Easter markets in Vienna
Vienna is a fantastic city to explore on foot, where you can experience a great deal and get to know the city’s beautiful and historic buildings. When you are in Vienna, be sure to visit castles and palaces, and enjoy a classical concert. The Easter markets are colorful and cozy – the largest are located in front of Schönbrunn Palace and Freyung. In the old town, Europe’s tallest tower is built every year from around 40,000 painted Easter eggs.
Spanish Easter processions in Granada and Seville
In Spain, Easter is a religious folk festival celebrated with processions, rituals, music, food, family time, and parties. Seville is perhaps home to the most famous of the many Easter processions. Over 50,000 people participate here, and the procession can last up to 14 hours. The large, beautiful floats are carried by the brotherhoods, who walk in silence and often barefoot. In Granada, Semana Santa, also known as Holy Week, is celebrated. Here too, the city’s brotherhoods lead the way with floats decorated with religious icons, often decorated with fresh flowers, silver, and gold. The temperature in Seville and Granada is now more reminiscent of summer than spring.
