Passover programs in Europe have become increasingly popular over the past fifteen years. Pesach 2025 begins on Saturday night, April 12th and ends on Sunday night, April 20th in Europe and Saturday night, April 19th in Israel. Passover programs will start a day earlier this year because the first night of Passover falls on a Saturday night. Instead of beginning on Erev Chag, programs will start on Friday to accommodate the three-day Yom Tov.
Passover is an ideal time to vacation in Europe without having to worry about where to eat or daven. The Pesach hotels in Europe provide Kosher for Passover food as well as daily minyanim. There are Pesach hotels that offer golfing, skiing, pools and spas. Chol Hamoed is a great time to explore the local cultural and heritage sights or lounge on the beach.
