Summer holidays with the whole family in Finland
A long-awaited vacation is coming? Want to spend this wonderful time with your family? Where to go?
Family travel (of course, if we are not talking about traveling to the nearest suburban area) is not cheap, especially if the family is large. After all, everyone needs to buy a plane or train ticket, book several rooms in a hotel, organize leisure. The situation is even more complicated if you have very young children, because they are harmful to abrupt climate change.
Do I have to stay home?
There's always a way out!
Do you remember that the nearest European country, Finland, is just a few hours from St. Petersburg? Therefore, it is very easy to get here by car. And you don’t need any hotel – it’s best to simply rent a cottage with several separate bedrooms. In this case, you will have the opportunity to have breakfast, lunch and dinner (on the terrace or in a cozy kitchen), arrange gatherings by the fireplace, play board games in the living room or just lie around with the whole family at the TV, but everyone will have the opportunity to retire.
By the way, about young children - in cottages there are usually both cribs and chairs for babies (and in some cottages there is even a pot).
What to do to make a family holiday in Finland more interesting?
Be sure to take a boat ride on the lake, enjoy delicious berries directly from the bush, arrange a competition to collect mushrooms (fortunately they grow right near the cottages).
What about fishing? What can be a family holiday in Finland without fishing? Who will catch the biggest fish? Who's the best? Have your children ever fished before? It's time to teach them! Can't you imagine a vacation without shopping? And that's not a problem! A huge number of shopping centers, which are located in the center of small towns. Can't the kids take shopping? In this case, and do not drag them there - almost all major stores have beautiful playgrounds, and what a delicious ice cream!!! Well, who would refuse that?! By the way, since the end of June, a real marathon of sales begins in stores (maybe the children will watch something). All the above is perfect for summer, suitable for autumn and spring.
What is a family holiday in Finland in winter? The best summer family vacation in Finland can only be winter. Where else can you fall in the snow like that? Where are the biggest and snow-white snowmen? Where can I ride with the breeze in a deer or dog sled? And finally, where does Santa live? Visiting Santa, too, there are classes for the whole family - someone will look for treasures with the dwarves, someone will help prepare Christmas cookies, and someone may just sit on Santa's lap. . What else do you need to make the memories of a family holiday in Finland unforgettable? Just bring your camera and a good mood! Or maybe you want to make a small film about your family vacation in Finland and watch it together, recharged with positive energy over and over again?
Don’t forget your camera and a good rest!
