Now that the holidays are over, everyone can breathe a giant sigh of relief… and start thinking about spring! The warmer months are just around the corner, and what better way to start the summer than catching a little sun ahead of time. Spring break is one of the busiest travel seasons, however, so right now is the time to start making plans.
While winter and summer are nice for more exotic destinations, something about spring break speaks to simple luxury. Europe is a perfect choice – spring is low season, which means great discounts and no giant crowds to compete with! While the rest of the world packs into sandy hot spots like Florida or Cancun, consider the culturally stunning, history-rich coasts of the Cote d’Azur or Venice. Is there really any comparison?
Here are our picks for European destinations:
- A country of Celtic and Roman heritage, world-revered cuisine, vibrant cities and quaint villages, France is difficult to summarize. An epicenter for romance and color, France is one of the most visited countries in the world, and it is not difficult to see why. Whether your family’s interests lie in history, food, art, shopping, or luxury, France is the supreme destination for all.
- For those leaning towards a total cultural immersion, Italy is difficult to beat. With many towns of varying color and cuisine to choose from, a family can fill every minute with museums, architecture, fashion, and food. With 44 sites, Italy has more Unesco World Heritage sites than any other country in the world! And if none of that entices you, just remember that it was the Italians who invented pizza and spaghetti – yum!
- Step back in time into the misty isle of England, who straddles the continuum of historic and modern. From Stonehenge to the 2012 Olympics, England is a land of eccentric opportunity and adventure. This is the culture that gave birth to Shakespeare, the Magna Carta, and Mr. Bean! Learn about the origins of the USA in a place as equally diverse and quirky.
- Finally, if that beach vacation actually sounded pretty good, don’t worry! Spain is littered with beautiful, sprawling beaches set against green mountains, bullfighters, and medieval castles. A warm and sunny adventure land, Spain caters to the curious and comfort-seeking families. Even their dinner culture is formed around “family-style.”
