Spring is knocking at the gates of the Gulf, the air smells salty and the historic bakeries on Via dell’Indipendenza are starting to churn out steaming baking pans. Spending Easter in Gaeta<\/strong> is now a great classic for those seeking their first real “seaside getaway” of the year. <\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

This year, with Easter falling on Sunday, April 5, 2026<\/strong>, the mild climate of the Ulysses Riviera offers the perfect conditions to enjoy the city. However, there is a downside that every tourist fears: traffic and crowds on peak days. <\/p>\n\n

What to do on Easter in Gaeta: Beyond the classic stroll<\/h2>\n\n
<\/div>\n\n

Easter Sunday in Gaeta has a slow and relaxed pace. Before you sit down for the classic seafood lunch, we recommend two key stops. <\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

1. The magic of Medieval Gaeta in the morning.<\/h3>\n\n
<\/div>\n\n

Forget cars. Park near the center and wander into the alleys of Old Gaeta<\/strong> (the St. Erasmo neighborhood) on foot. On Easter morning, the medieval quarter offers incredible views without the late afternoon crowds. From the Duomo<\/a>, past the Arab-Norman Bell Tower, to the climb up to the Angioino-Aragonese Castle<\/a>, the view of the Gulf will repay you for the walk. <\/p>\n\n

2. Montagna Spaccata: the best time to visit it<\/h3>\n\n
<\/div>\n\n

The Shrine of the Holy Trinity<\/a> and the famous Montagna Spaccata<\/a><\/strong> are the city’s number one destination. Our advice? Visit it on Easter morning by 9:30 a.<\/strong>m., or late afternoon. You’ll avoid large organized groups and can listen to the sound of the sea crashing in the picturesque Grotta del Turco<\/a><\/em> in total peace. <\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

The real challenge of the long weekend is Easter Monday (April 6). The coastal road to Sperlonga easily becomes congested. Here is our smart alternative for those who want to enjoy nature without stress. <\/p>\n\n

The Panoramic Picnic at Mount Orlando Park<\/h3>\n\n
<\/div>\n\n

Why look for crowded beaches where the water is still too cold to swim when you have an entire protected natural area overlooking the sea at your disposal? The Ulysses Riviera Regional Park (Mount Orlando)<\/a><\/strong> is the perfect setting for the ritual of the Easter Monday picnic. <\/p>\n\n
