Traveling with your family is a whole different experience from traveling alone or just with your significant other. Family holidays are great experiences to bond, discover, learn and make great memories together, so when you are planning a family trip, you have to consider everyone’s tastes, their ages, preferences and make a selection based on all of those different factors. There are cities that are known for their great diversity and for offering something different for everyone. It is obvious you do not want to take your children to a spot only known for their nightlife and at the same time, visiting a town that only caters to the young ones can leave the adult members of your party feeling left out. On today’s post, here at Royal Holiday Travel, we want to talk about some of the places around the world that offer the most diverse and family friendly opportunities to have a great vacation with your loved ones.
London
London is a magical city where the traditional and the new, coexist in perfect harmony and can offer your family a great opportunity to learn, live new experiences and enjoy their time together. Buckingham Palace, The Tower of London, The British Museum and Westminster Abbey are some of the most classic spots that you cannot miss if you want to soak up some of the culture and architecture than a city with such rich history can offer. If you want to breathe fresh air and relax having a family picnic, you can’t go wrong visiting Hyde Park & Kensington Gardens or stroll by the Portobello Road Market to browse and purchase some souvenirs. If you want to see a breathtaking view of the city, get on the London Eye and have your camera ready. Harry Potter fans? We’ve heard London may have a thing or two for you.
Rome
It goes without saying that when it comes to culturally rich, historically important and artistically relevant, Rome is the place to visit. The Coliseum, the Pantheon, and St. Peter’s Basilica are places you cannot skip but not the only attractions this amazing city offers. The food is another great reason to visit Rome and even if the little ones get tired of so many sculptures and paintings, they will not object to the pizza, the pasta and the gelatos.
India
India is a melting pot of culture, culinary diversity, and amazing wildlife. The sheer vastness of the land makes it so that traveling across it can be an adventure in itself. The many routes you can plan together can be picked according to your interests, so traveling with your family is not going to prevent you from leaving the beaten path and getting to see what the country truly has to offer. Temples, markets, beaches, outdoor activities, animals and spirituality are everywhere, so rest assured that this is a vacation you will never forget and they will thank you for it.
Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone is the world’s first established national park. This beautiful natural reserve is almost 3,500 square miles of lakes, canyons and mountain ranges filled with diverse wildlife and amazing natural wonders. Visiting the park is an experience like no other as it is one of those unique places that make The United States so remarkable. The learning opportunities and the immense beauty found here are invaluable and hardly matched by any other vacationing spot elsewhere in the world.
