If you are thinking of taking the family to Europe for a vacation, you might be confused by all of the different options. Europe has so many exciting destinations including beach holidays, ski holidays, and adventure holidays that it can be hard to decide which will create an enjoyable and memorable vacation for the adults and the children in your family. Here is a list of some of the top family-oriented vacation destinations that Europe has to offer.
Euro Disney, France
Whether you have visited similar destinations in America or not, your children will not want to miss out on this fabulous family outing. You can enjoy your time there looking at attractions, mingling with characters, and enjoying some of the best thrill rides that Europe has to offer. There are also some fantastic shows in 3D, like “Honey I Shrunk the Audience” and other adventures like Pirates in the Caribbean. Though France does not experience the nice weather as frequently as Florida or California, this can work to your advantage. If you have always wanted to see the Eiffel Tower, you will be very close to there too.
Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona offers a wonderful family vacation for those who want to experience a little culture whilst they chill out. Spain has some wonderful beaches and museums to offer for the whole family, and a pleasant climate that won’t be too much of a culture shock. The highlights of Barcelona for families include the Old City walks, strolls along the Las Ramblas, shopping, waterfront activities, and a truly spectacular aquarium which you will not want to miss.
Pompeii, Italy
Pompeii is an intriguing destination that will have you and your children spellbound. The thrill of exploring a lost city is too much of a temptation for most of the children and adults who come here. There are casts to see of animals and people, ancient houses, baths, taverns, and temples to explore, and a whole underground system that appears to have been frozen in time. Pompeii was buried underneath an incredible amount of ash when Mt. Vesuvius erupted almost 2,000 years ago. The town of Pompeii is exciting, unique, and incredibly well-preserved. You and your children will learn something here, as well as being captivated from start to finish.
London, England
London is a busy city with much to offer both child and adult tourists. You can visit the Queen in Buckingham Palace, watch the changing of the guard, look at the fabulous crown jewels which are on display in the Tower of London, and see some magnificent museums which are located within the nation’s capital. London is a great family destination because there are so many historic sites mixed in with the modern. You can ride the London Eye, take a ghost tour, and even see where Harry Potter and his friends hung out.
