Flights to Pisa start on the 19th May and Krakow flights commence on the 26th May, while Jet2.com’s service to Cork will continue non-stop from the airline’s winter flying programme.

Visitors to Krakow at Easter can enjoy the special Easter Market and see the local people with the elaborate dried flower displays and palm fronds leaving the beautiful Wawel Cathedral after the Palm Sunday service. The people of Cork enjoy a range of Easter celebrations, from traditional services on Palm Sunday to a huge public water fight on Easter Monday!

Pisa’s Luminara di San Ranieri festival on the 16th June is worth timing your visit for. During the festival, which originates from the 17th century, the city’s bridges and famous tower are illuminated by thousands of candles creating a unique atmosphere and breathtaking spectacle.

Those after some sporting entertainment over the Easter break would be well advised to check out Cork’s Racing Home Festival with its exciting combination of National Hunt and flat racing.
