Children have special needs and expectations, and they have to be at least partly satisfied otherwise the vacation can turn into torture for everybody present. What can be interesting for you will probably be no big deal for the little ones and the opposite – children enjoy things in which you see no sense.

Rome – the capital of Italy – is one great destination for visiting. There is almost no one in Europe and in the world that will not love to see this old and beautiful city. And the best part of the offer is that is as interesting for the children as it is for you with its numerous ruins and long stories about the past battles.

The Coliseum should be the first place to start with. It is one major monument, significant part of which is kept till today. Being one of the major buildings in the ancient Rome, it is still keeping the central position in the modern life of the capital. The Coliseum is situated in the heart of the city on the right bank of the river, crossing it, which is Tiber. This is good because you will not wander too much until you find it. It is almost fifty meters high so it is easily seen from most parts of the city. The children will love to jump in the wholes, where were the old corridors of the Coliseum or up and down the tribunes, forming very good for playing stairs.

The next stop can be the Fountain di Trevi – one unique piece of architecture. It is situated in the center of the city as well and is considered to be one of the most romantic places in the planet. It may bring you back to the memories of the beginning of your life as family and wake-up sweet memories for great moments in your life.

But what you may not realise is you can spend less money and have a fantastic vacation experience right here in the UK. Explore areas of the country you haven’t visited before.

Find A Place to Go

Whenever we planned our family vacations we would automatically head somewhere sunny. While this was a fantastic option when the UK was financially stable, after the recession the air tickets, accommodation and spending for an overseas holiday wasn’t an option.

We gave it some thought and realised that we didn’t know our own country. Actually I think I knew Paris and France better than I ever knew the UK. So we started looking for short-stay apartments Northampton. We found some good options where it was self catering, saving us money and we could drive there instead of fly, an even cheaper option.

Outdoors Experiences

I love the outdoors from adventure sports to hiking and bicycling and always thought I wouldn’t find these things in the UK. I was so wrong which I found out on our holiday to Northamptonshire. After finding some short-stay apartments Northampton, we started looking at outdoor activities in the area.

Once we had arrived and settled into our self catering apartment our outdoor adventure started. There was so much to choose from right on the doorstep from hang-gliding and white river rafting to hiking and horseback riding.

I knew there were places in the UK where you could walk or cycle, these are big activities here, but I didn’t realise there were fantastic adventure sports that I love, I even got to go rally car driving. It was a phenomenal experience and one not to be forgotten.

Explore the UK

You probably wonder how I could ever consider remaining in the UK a fantastic holiday. It’s always wet and grey here, the weather is unpredictable and I’m not going to go home with a sun tan. While I may not go home from my vacation all bronzed, I guarantee I will be relaxed, I would have had an outstanding holiday doing what I love and I will be back again for more.

If you ever want to find a holiday that isn’t overly expensive, that you can reach by car within a few short hours and enjoy a host of activities, then you may want to consider staying right here in the UK.
