Either way, we bring you some last-minute tips to make these days as rewarding as possible – and don't forget to tell us how you'll be spending your time in this section!
If, on the other hand, you're working over these holidays, don't worry – we haven't forgotten about you, and we've got some ideas for the most hardworking adventurers this Easter.
There are plans for everyone, anywhere and in any weather.
1.- Make the most of the sea. If you're heading to the coast and good weather is on your side this Easter, you can enjoy water sports like surfing or scuba diving. You could also look for companies offering jet ski rentals for an exhilarating ride across the waves. Check here for listings of companies specialising in this sector and explore different options.
If the weather isn't right for water activities, you can still enjoy the coastal environment by joining a beach horseback riding trail – find various options via this link. You could also opt for an invigorating walk along the shore (the boldest might even go barefoot) or a boat trip to experience the open sea without getting wet.
2.- Take advantage of the last snow: For those planning to enjoy the final flurries of the snow season, it's a luxury that some resorts still have snowfall. Try joining a ski or snowboard course, explore possible snowshoeing routes for a more relaxed option, or if it's too late for that, simply hike through snowy landscapes independently for some winter trekking.
3.- Urban adventure. If you're doing an inland trip or simply staying in your city, beyond the typical cultural tours, you can discover the more adventurous side of urban areas. We suggest trying a sightseeing tour by segway; you can find various options near your area in this list of segway offers.
4.- Don't overlook gastronomy. Another way to explore places is through their flavours. Seek out wineries near your destination for a visit – besides being impressed by sprawling vineyards, you can sample the finest wines and regional specialities.
5.- Circuits and venues that'll transport you anywhere. Beyond their inherent beauty and what their streets may offer, cities have venues, parks and places that'll make you feel like you're elsewhere. Think climbing walls, artificial ski slopes, paintball fields or multi-adventure circuits – all great options for thrilling experiences without leaving town or for making the most of free time after work or before starting your day.
6.- Fun for the little ones. Many playgrounds, schools and other institutions offer urban camps during Easter break when children are off school. For last-minute urban camp options, check here for currently available listings.
If you're running late, other plans to keep your children entertained could include visiting zoos, theme parks, aquariums, safaris or multi-adventure parks.
7.- You can get anywhere on foot, or so they say. And hiking is always a solid choice. Look up companies organising trails in your area or plot your own route to explore the surroundings the simplest way: by walking. Urban trails, beach walks, mountain hikes, snow routes – wherever you fancy.
With no shortage of options, you've got no excuse not to return to work with a great adventure story to tell.
