Seville

If securing some sun is top of the list this Easter head to Spain’s beautiful Seville, forecast to be sunny and warm, with temperatures reaching the mid-20s – far better than its scorching summer highs.

 
The Plaza de España in Seville
 

If you visit over Easter weekend itself watch the processions through the streets for ‘Semana Santa’ or ‘Holy Week’, where floats depict parts of the Easter story, with some of the decorated artifacts dating back to the 17th century. Stay around until the sun sets and watch as thousands of candles light the streets.

Stroll along the cobbled streets of Santa Cruz in the old town, visit The Alcázar Palace, walk along the banks of river Guadalquivir and be sure to watch some flamenco, which the city is famous for. A great place to stay is Eme Catedral Hotel, in the old town by Giralda Cathedral. Fly into Seville Airport for easy access to the city.

Capri

For complete relaxation head to the gorgeous island of Capri and reinvigorate yourself at The Capri Palace Hotel & Spa. The resort creates the feeling of a Neapolitan palace with its grand arches, vaults and columns. With interiors as stunning as the views, enjoy its extensive art collection that adds colour to the clean white lines and excellent food at its internationally-regarded restaurant L’Olivo.

 
The beautiful island of Capri
 

In its wonderful spa The Capri Beauty Farm indulge in a vast range of treatments. Run by Professor Francesco Canonaco and with a team of 30 doctors, therapists, beauticians, dieticians and chefs this is a true medical spa able to deliver exclusive treatments that have been developed with university hospitals in Milan, Rome and Naples.

 
The stunning Blue Grotto
 

Away from the art, the food and spa at the resort, explore the charming Anacapri. Here away from the crowds of the more bustling town of Capri enjoy the natural beauty of the sparkling azure-lit Blue Grotto, take the Mount Solaro chairlift for Capri’s best views and visit Villa San Michele and its museum. Book your charter to Naples airport and take a scenic ferry ride to the Island.

luxembourg

If the sun doesn’t need to make itself felt but music instead will lift the spirits, head to Luxembourg for its annual jazz and world music festival, Printemps Musical, already underway and set to run until 21st April.

 
Luxembourg city
 

With concerts from international names to up-and-coming artists – staged in a range of venues from the Philharmonie and the Grand Théâtre de Luxembourg to the club-atmosphere of the Den Atelier venue – there is much to take in.

 
The La Cristallerie restaurant
 

For an elegant hotel, try Le Place d’Armes which beautifully mixes art nouveau and baroque styles with the contemporary. Apart from dining at the hotel’s excellent La Cristallerie restaurant, its Plëss brasserie or the renowned Café de Paris, try Luxembourg’s best Italian fare at the 2-Michelin-starred Mosconi.

From charming medieval buildings and cobbled street in the Spanish spring sun, to an indulgent, cutting-edge Italian island spa, sprinkle in a wealth of world music and jazz and there is much across Europe to escape to this Easter.
