Do you already have plans for Easter? Here are some ideas for this week in Rome.
If you’re looking for original Easter plans, Rome offers a wide range of options, from cultural traditions to unique experiences that you’ll surely enjoy. We recommend a few activities to experience Easter in a different way, while still embracing the essence of these days.
1.Experience something immersive at IKONO Rome:
If you want to start the week with an original touch and break free from your daily routine, IKONO Rome is a fantastic option. Here, you can travel through different and eclectic worlds without leaving the city—it’s the perfect activity to enjoy with family, a partner, or friends. Our recommendation? Dive into the ball pit, take a stroll down a traditional Japanese street, blend in and become part of a piece of art. Here, you’ll share unique moments where fun and laughter are guaranteed.
2. Try traditional Easter sweets:
These days will be even more special if you savor traditional Roman treats. If you want to live Easter like a true Roman, don’t miss the traditional Colomba Pasquale, a soft leavened cake with raisins and candied fruits in the shape of a dove, symbolizing peace. Also try Torta Pasqualina, a delicious puff pastry filled with ricotta cheese and eggs. Another tradition is Pizza di Pasqua, a fluffy bread that can be either sweet or savory.
3. Discover the Easter processions:
During this week, Rome is the setting for a wide variety of religious processions typical of these dates, but one of the most famous is the Good Friday Procession. A fun fact: the procession passes by some of the city’s main symbolic landmarks, including St. Peter’s Basilica and the Colosseum. You can’t miss it!
4.Experience Easter Monday like a true Roman:
Pasquetta (Easter Monday) is a holiday focused on the picnic tradition. Many Romans head to parks or areas outside the city to enjoy the day in the company of family and friends.
Enjoy an original Easter in Rome!
