to beat Edinburgh<\/a> for a weekend break in April. And as it\u2019s close to other major cities in the United Kingdom via train or bus, getting there is a hop, skip and a jump away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head to the Scottish capital<\/a> and climb Arthur\u2019s Seat, the ancient dormant volcano that looms over the city. From the top, you\u2019ll have awesome views out over the city\u2019s brooding castle and the steel-blue waters of the Firth of Forth beyond. For a longer walk, trek out to Morningside and Blackford Hill. With sweeping views of the city and the surrounding Pentland Hills, and fewer people, this walk is well worth the extra effort.<\/p>\n\n\n
