What To Do In Sydney For The Best-Ever Easter Long Weekend
So you’ve suddenly come to this point in the year – seriously, how is it April already? – and you’ve found yourself with four days off for the Easter long weekend and no plans. How often does that happen?
[related_articles]57618,57226,46435[/related_articles]It’s the time to get up and out and do something – more than just eating chocolate (even if that’s in gelato or cocktail form). We know it’s getting cold, but that’s no excuse to rug up indoors just yet. At least not for the whole weekend. Take some time to get out and about, with some of these best picks around the city this Easter long weekend.
What to do in Sydney this Easter long weekend
Rainbow Dessert Lane, Grounds of Alexandria

Check in on Easter Saturday (April 21) at 3pm for the annual “Community Giant Easter Egg Cracking”, where an enormous (we’re serious, you need to see it to believe it) egg cracked and shared around.
