It generally falls between March 22 and April 25, on the Sunday after the first full moon (known as the Paschal Full moon) following the spring equinox. The celebrations during the Easter time have been documented since the 2nd century CE, and Rome, being the home to the Vatican City (the centre of the Catholic Church), is a central location for the traditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year, on April 20th, <\/span>Easter in Rome<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will be celebrated in a very special way as it coincides with the \u201cJubilee Year,\u201d which is considered a holy year celebrated every 25 years by the Catholic Church.

The Pope\u2019s Easter Mass is held at St. Peter\u2019s Basilica in the Vatican City and generally starts around 9:30 AM (CET). Thousands of pilgrims, as well as tourists gather in the square to hear the speech of Pope, Urbi et Orbi blessing, which is referred to as a message of hope and peace to the world. The beautiful choral music, prayers, hymns, and the atmosphere create a once-in-lifetime moment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Important info:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> St. Peter\u2019s Square remains open every day and the entrance is free.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Pro Tip:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the square fills up quickly, try to arrive as early as possible to secure a better spot.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you cannot attend the event personally, do not worry, it is broadcast on large screens throughout the city.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>2.

Situated in the centre of Rome, east of the Roman Forum, the Colosseum draws millions of visitors every year. People visit it from all over the world to witness its magnificent engineering and to fantasize about the historical events that happened within its walls.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Roman Forum, situated adjacent to the Colosseum, one of the best attractions to visit in Rome, once the bustling heart of ancient Rome, is another place to be during the Easter holidays. Here, you can explore the ruins of basilicas, temples and other structures to walk through the history of the place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Good Friday, the Colosseum transforms into a stage for the Via Crucis or Way of the Cross. This procession, led by the Pope himself, honours the final journey of Jesus Christ. The Colosseum, illuminated against the night sky, provides a dramatic performance for this deeply spiritual event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Important Info:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The Colosseum, Forum, and Palatine Hill are open on Easter Sunday and Monday, although the Colosseum will close at around noon on Good Friday to prepare for the Pope&#8217;s procession there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Pro Tip:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Via Crucis is a moving experience that is also emotionally intense. So prepare for large crowds and arrive well in advance to find a suitable viewing spot.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For normal days, to visit the Colosseum with the least crowds, go at 8:30 AM when they open, or 1-2 hours before the last entry.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>3.

You can see them strolling along the Tiber with friends or having a picnic with family in Villa Borghese. They take this day slowly, just soak in the sunshine and unwind with others. You can also join them for a relaxing Monday or a picnic and spend some time with each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Important Info:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Most of the <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.isango.com\/theguidebook\/romantic-rome-the-ancient-city-of-love\/\">must-see attractions in Rome<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> remain closed on Easter Monday.
