Spring break is just around the corner, children are already tired of studying, parents are tired of work, which means it's time to go on a little family trip. What should you choose, depending on the child's age, family preferences and travel budget? Let's figure it out together!
Junior classes (6 - 10 years old)
If the child is still small, the planned trip must meet three main requirements: a short direct flight, the absence of a sharp climatic change, and an easy excursion and entertainment program. Thus, the following options work well.
Sightseeing trip
It will be an excellent option for a spring trip with children. It has an amazing LEGO city that is delighted not only by kids, but also by adults. Dozens of huge buildings built from a designer, the ability to independently create any figure, attractions and cafes - all this will take more than one hour, or even a day.
Don't forget about Andersen's Animated Fairy Tale Museum, also located in Copenhagen, and the famous Experimentarium, a hands-on museum where children can learn about the laws of nature, presented in very unusual ways.
To the sea, to the sun
Good sea \u200b\u200brest in March can boast. Parents will be pleased low prices and a small number of people on the beaches and in hotels, and children will enjoy the cool weather, warm sea and a rich animation program.

Native open spaces
If the child did not finish the quarter very well, and you think that he does not deserve a foreign trip, you can always go to one of the cities of Russia. Of course, Gold ring and its ancient churches will hardly be of interest to a little tourist, but we also have more tempting options.

The Arkhangelsk Region and Karelia will delight you with full-fledged winter landscapes, ski walks and riding deer and dogs. Here you can combine leisure from bus excursionsand parents will love the local saunas and the opportunity to sample spirits while the kids fiddle with one of the friendly harness huskies.
Secondary school (11 - 13 years old)
If the child has already grown up and can tolerate long flights normally, you can choose equally interesting options.
Sightseeing trip
Who has not read the book about Harry Potter, the little wizard who defeated universal evil? If your child is also a fan of a fantastic saga, then a visit would be an excellent European option. The Hogwarts Dining Room at Oxford College, Platform 9 at King's Cross Station, and the many castles where the film was filmed will leave no one indifferent.

By the way, although it is easy to buy tickets to London, you should get a visa in advance. Well, if you already have the coveted document, it remains only to pack your suitcases.

With children, you can not only swim and sunbathe, but also go to observation deck Burj Khalifa, a singing fountain or a huge aquarium, and spend the whole day at one of the local water parks.

Senior classes (14 - 17 years old)
At this age, the easiest way to entertain a child well is to realize his desire. A teenager may well plan his dream vacation himself within the allotted budget. If he doesn't know what to choose, offer him these options.
Sightseeing trip
Select european city in March it is not easy, because in each of them, in addition to traditional attractions, there are also seasonal ones. music festivals, art exhibitions and costumed processions - any city becomes a huge celebration.
We recommend a flower parade in the Netherlands, a tour of the castles in France, or a trip to or rest in warm and hospitable Italy, where excursions can be interspersed with gastronomic tours and shopping.
To the sea, to the sun
Since teenagers cannot be scared by a long flight and acclimatization, you can safely go with the whole family to, without forgetting to get the necessary vaccinations. Exotic nature, fruits and seafood, a different culture and numerous attractions will allow the child not only to relax, but also to gain a lot of new knowledge.

And these cities will simply be teeming with tourists. So you will not see a calm rest. And it’s likely that you will only get tired more than rest.

Spring break can be called a dress rehearsal before the long-awaited summer vacation months. This is a great opportunity to escape from the school routine, change the environment and recharge yourself with positive emotions. We are looking where to go for spring break with a child.
Moscow
The Russian capital provides a lot of opportunities for families with children. Usually everyone goes to Gorky Park, which, in turn, will stretch along the river for 7 kilometers. This is the most famous Moscow park and needs no introduction.
