Time leaves its mark on how we spend Easter. Every year is different. Availability and freedom of movement have been conditioned by external factors. They have led people to have strange Easter experiences. Romanians have suffered in recent years. They have not had the opportunity to spend the holiday with their family. The pandemic has imposed certain restrictions, which have been fully felt by most of those accustomed to meeting their loved ones.
Easter in 2025 seems to be freer than in the pandemic years. Romanians have regained the freedom to spend time with whoever they want. Therefore, travel plans have returned to the attention of the Romanian tourist community and beyond. Easter is a perfect "pretext" to travel around the country, especially in areas recognized for their special spiritual character.
In the Christian world, Easter is a very important holiday that captures the attention of believers. From grandmothers to the smallest family member, Easter is honored at home or in talcum powder locations around the country.
Each Romanian region provides access to easily accessible spiritual sources. The search for the guiding spirit is an activity that many Romanians engage in. The holiday is felt from the heart by Christians. Strongly and without restraint. They want active involvement in this religious holiday, which is what happens. Most of the time, Easter tourism has a life of its own.
Happy Easter holidays in Romania!
In 2025, Orthodox Easter falls on April 20. Good Friday and the second day of Easter (Monday, April 21) are days off for most Romanians. The latter take advantage of the free time to plan vacations around the country, or at least try to. Some return home and others find peace in spiritual places. At Easter, Bucovina becomes a more popular destination than ever. People want to be as close as possible to God and the monasteries of Bucovina have special connections with the divine plan.
What a difficult question, but following the research done by the Alfa rent a car Cluj team on the internet, we managed to identify a few unique things. Bucovina remains one of the most visited regions during the Easter holidays. We don't think we are sharing any news with you. However, we have found other beautiful locations that are worth having in your plans. Romanians talk about their vacations. They love to do this. They want to exchange experiences to discover new places. Very often, interactions between travelers give rise to extraordinary memories, very hard to forget!

Depending on your affinities, there is a good chance that Romania will "respond" with suitable tourist options. History, culture, spirituality and nature coexist peacefully on the territory of the country. They have managed over the years to create wonderful memories in the Romanian tourist community and beyond.
It was a pleasure to meet foreign tourists fascinated by Romania. Most people who visit the country for the first time, fall in love with it. Not surprisingly, they choose to return to Doina's lands whenever they have the opportunity. We welcome foreign enthusiasm with typical Romanian hospitality. This interaction gives rise to sincere emotions and delightful memories.
Get ready for new adventures in Romania for the Easter
Bucovina's places of worship are often visited by pilgrims (Romanians and foreigners). Among the most important monasteries and churches in the north of the country are Moldovita, Sucevita, Arbore, Humor, Patrauti, Probota, Suceava, Voronet, Putna and Dragomirna. They manage to attract the attention of travelers year after year. They come from all corners of Romania and even Europe, to feel the pulse of the Easter holiday. Bucovina is a fascinating region, periodically revitalized by the interest of tourists in monasteries, churches, nature and food.
Easter at Putna Monastery comes with special spiritual emotions, difficult to reproduce in words. The same can be said about any other monastery or place of worship that provides accommodation for Easter. The celebration in the bosom of the divine revelation is meant to awaken the soul and give it a voice. I wonder how many hear it? So, it is not surprising to see so many Romanians close to God on the occasion of the Holy Easter Holidays.
You can check the availability of monasteries in Moldova, to identify those capable of providing hosting and food. If your favorite monastery does not provide accommodation, you can always choose something nearby and then, humbly, participate in the Easter service.
The mirage of delicious Easter snacks
Most Romanian regions hide extraordinary gastronomic stories. Many of them complement the existing tourist pattern. Others become independent. They steal from the main show. Easter brings out hidden cravings for delicious dishes from the "mothballs". If you are fasting, then there are even greater chances of falling in love with everything that comes out of the Easter gastronomic pattern.
Many times, foreign tourists have been fascinated by the sublime tastes of Romanian gastronomy. Around the most important religious holidays, our cuisine shines. The most delicious dishes come to light. These are enjoyed with gusto by locals and visitors. In fact, Romanian dishes become stars in foreign tourist communities. Let's discover them better!
We know that many tourists have this curiosity. When they rent a car from us, they also consider small curiosities of this type. The Easter pilgrim is no different. We love the little questions that give meaning to a trip. Without them, the roads seem sterile, with a rigid meaning. However, a little preparation can be more than useful. It can add flavor to the trip. Let's review some of the Easter dishes that Romanians adore in the blog's digital review!
1. Cozonac
The most beloved Easter dessert is cozonac. Regardless of the size of the meal, Romanians leave room for a slice or two of cozonac. There are many options for this dessert. We have met creative chefs with the sweet dish of childhood. A cozonac with shit can be incredibly good with a glass of milk. At the same time, a cozonac with cocoa and raisins has the potential to completely transform the gastronomic experience.
2. Painted eggs
Do you think we ignore the famous painted eggs? No! The Romanian tradition of eggs must stay alive. Despite all the external cultural influences, painted eggs remain part of the Easter tradition, which is gratifying. The colors are not important. Red, blue, green, purple or yellow are the colors often used by housewives to chromatically decorate the eggs. Don't forget the tradition of knocking them. Say "Christ is Risen" and "Truly Risen" and then, knock-knock! Whoever breaks the egg wins! Enjoy your meal!
3. Easter
Another dessert? Of course! Easter is a holiday delight. The chef who prepares it can be extremely flexible in his approach. Chocolate Easter is a well-deserved "sin". Cheese Easter is the certainty that transforms the meal into a joy that is difficult to put into words. Regardless of the choice you make, we believe that you will be pleasantly impressed with every sip.
4. Steak and Soup
Easter steaks vary from region to region. No matter where you are or where you are going, you will definitely have a steak on your table. What kind? It depends. Special Easter steaks can be lamb, goat, turkey, pork and chicken. They are complemented by potatoes, salads and all kinds of vegetables prepared with care and love. Have we whetted your appetite? Imagine that you are in Bucovina, at an agrotourism guesthouse and you are about to receive the first course! We know that we also mentioned soups. They can be lamb, goat, belly or perissore. Each chef has his own gastronomic style.
Let's move on from culinary temptations, especially for those who are fasting, to tourism opportunities in Romania. When you gather enough courage to go through the most popular Easter destinations, you will discover so many interesting options that you will not even know how to stop.
Another interesting location that Romanians turn into a tourist pleasure is the Danube Delta. Even if the temperatures are not exactly high, the beauty of the Delta gives the holiday an almost mystical allure. It is worth knowing that the Danube Delta was formed over the course of over 10,000 years. Nature painted with great care and attention. This protected natural reserve offers visitors incredible chromatic shows. All through vegetation, water and animal and bird species. Also, the Danube Delta is year after year on the list of the most beautiful and dynamic places to visit in Eastern Europe.
The specific food of the Delta is unique in the world. It cannot be replicated in other locations. As you might guess, the emphasis is on fish food, which is delightful. Besides, besides the spiritual side, Easter has a strong gastronomic component. Unfortunately, many Romanians overeat and end up facing serious problems, which require medical intervention. Therefore, we recommend caution and care when eating.
Free time can be invested in family activities, especially around the big holidays. If you manage to get together with your loved ones, take advantage of every minute. It would be useful to value the moments spent with family more. As you have noticed, the year 2025 has proven to be more dangerous than we would like. From the sprout of activities that we can do on Easter, include a few or maybe more, with family members.
Christ is Risen! It becomes a necessary greeting on Easter. He is truly Risen! The right answer. Romanians honor the holiday with food and meetings with loved ones. The trip brings together almost everyone who is far from each other. Children return home and parents compete in gifts. Grandparents are in the family's attention. They spend good hours in the kitchen to cook the most delicious snacks. Cozonac is the "star" of the meal, which combined with a glass of milk or Coca-Cola, can properly complete the Easter meal.
Regardless of how you want to spend Easter, at home or away, enjoy your free time. The right time has come to transform your vacations into sources of peace, relaxation and fun. If you invest time in documentation, then there are good chances that you will create a great itinerary. We discovered a special interest of Romanians for Easter trips. Romanian tourism needs a complete revitalization. The pandemic years were not friendly. On the contrary!
