With Summer over for another year, the best way to get over the summer blues may be to start planning next year’s family holiday. Quite often, many parents prefer to plan vacations far in advance to simply get better value for their money from the local travel agent; however, others prefer to wait until the last minute. Regardless, family holidays are not just for the summer period, although this period is preferred due to school holidays. If you are looking for inspiration and some of the best destinations for a family holiday then look no further.
Corfu, Greece
Corfu is one of the most popular Greek Islands for several reasons.

London, UK
If you are looking for a more local destination for a family holiday then we would highly recommend London. The UK’s most populated city always has a lot going on within it and can be the perfect place for a long weekend to escape from reality. No matter where you are within the UK, London is easily accessible via train, bus, or aeroplane. Or, you could even drive if you are up for tackling the traffic yourself! Alongside all of the major attractions such as The London Eye, The Tower of London, and the Warner Brothers Studio Tour, the city offers so much more, especially for kids. Why not take the kids on a sightseeing bus which is exciting in itself being at such a height and overlooking the areas of the city? Not only that, but it will be educational! Madame Tussauds, the waxwork museum is also an exciting spot for kids to see their favourite celebrities in wax form! Simply walking around this major city is entertaining in itself for all ages, and you can’t forget a trip to the popular department stores!
Paris, France
If your kid is a Disney lover, then Paris has got to be one of the best destinations for a family holiday and is also the perfect city break for all ages if you are looking for a shorter holiday. From the UK, Paris tends to be a 1–2-hour flight, and a short-haul is always a good idea when you want to get away but have young children. Disneyland Paris is a hot spot and gives your children the opportunity to meet all of their favourite Disney characters, enjoy thrilling attractions and watch the magic unfold as they set their eyes on the parades. However, the city itself offers many other features and landmarks that children, and parents are bound to find interesting. The Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, and Arc De Triomphe are just us naming a few!
