What to do at Easter
Take a break!
Easter is the perfect time for a long weekend getaway. From 3 to 6 April 2026, you can enjoy four days off, ideal for a mini holiday. Whether you choose nature or a lively city, you’ll be there in no time by train.
Go out on Easter weekend
If you have the day off on Good Friday, you're lucky. Four days off is the perfect opportunity for an extra-long weekend by the sea. Perfect for a weekend away with children. Keep your fingers crossed for good weather, although a little rain doesn’t need to spoil the fun. The Ardennes is ideal to discover during this long Easter weekend. Do you prefer city life? Then pay a visit to Paris. With its charming streets, beautiful museums, and culinary delights, it's an excellent destination for Easter brunch.
Easter day out
Of course, the best of both worlds is also possible: get away for a bit but still have Easter breakfast with your family. Brussels is just far enough away to make you feel like a holiday while sleeping in your own bed. Be amazed by this vibrant city! Düsseldorf is also a good option for a day out with plenty of holiday spirit. Combine shopping with a walk through the Medienhafen and a traditional Altbier. That sounds like a great way to spend the day!
