Heading to Europe for a vacation can be an exciting time. Naturally, if you head there from the United States, then there is likely a large financial investment taking place on your part. Anyone heading over the Atlantic for their family vacation will want to ensure that they head to an exciting destination that is well worth their outlay.
We looked at some of the best family vacation destinations in Europe and why you should consider heading there on your next trip.
Crete, Greece
Crete is the largest of the Greek islands and has a rich history attached to it, and is considered by many to be the birthplace of modern civilisation. If you like your vacation to have a little bit of all elements contained within it, then you could do a lot worse to head here.
There is history, nature, modern cultural experiences, and waterparks for the children, gorgeous restaurants, and beaches that will astound you. Crete’s location in the southern Mediterranean sees it enjoying an African-type climate, so if heat and sunshine are your vacation vices it’s a definite ‘must do’ trip!
Madeira, Portugal
This Portuguese island in the Atlantic is one of the most tranquil destinations in the whole of Europe. We’d suggest travelling here during the month of July, as every Saturday throughout the month there are huge celebrations as a fireworks festival takes place across the island.
If you thought Macy’s in New York was impressive on Fourth of July, then the Madeira displays, the world’s largest for the past five years, will blow your mind.
Madeira offers a calm, relaxing vacation that will allow for quality family time while having great fun and recharging your batteries.
South of France
Many non-European natives tend to head to the islands, and although we have suggested two great ideas, there is no doubting that various locations on the mainland have much to offer, too.
The South of France is popular with tourists from all around the world, as well as being a favourite destination for the rich and famous of the area to congregate and, in many cases, live. The principality of Monaco and the city of Marseilles are two excellent places to visit, although in truth there are outstanding sights to see all along the southern French coastline.
As well as the stunning local area, the South of France also serves as a perfect gateway to the beautiful northern areas of Spain and Italy.
