Both the legend of the Easter bunny (originating in the 1700s), and traditional decorated and modern chocolate eggs are thought to symbolise new life as we emerge from winter into the spring months. Other traditions, meanwhile, are more localised, making these joyful days an especially rewarding time to travel. We&#8217;ve selected seven extraordinary settings to visit this spring, where you too can experience the true diversity of Easter traditions around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-germany\"><strong>Germany<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A spring tradition that&#8217;s observed in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/usa\/destinations\/europe\/germany\">Germany<\/a>, along with other European countries influenced by its culture, is the custom of the <em>Ostereierbaum<\/em>, or Easter egg tree. Having been a part of the country&#8217;s cultural heritage for hundreds of years, little is known of this custom&#8217;s origins, but the tradition of decorating trees with colourful painted eggs is still very much kept alive, and can be seen while travelling across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/julian-berengar-solter-M1JazJT_R8o-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Easter egg hanging from a tree branch\" class=\"wp-image-886139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/julian-berengar-solter-M1JazJT_R8o-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/julian-berengar-solter-M1JazJT_R8o-unsplash-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/julian-berengar-solter-M1JazJT_R8o-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/julian-berengar-solter-M1JazJT_R8o-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Visit Germany on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/en-us\/tours\/best-of-germany\">Best of Germany<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-greece\"><strong>Greece<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common Easter treat across the world is the chocolate egg, but in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/usa\/destinations\/europe\/greece\">Greece<\/a> there&#8217;s another sweet specialty \u2013 the sweet Easter bread, <em>tsoureki<\/em>. Typically, this rich brioche-style bread is flavoured with spices and vanilla, then braided and sprinkled with almonds, before dyed red eggs are nestled into the dough. While this local speciality is traditionally homemade and given as a gift, it can also be found at Easter in many shops and cafes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/alexandra-torro-Op0QgzkrSIc-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Loaf of bread with a red painted egg in the centre on a tablecloth in the sunlight\" class=\"wp-image-886140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/alexandra-torro-Op0QgzkrSIc-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/alexandra-torro-Op0QgzkrSIc-unsplash-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/alexandra-torro-Op0QgzkrSIc-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/alexandra-torro-Op0QgzkrSIc-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Visit Greece on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/en-us\/tours\/best-of-greece\">Best of Greece<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-italy\"><strong>Italy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although technically its own nation, Vatican City sits within Rome, making visitors to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/usa\/destinations\/europe\/italy\">Italy<\/a> curious to step across its borders.
