Easter is a wonderful time to discover Porto, when historic streets fill with seasonal specialties and long-standing traditions. Visitors can wander the Ribeira district, visit the Sé Cathedral and Palácio da Bolsa, and explore the city’s iconic riverfront.

Overlooking the Douro River, Tivoli Kopke Porto Gaia offers a refined base with panoramic views of Porto’s historic skyline. Guests can enjoy curated experiences including a guided visit to Quinta S. Luiz, a regional picnic, and a Kopke wine tasting back at the hotel. On Easter Sunday, Boa Vista Terrace by Nacho Manzano hosts a festive buffet lunch (USD 92 per person) featuring seafood, traditional dishes, seasonal desserts and Kopke wines. Sunset cocktails at Sky Bar Kopke or Michelin-level dining at 1638 Restaurant & Wine Bar serve as the perfect ending to this special day.

Spring brings new energy to Lisbon as sunny days invite visitors to explore historic neighborhoods, scenic viewpoints, and riverside promenades.

Located on the iconic Avenida da Liberdade, Tivoli Avenida Liberdade Lisboa places guests within easy reach of Alfama, Graça, and Baixa. Back at the hotel, they can enjoy Easter brunch at SEEN Lisboa, Portuguese seafood at Cervejaria Liberdade, a signature massage at Anantara Spa, and cocktails at SEEN Sky Bar.

With mild temperatures and fewer crowds, spring is one of the most enjoyable times to experience Portugal’s Algarve, from scenic coastal walks to village markets and ocean excursions.

At Tivoli Marina Vilamoura, Easter weekend includes live music and cocktails at The Argo Cocktail Bar, a volleyball tournament and other athletic activities, family fun at the Pluma Junior Club, and seasonal treats inspired by Alice in Wonderland at Glee Boutique Café (available March 30 to April 5). Guests can also enjoy a seaside Mare Nostrum lunch on April 3 and a festive Easter brunch on April 5 at Purobeach Beachfront.

Perched above dramatic cliffs overlooking the Atlantic, Tivoli Carvoeiro offers ocean views paired with seasonal celebrations the weekend of April 3 to 4, including Easter brunch at MED Restaurant, a lively Bossa Nova lunch in Mare Bistro (April 4 only), live music at Azur Bar, sunset DJ sessions and sushi at Sky Bar Carvoeiro, special dinner buffets, and a family-friendly egg hunt on Easter Sunday. For couples, the hotel also offers a luxurious picnic in the Belvedere Garden (USD 235 for two people), complete with Champagne, local delicacies, and stunning ocean views. Guests can also take part in regional traditions and events, such as the Holy Week processions in Lagoa  and the Carvoeiro Flower Show, which takes place between late April and early May, transforming the village into a festival of color and floral creativity by local artists. They can also explore nearby natural landmarks such as the Seven Hanging Valleys Trail and the famous Benagil caves.

Amsterdam is the ultimate springtime destination as canals reflect blooming trees, nearby tulip fields burst into color, and world‑famous museums, including the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum, enrich every visit.

Located in the Museum District, Tivoli Doelen Amsterdam offers curated seasonal experiences including Rembrandt-inspired painting workshops and private walking tours (which begin at the hotel where his famous Night Watch painting was displayed for more than 70 years), as well as canal cruises through the historic waterways. Guests can also take a vintage-car excursion to the Amsterdam Tulip Experience before returning for canal-side dining at Omber Restaurant.

With blooming gardens and warm temperatures, spring is one of the most enchanting seasons to visit Florence. 

A dream destination for lovers of art, gastronomy and sophistication, Tivoli Palazzo Gaddi Firenze is the perfect setting for a getaway. Guests can explore landmarks such as the Duomo, the Uffizi Gallery, and Ponte Vecchio before returning to the historic palace hotel for a rooftop aperitif at Aria Rooftop. 

Notable culinary experiences include a fresh pasta cooking class led by Michelin-starred Chef Iside De Cesare, and for Easter, a private four-course wine cellar lunch created by Chefs Iside De Cesare and Salvatore Canargiu. Nearby excursions to the Chianti countryside also offer tastings of the region’s renowned wines.

Tenerife offers a perfect spring escape with year-round mild weather, golden and volcanic sand beaches, dramatic volcanic landscapes, and unique marine experiences. 

Located on the island’s southern coast, Tivoli La Caleta Tenerife Resort provides an elegant base for exploring highlights such as the beaches of El Duque and Fañabé, the coves of La Caleta, Teide National Park, and historic towns like La Orotava and Garachico.

At the hotel, spring is celebrated with gastronomic and wellness experiences, including seaside dining at SEEN Restaurant, featuring local specialties like black rice with cuttlefish and prawns. Guests can also enjoy Anantara Spa’s Wellbeing Package on Easter Sunday, with brunch for two, 80-minute personalized full-body massages, and 90-minute access to the spa’s hydrotherapy facilities, sauna, Turkish bath, igloo, and outdoor terrace.
