Israel

The Israeli Red Sea coast (Eilat) is the place where summer lingers for a long time. At the end of October, the air temperature here during the day reaches +33°, and the water +24°. The evenings are significantly cooler, the mercury drops to +21°. During the autumn holidays there may be several rainy days- October brings rain to the country. But the cool weather does not prevent you from traveling around Israel, and this country has something to show children. An excursion to the Biblical Zoo (Jerusalem), the Safari Zoo (Ramat Gan) and the crocodile farm (Hamat Gader) will be remembered for a long time.

A good way to see all the sights of the country is to visit the Mini Israel Park. Boys will appreciate the Science and Technology Museum, and girls will appreciate the Doll Museum (Haifa). Holon is home to the famous Children's Museum.

Jordan

The country neighboring Israel is still considered an exotic destination for tourists, although it is comfortable to relax here with children all year round. Jordanian resorts on the Red and Dead Seas delight those who are escaping the cold autumn to warmer climes. For example, in the resort of Aqaba, the daytime temperature is +33°, the night temperature is +22°, and the water temperature does not drop below +27°.

The hotel infrastructure is at a decent level; it is not difficult to find a hotel with a children's playground and green area. The excursion program will especially delight connoisseurs of ancient history.


Greece

The end of October on the Greek islands is still more likely to be autumn than summer. Moderate daytime heat (+25-28°), still pleasant water (+22-24°) ​​and cool evenings are more suitable for holidays with teenagers. The weather at this time is changeable, there may be rain and a cool wind, so jackets must be on the list of things, and excursions must be on the vacation program. Fortunately, island resorts are full of children's entertainment. For example, it is famous not only for its remarkably preserved ancient buildings, but also for its bird zoo, and the island invites you to an aquarium. Water parks in Greece are no longer open at this time, but the hotel pool is also suitable for swimming children.



Egypt

The best time to vacation in this country is in October. The heat is still at +28-31°, the sea temperature remains +26-27°. The evenings give a pleasant coolness - at sunset the thermometers show +20-22°. Under such conditions, I would like to focus on beach holiday. But if the children are ready to devote a day or two to excursions, then now is the time for trips, especially if you plan to see the sights of Luxor - in the summer its +50° is not at all conducive to walking.

Curious teenagers will be happy to visit the Papyrus Museum or the Mummification Museum. It is interesting to visit the Solar Boat Museum in Giza and the Pharaonic Village in Cairo. For a carefree holiday without leaving the resorts, water parks and amusement parks in Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh are suitable. Animators and nannies will help organize children's leisure time.

Be sure to make a wish on the Charles Bridge, look at the funny puppets in the souvenir shops and stop by the grandiose St. Vitus Cathedral. If you and your child love animals, then you will certainly enjoy visiting the Prague Zoo. You don’t have to limit yourself to Prague alone, but drive through its surroundings, where there are so many medieval castles. In general, Czech travel agencies offer short-term tours to Stenberk Castle, the Karlovy Vary resort and even to the German Dresden, located not very far from Prague.

3. Latvia: weekend in Riga. Riga is an excellent choice for a trip there during the autumn holidays with a high school student. They will be able to appreciate its medieval flavor and appreciate the elegance of architectural delights. Climb your child to the bell tower of St. Peter's Cathedral, and also go and listen to the famous organ of the Dome Cathedral. There are many cafes in Riga where he plays live music, and their cheerful atmosphere will certainly not leave teenagers indifferent! And while you are in Riga, visit the Museum of Occupation, the exhibition of which is dedicated to the tragic events of the history of Latvia in the twentieth century. Also, take a photo for memory near business card Riga - the chic home of the Blackheads.

4. Belarus: Minsk, Khatyn, Mir Castle. The main acquaintance begins with a sightseeing tour of Minsk. Older schoolchildren can be introduced to the architectural monuments of the city, and those who are younger can be taken to the Open World Oceanography Center, the Minsk Zoo, and taken on an exciting journey through the children's railway. If your teenager is interested in history, then take him to memorial Complex"Khatyn", erected in memory of those killed in the Second World War Belarusians And be sure to visit the Mir Castle, built in the sixteenth century, which is located in the Grodno region.

5. Northern capitals: Helsinki, Stockholm. If you live nearby, then the program for your autumn trip with your child may look like this: you travel from St. Petersburg to Helsinki by train or bus, take a sightseeing tour of the city, then head for Turku, where the ferry will be waiting for you. In the morning, you will already wake up in Stockholm. All the places that will be incredibly interesting for schoolchildren are located on the island of Djurgården: - this is the Junibacken museum, which was created based on the books of Astrid Lindgren, be sure to look into the house of Pippi Longstocking; - the Vasa Museum, which stores a single, but priceless exhibit - an ancient ship that lay on the seabed for more than three centuries and was raised from there at the end of the twentieth century; - Skansen ethnographic park, with an interesting zoo. Stockholm is beautiful both day and night, especially its famous Stortorget square.

6. Germany: Berlin, Dresden. Bus tours– one of the most democratic types of travel. We invite you to try it on your trip during the autumn holidays. Leaving Moscow, you will cross Poland, then reach Berlin. In a few days spent in this wonderful city, you will look at the famous Brandenburg Gate, get acquainted with the Reichstag building, and visit the Berlin Zoo. From Berlin you can book a one-day excursion to the city of palaces and gardens - Potsdam. Then you can move to Dresden, where you must visit the world-famous art gallery, where you will see the “Sistine Madonna” with your own eyes. By the way, entry there for children under seventeen years of age is free, and for adults the price is quite affordable - ten euros. And on Theater Square, located in the very heart of magnificent Dresden, be sure to sit in one of the cozy cafes with a cup of wonderful coffee. Little schoolchildren will definitely be pleased with the fact that in all German cities merry people ply the streets open trains.

7. England: London, Oxford. Let’s say right away that a holiday in England is not conducive to saving money, since this country is not cheap in principle. But, if you go on autumn holidays with a teenager, you can try to make your tour a little more budget-friendly by choosing to spend the night in local hostels, many of which are located in the city center. This will allow you to “kill two birds with one stone”: save on transport and housing, because you will only need to spend the night in a hostel. By the way, London hostels are very clean and decent establishments where you can rent a room for two or three people, which will suit you quite well with a child. It's great to know that entry to most London museums is free. As soon as you get acquainted with the English capital, you can safely move to Oxford - magnificent city, standing on the banks of the Thames. This city is incredibly inspiring to study! If you are on vacation with a schoolchild junior classes, then he will probably appreciate the places where Harry Potter was filmed. For example, Christ Church College or the Bodleian Library.

8. Spain: Catalonia.– the legendary Catalan capital – one of the most popular cities for a vacation with a child, because the weather here is excellent all year round. You will have an unforgettable acquaintance with the impressive and fantastic architecture of Antoni Gaudi: Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, Casa Mila, Casa Batllo. To get to know Barcelona itself better, be sure to purchase a ticket for Bus Touristik - the city's sightseeing bus, which stops close to all the city's major attractions. In general, three routes around the city are offered to vacationers, which can be viewed in advance via the Internet. At any stop you can get off, change to other routes, all with one ticket, and the audio guide in Russian will tell you everything very carefully about famous places Barcelona. It is very interesting to visit the Barcelona Aquarium with your schoolchildren, where sharks, whales and other marine life will swim overhead while you move through the underwater tunnel. And, of course, if you are in Catalonia, you should definitely visit famous park entertainment in Spain - . There is also a water park adjacent to the park, but tickets must be purchased separately. What makes me happy is that water attractions and the slides are open here even in the fall. To appreciate all the opportunities offered in the theme areas of the park, spend at least two days here. By the way, you can stay for these couple of days directly in hotels located directly on the territory of Port Aventura. But be sure to make reservations in advance.

9. Italy: Rome and Venice. The most popular places in Italy where you can go on autumn holidays with a child are Rome and Venice. IN Italian capital, you can choose from a huge number of excursions offered by travel agencies for parents and their children: Interactive Museum of History Ancient Rome with a 5D cinema, the Museum of Roman Legionnaires, where your child and you can not only try on Roman armor, but also take a couple of lessons in gladiatorial combat, a Planetarium in the Museum of Roman Civilization and many other equally interesting offers. In Venice, you absolutely must take the whole family on a gondola ride. But when coming there for the autumn holidays, dress warmly, in a jacket, otherwise the dampness will do its insidious work. However, visiting Venice without taking a gondola ride along its canals is unthinkable. You can also ride a Tragetto - one of the types of public transport that is cheap, but on it you can also see the majestic Venetian palazzos and other architectural monuments.

We have offered you several ideas of where you can visit with your child during the autumn holidays, and only you can decide what is closer and more interesting to you. Still, we hope that we were able to help you with our vacation information.
