There is less than a week left for the Christmas and much less for kids to start their vacation. In addition to being the best time of the year to be with family, Christmas is perfect to make a few days getaway in Europe and take advantage of the holidays we have children and parents.
Thinking about this possibility I will recommend a few trips and getaways to do with children in Europe this Christmas. Buckle up the belts we took off:
Copenhagen (Denmark)
It was the first city we traveled to with our first child when he was only six months old. The capital of Denmark is very kids friendly And it has really interesting places to enjoy with the kids. The one we liked the most was the Tivoli, an amusement park that retains that halo of the classic fairs that we like so much and that at Christmas is even more incredible. The city is full of references to Hans Christian Andersen, ranging from the famous little mermaid to the museum of his stories. They also have one of the most giant aquariums in Europe.
La Rochelle (France)
France we have very close and is an ideal destination for a short holiday with kids. Paris and Eurodisney are up to the flag these days, so I propose a marine and very quiet destination such as La Rochelle in the Poitou-Charentes region. The city has a delicious medieval helmet to walk with the children and three towers where our children will feel true explorers. In addition to the aquarium and a magnificent antique carousel, La Rochelle is attached to the island of Ré, a perfect place for bike rides or for children to discover their famous donkeys with pants. If you want fun for young and old you can approach Futuroscope.
Black Forest (Germany)
It was my last trip with the entire troop and we have become delighted. What we liked most about the Black Forest was discovering villages that seem to be taken from the stories of the Grimm brothers and surrounded by beautiful landscapes. Now at Christmas it is full of delicious markets where you can buy beautiful details for the Christmas tree or the occasional toy. This area of Germany is perfect for outdoor activities. You can stay in a farm or in family pensions where they take care of the children as if they were theirs.
Rovaniemi (Finland)
And we close this trip with the most Christmas destination in the world that is none other than Rovaniemi in Finland. This small town in Lapland is located near the Arctic Circle and is the place chosen by Santa Claus to live. What to do in the town of Santa Claus ?. In addition to visiting this endearing character, children can have fun riding reindeer sleds, enjoy the Santa Park theme park or sleep in cabins. If parents allow it, at night they can go to bed a little later and watch as the northern lights illuminate the sky.
I hope you liked these trips and getaways to do with children in Europe this Christmas. In the next few days we will discover more interesting places to enjoy the holidays with the kids.
