When going on vacation, we often decide to leaveour children at their grandmother's dacha, believing that it will be less trouble. And then we regret our decision and start missing them. There is a way out of this situation: you can and should travel with children. We offer some useful tips on how to make traveling with a child interesting and not at all burdensome.
A place to relax
Traveling on your own is the best wayvacation organization. This way, you will save a lot and be able to fully realize your travel ideas. Parents often hesitate to plan a trip themselves, fearing to spend too much time on it. But you can simplify your task by using the ready-made solution momondo markapoisk. Its “Where to go?” option allows you to search for the most popular vacation spots based on your needs. You specify your budget for the flight, the desired travel date, and determine your interests and mood. The search engine will select the most suitable place for your vacation at any time of the year. Moreover, it will also show some useful information about each place, such as the cost of food or interesting facts.
At the same time, we recommend that you think about the fact thatwill be interesting for your child. Little ones will enjoy frolicking in nature or on the beach, where the weather will be comfortable and not too hot. Older children will enjoy active entertainment, such as amusement parks. Children aged 6-7 will appreciate the cultural and entertainment program with interesting excursions and trips to museums. Thanks to the weather selection function in the "Where to go?" option, you can choose the most optimal climate for your trip: hot (+26), warm (+14-25°C), moderate (+6-13°C) or cool (+5°C and below). In general, a vacation with children suggests a quiet place, without extreme sports and exoticism. Strive to choose a mild climate, not much different from the weather that your household is used to. This will make it much easier for your baby to get used to the new environment.
On the plane
Many airlines offer discounts on tickets forchildren, and hotels do not charge for the accommodation of very tiny babies. For example, flights on Russian domestic flights are free for children under 2 years old, and on international flights, significant discounts are often provided. But keep in mind that you will have to hold your child in your arms during the entire flight. If you have a seat at the front of the cabin, then you can be provided with a free cradle for the baby on the plane. And if you have two children, they will have seats on the plane, but in this case you pay half the cost of a regular ticket for "adults". Sometimes airlines give their little passengers nice gifts. Kids will be delighted with a new teddy bear or a cute travel set.
Hotels
It is best to find a hotel in the city center.This way, you will be more free to move around and will be able, for example, to go for a walk, leaving your child with your husband. When choosing a hotel, read reviews from other visitors with small children. This way, you will be able to learn about the disadvantages and advantages of the hotel you have chosen in advance. Details, such as a play area for children or animators will help the child not to get bored. But, for example, in France, Italy, Sweden, Norway or Denmark, we recommend renting accommodation. This way, you will save money and be comfortable, because hotels in these places often do not provide solutions for vacations with children.
