If you’re the kind of person that loves to spend the holidays with your friends and family, then why not book a vacation? Although it can be great to stay at home and enjoy the time off with your loved ones at home, it’s even better when you can explore a new destination and make new memories across the world. Of course, with so many destinations to choose from, finding the right one for you can be difficult. Luckily, we’ve done the hard work for you, as these are the best destinations to travel to over Easter.

Rome, Italy

Rome is one of the most incredible cities in the world, and it seems as though its charm hikes up a notch during the Easter period. That’s because Rome is the epicenter of the Catholic faith, which means that people travel across the world to visit the Vatican and take part in various Easter traditions. You can go on an Easter egg hunt, you can take a tour of St. Peter’s Basilica, you can see the spring blooms for yourself, and you can even attend the famous Easter Sunday mass.

Washington, DC, USA

If you’ve always fancied a trip to Washington, then Easter may be the push you need to book your flights. That’s because Easter has always been a big deal in Washington, and the festivities definitely ramp up around the White House. Whether you get chosen to attend the famous White House Easter egg rolling event or whether you just want to check out the cherry blossom around DC, this place is sure to put a smile on your face.

Amsterdam, The Netherlands

If you’re a fan of flowers, then a trip to Amsterdam should definitely be on the cards this Easter. This city is famous for its tulip fields and colorful flowers, and they are in full bloom during the Spring. Although you can simply wander around these fields, why don’t you follow in the pedals of the locals and rent a bike? Once you’ve ogled the flowers and the traditional windmills, you can then make your way back to the center of the city and check out the canals and the pancake houses.

If you’re looking to get away from it all and truly celebrate with your loved ones this Easter, we think it’s about time you chose your destination of choice.

Daniel J. Travanti played the main character Detective Frank Furillo, who was the captain of Hill Street Station. Travanti came from humble beginnings — he was born in Wisconsin to Italian immigrant parents. He started acting in 1964, at first playing small characters. Travanti’s art imitated his life, as he struggled with alcoholism and his character Detective Furillo also had issues with drinking. Travanti was nominated 5 times and won 2 Emmy awards for his acting on Hill Street Blues.

Daniel J. Travanti has had quite the career since finishing the Hill Street Blues series. He starred in the TV movie Adam, which earned him his sixth Emmy nomination. He has appeared in two off-broadway plays, Oren Safdie’s The Last Word… and Eugene O’Neil’s A Touch of the Poet. He had a guest spot as an Alzheimer’s-afflicted serial killer on Criminal Minds, and most recently has risen to prominence again for his role as Callen’s father on NCIS: Los Angeles.

Michael Warren starred as Officer Bobby Hill in 146 episodes of Hill Street Blues. Warren was a star college basketball player at UCLA before making his name in show business. The African-American actor was paired with ‘Cowboy’ Renko, a stereotypical redneck cop, and the tensions between the two fueled many episode plots. Michael Warren earned an Emmy nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series in 1982 for his role on the show, but failed to win the statue.

Since the end of Hill Street Blues, Michael Warren has moved on to bigger and better things. Warren appeared in many small roles, guest starring as Khadjiah’s father in Living Single and on an episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. The multi-talented man was inducted into the UCLA Athletic Hall of Fame and the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame for his success playing college basketball. Fun fact: His son Cash Warren is married to actress and billion-dollar health empire maven Jessica Alba.

Jeffrey Tambor played eccentric Judge Alan Wachtel on the series, who in one famous scene was depicted smoking a pipe and cross-dressing as a woman, all while conducting a case. He first surfaced on the show as a sketchy, immoral lawyer, but was appointed to the bench because of politics. Tambor had small roles before playing Judge Wachtel, in Kojak, Starsky & Hutch, and Taxi, but his twenty appearances on Hill Street Blues are what made him a household name.

Since ending his run on Hill Street Blues, Jeffrey Tambor has become a Hollywood powerhouse. He starred on Arrested Development, which earned him his fifth Emmy nomination. He made appearances in the blockbusters The Hangover and Monsters Vs. Aliens, and had several cameos on Entourage. In addition to acting, he wrote an autobiography titled Are You Anybody? A Memoir. More recently, he has come under fire due to allegations of inappropriate behavior and has been kicked off the show Transparent.

Joe Spano was already an established actor before joining the cast of Hill Street Blues – he debuted as Paris in Romeo and Juliet in 1968. He helped found the Berkley Repertory Theater and appeared in their productions for 10 years, after which he moved to Los Angeles and had guest roles in American Graffiti and The Enforcer. On Hill Street Blues he played Officer Henry Goldblume, a hostage negotiator and street gang expert who was sensitive and sympathetic to crime victims.

After Hill Street Blues ended, Joe Spano was never far from the small screen. He was spotted in the popular police drama shows NYPD Blue and Murder One. He also had some guest starring roles on The X Files and Amazing Grace. He won an Emmy award for Best Guest Actor and has had a recurring role on NCIS, keeping his name hot even 30 years after he appeared on Hill Street Blues. He is also a very active stage actor.

Megan Gallagher played a tough talking blonde bombshell on Hill Street Blues, but she had many roles before Officer Tina Russo. An actress since the age of five, to a mother who had been an actress in her youth. Megan was so dedicated to her craft that she even skipped her senior high school prom in favor of rehearsals for a local theater production. She studied acting at the prestigious Julliard school under the training of the esteemed John Houseman.

After Hill Street Blues, Megan Gallagher did not fade into obscurity. She appeared on stage in the Broadway production of Angels in America. She had recurring roles on LA Law and China Beach. Megan played Catherine Black on the show Millenium, a character who was written by creator Chris Carter specifically for her, as he was a fan of her work. She also had a featured role on the courtroom drama Suits, whose main actress, Meghan Markle, is now engaged to Prince Harry.

Los Angeles-born actor James B. Sikking played the unforgettable Lieutenant Howard Hunter on Hill Street Blues, a rough and tumble officer who was always looking for a fight. Lieutenant Hunter was the head of the EAT (Emergency Action Team) Squad, which is equivalent to a SWAT team in today’s world. Before his role on Hill Street Blues, James B. Sikking had appeared in movies as early as 1955. Before Hill Street Blues he appeared on episodes of Bonanza and Perry Mason.

James B. Sikking continued to be a TV star after his time on Hill Street Blues. He starred as Dr. David Howser, the father of the main character on Doogie Howser, M.D. He voiced a main character in the animated series Invasion America, and starred as Captain Stan Jonas on the drama Brooklyn South. Brooklyn South and Doogie Howser, M.D., were both created by Hill Street Blues creator Steven Bochco, so James B. Sikking has him to thank for his career!

Jon Cypher played Hill Street Blues‘ most frustrating character – the arrogant and self-righteous Chief of Police Fletcher P. Daniels. Chief Daniels was notorious for always ignoring the important words of Detective Furillo, which inevitably led to disaster. But Jon played lots of other characters before his time on Hill Street Blues. He was the original star of Cinderella, playing Prince Charming opposite Julie Andrews. Before his acting career took off, Jon earned a master’s degree in marriage and family counseling.

After Hill Street Blues, Jon Cypher went on to star in the major TV hits Dynasty and Knot’s Landing. Nowadays he is retired from acting and prefers the quiet life with his second wife, Carol. He walks with a cane because of a nasty fall he suffered during a dress rehearsal for a production of Oliver! Recently, when a reporter asked him for the motivation behind his 47 year career, Cypher explained that his work ethic was fueled by “poverty.”

Dennis Franz has the honor of playing two different characters during his time on Hill Street Blues. He first played corrupt Detective Sal Benedetto of Midtown Vice. Detective Benedetto committed suicide and Dennis didn’t appear on Hill Street Blues for three seasons. However, fans loved him so much that Dennis was re-written into the series as a new character, Lt. Norman “Guido” Buntz, an officer who prefers to take the easy way out. Detective Buntz was often investigated by the internal affairs department.

Dennis Franz was destined to play cops, and for almost all of his acting career he has been cast as a police officer. He earned four Emmy Awards for his portrayal of Officer Andy Simowicz on NYPD Blue (according to Dennis, his 28th role a cop!) Despite all his success, Dennis has chosen to walk away from the spotlight and has not acted since 2005. However, he did make a rare public appearance at the 2016 Emmy Awards, thrilling his fans.

Charles Haid was originally cast for just one episode of Hill Street Blues, but impressed the network executives so much that they insisted he be written into the series as a regular character. He played Officer Andy Renko, a stereotypical redneck type who loved country music and clashed with his African-American partner, Officer Bobby Hill. When frustrated, Renko exclaimed “Lordy, Bobby Hill.” But underneath Renko’s tough exterior was a sensitive and kind man, who could be surprisingly vulnerable in unexpected times.

“What I really want to do is direct,” says the old joke about actors, but Charles Haid has actually done it. Nowadays, Charles is a well-respected Hollywood director. He directed many episodes of hit shows Nip/Tuck, Sons of Anarchy, and Breaking Bad. He directed an episode of ER which earned him a Director’s Guild Award. Haid currently directs Criminal Minds, and also has a recurring role as serial killer Randall Garner on the series. Talk about a multi-talented Hollywood power player!

Jennifer Tilly played one of the most memorable minor characters on Hill Street Blues. The exotic beauty, of mixed Chinese and European descent, was born in California. She was known for her distinctive, sultry voice. She portrayed Gina Srignoli, the widow of a mobster who was romantically involved with Detective Goldblume. Upon her death, she left millions to detective Goldblume in her will, making him instantly wealthy. While she was not a major character on the show, she was unforgettable.

Jennifer Tilly went on to have a successful Hollywood career after Hill Street Blues. She was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Bullets Over Broadway.

Barbara Bosson rose to fame because of her role as Fay Furillo, the ex-wife of Detective Frank Furillo. As the mother of his son, they were in frequent contact, and it was clear Fay was still infatuated with her ex-husband. She was heavily dependent on him and always held out hope they would get back together. Fay often began conversations with her ex by saying. “Hey buster!’ In real life, Barbara Bosson was happily married to Hill Street Blues‘ creator, Steven Bochco.

Barbara Bosson’s career didn’t stop after Hill Street Blues went off the air. Barbara had a guest appearance on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. She had the help of being married to industry insider Steven Bochco. She starred in several shows her husband created, including Hill Street Blues, LA Law, Murder One, and Cop Rock.

Betty Thomas played gruff Detective Lucille Bates on Hill Street Blues. Her character was always on the defense and never wanted to be perceived as a weak woman, and she wanted to prove that she was as tough as any of the men. By the end of the series, Detective Bates made her way from rookie officer to Lieutenant. Betty earned seven Emmy Award nominations and won the coveted statue once, for Best Supporting Actress, during her time on the show.

In her post-Hill Street Blues career, Betty Thomas found herself behind the camera more often than in front of it. She directed premiere episodes of Doogie Howser, M.D. and Hooperman. For her work directing HBO’s Dream On, she earned an Emmy award for Best Director. However, Betty’s biggest success was directing the box office smash The Brady Bunch Movie. It is one of the highest-grossing films directed by a woman to date, which she followed up with Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel.

Taurean is a born-again Christian and moved to Atlanta in order to provide a more family-friendly environment for his adopted children. He has stated that his faith is his motivation to help children without parents.

Robert Clohessy had an interesting life before portraying Officer Patrick Flaherty on Hill Street Blues. The New York-born son of a police officer was a prolific street fighter who eventually channeled his violence into a more constructive venture – he fought in the 1975 Golden Gloves boxing match in Madison Square Garden.

Veronica also showed up on ABC’s hit series Lost, playing Margo Shepherd – the mother of main character Jack. Finally, she had a recurring role on NBC’s Third Watch, but overall, it seems Veronica prefers to keep a low profile and stay under the radar.
