Five Good Options for Families Heading to Europe
Europe can be a playground for families looking to go on holiday. Almost everywhere is tourist friendly, but that doesn’t make the choice of where to go any easier. A good place to start you off thinking about locations is the Canary Islands. Here you can shape pretty much whatever kind of holiday you want. People often say this small Mediterranean atoll contains all the delights of Europe, and they’re not far wrong. You’ll find a stunning coastline with attractions galore, including whale watching tours, and inland you can discover traditional beauty and gorgeous scenery.
A lot of people overlook Bulgaria as an option, which is a shame. Gone are the days of it being a grim part of the Eastern bloc. What you’ve got now are some of the best, least spoilt beaches in Europe, and no one else around to get in the way. It’d almost unbelievable to see, and when you add to this the fact that you pay so little for a holiday here, you’ve got a gem of a location. Strandja national park is also a must-see, with hiking trails that will wow and wear out the whole family.
The Swiss Alps are a great place to stay if you want to make sure the kids get active on holiday. A skiing excursion is perfect for all the family to learn something new, or build on existing skills, at the same time as taking in wonderful surroundings. For families that want a bit of controlled adventure in their break, this is one of the top options. And of course there are other great skiing options in France and Italy too.
Spain knows how to do family holidays. It’s been one of the main sites of tourism in Europe for over half a century, and the deals on offer are great. Head to Catalonia to get a good mix of the best stuff that Spain has in store. On the coast you’ll find water sports, beautiful beaches and aquariums, and you can also make use of the top shopping destination of Barcelona.
Don’t forget Turkey either. It’s a location that gives you hot weather, reams of beach line, and some really cool cultural features too. The fact that the coast is so dotted with ruins also means that you don’t have to go far from your sunbathing to take in a bit of history.
