Holidays with children for the New Year

With young children, it is better not to spend New Year holidays abroad at all: for them it will be more stress than leisure,especially if the trip is short. The same goes for the New Year with children in warm countries. Do not give in to temptation to give a child a summer in the middle of winter, if you do not have time and / or money for a long holiday: acclimatization takes time, so there's no point in going for a week. In addition, after returning from summer to winter, a child may become ill; you do not want him to spend the winter holidays in bed with a thermometer under his arm?

Therefore, it is better to go on vacation with children on New Year's Eve in Europe. One of the best countries for family winter holidays with children is Finland. Travel agencies offer a wide range of tours to Finland specifically for families with children: here you and the "children's" hotel, and entertainment.

In addition, during a trip to Finland, you will have the opportunity to visit Lapland - the birthplace of Santa Claus. The Santa Claus Village, the most famous residence of Santa, is located near the Lapland town of Rovaniemi.

During the Christmas holidays, from December 1on January 9, the park is open from 9 am to 7 pm. The exception is December 24 (from 9 am to 3 pm), on December 25 (from 12 pm to 5 pm), on December 31 (from 9 am to 5 pm), and on 1 January (from 12 pm to 5 pm hours of the evening). Please note that some establishments in the park may have their own opening hours.

It is also worth remembering that the climate in Lapland in winter is severe enough for young children. therefore If your child is less than four years old, do not book a tour directly to Lapland. You can spend most of the rest in another part of the country with a milder climate, and in the village of Santa Claus get out for one day (good, there is a very well developed transport system).

By the way, you can meet the New Year with a child not only in Finland, but also in the Scandinavian countries - Norway, Denmark or Sweden. In all these countries, you can also pick up Christmas tours for families with children. Also an excellent option will be to New Year holidays in the Baltics - Estonia, Latvia or Lithuania.

Holidays with children on New Year's Eve in Europe alsois quite common. Czechia, France, Germany, Hungary, Austria, Italy ... All these and many other countries during the Christmas holidays are simply transformed, so that New Year holidays in Europe will become for your child a true Christmas fairy tale.

The main thing is to plan the program in advance or to choose a special tour so that the child is not bored. Acquaintance with sights is,of course, informative, but surely the child will like the trip to the zoo or amusement park more than the most informative excursion. Although, of course, children are different, so be guided by the tastes of your child.

In whatever country you decide to go, Planning a New Year's holiday with a child abroad is necessary in advance. So you have time to pick up a suitable tour, byeall did not have time to book up to you, and settle all the nuances with the documents. You do not need to spend all winter holidays abroad: after the arrival of the child should remain a few days to "relax after rest", before he returns to school or kindergarten.
