We all know what world resorts are best prepared for infants, in which Turkish hotels the most interesting animation for children and in which international camp you can send a teenager for new acquaintances and the first experience of independence. We decided that closed boundaries were not a reason to sit at home all the holidays and prepared excellent travel options with children in Russia.
Kids
Visit mountain Caucasian republics
The kids are unlikely to remember their first vacation for life, and there is definitely little capable of interest to them, so you should choose a location that is good for health: with good ecology, without extreme temperatures, excessive humidity or dry sun, the scorching sun. The ideal option in this case is to go to Kabardino-Balkaria, Ossetia or Karachay-Cherkessia: everywhere you will find amazing mountains and excellent food. Pure healing air of the foothills of the Caucasus, fresh vegetables and fruits, farm products, good -natured local residents – what mothers and children need. In addition, the climate here does not differ in high humidity (as, for example, among the Caucasian mountains in the vicinity of Sochi, where both adults and children often suffer from acclimatization), and many fairly simple foot routes are laid along the foothills that even newly -made parents with a baby in a sling.
Take a house in Karelia
Crystal air, beautiful lakes and ideal for walking forests. In order not to change the usual daily routine of mom and baby, remove the house with all the amenities in a beautiful location. For example, in the National Park Ladoga skewers. Of course, the baby is unlikely to appreciate the magnificence of the surrounding nature, but he should definitely like silence and tranquility. But parents will not hurt to take a good break from the bustle of the city, the gasket of streets and constant stress at work! It is easy to get to Karelia by train or by car to families living in the Leningrad Region, it is easiest to fly to Petrozavodsk from Moscow from Moscow. By the way, flying with babies is not at all as scary as it seems: if you guess the flight by the time of daytime sleep, most likely your child will drink from take -off to landing.
Preschoolers
Drive along the Golden Ring of Russia
Golden domes, multi -colored towers, carved shutters – the Golden Ring of Russia looks like a fairy tale, however, even in the peak of the season there are no such crowds of tourists as in Disneyland. Here, children can begin to acquaint with the history of Russia in a playful way and accustom to visit museums, because there will be a great many of them along the way – with animation, tastings of sweets and entertaining toys. For example, what are at least for the forge of Borodins and the workshop of chocolate in Vladimir, the Art and Pedagogical Museum of the toy named after ND Bartram in the Sergiev Posada or the Museum of the Tsarskoye Sheep in Tutaev! All cities of the Golden Ring are in relative reach from Moscow, so in the event of a force majeure situation, it will simply be returned home.
Visit Santa Claus in Veliky Ustyug
Another revived fairy tale is the tiny town of Great Ustyug in the Vologda region. Here is the patrimonial of Santa Claus, so that preschool children who still believe in this white -bearded good man will remain delighted. You can meet with your grandfather here all year round, but still it is best to come to Ustyug in winter: to ride in a sleigh drawn by three horses, to move from the hill on the “cheesecake”, to dance on the streets with the mummers. True, do not forget that the frost at this time may fall to – 40 degrees: warm down jackets under which a couple of sweaters are placed, you need to stock up on. And we warn you: it is not easy to get to the great Ustyug, there are few hotels in the city, so the best solution will be to buy an organized tour (at the same time, you can get acquainted with other families with children on the way).
Younger school
Go to the tour of the Volga on the ship
Cruise on the ship on the Volga River is an interesting experience in itself: new acquaintances with fellow travelers, interesting thematic evenings, a walk in new cities every day and observing the beautiful Volga nature around. For children, this will be interesting and informative: in every city, short excursions are organized for tourists, they do not have time to tire, but they expand their horizons well. We advise you to swim from Moscow to Astrakhan (from there it will be possible to return back by plane), visiting Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan, Cheboksary, Ulyanovsk, Samara, Saratov, Volgograd and other Volga cities.
Live in the village in the middle lane
Few children will refuse to bother with animals and run through the fields around: for them this is not hard work, but an exciting game. Eco-trees in the middle lane-an option for those who do not have a grandmother in the village. We do not know whether your offspring will come in handy in the future, the ability to plow the garden or milk a cow, but agroecotourism is an activity that restarts completely both children and adults. Bonus often comes fresh berries from the bush, real honey from the nearest apiary and cheese from local goats. The company specializing in such leisure of the company can help with the selection of the tour, for example, Vlubinka, the deaf Go or Altourism; If you certainly want to organize a vacation yourself, take a closer look at the Yaroslavl, Kostroma and Smolensk regions, as well as the Republics of Tatarstan and Mari El.
Teenagers
Comprehend culture and subculture in St. Petersburg
Probably, there is no teenager in the world who would not dream of getting into St. Petersburg (except that those who already live there). For almost any Russian teenager, Petersburg is an idealized center for subcultural movements, freedom, rock music and parties. This is on the one hand, and on the other, it is this city that is the key to understanding many software works of Russian classics. Try to find that balance between the high and fashionable, and you will get a non -banal introduction of a young rebel for cultural life: during the day you can go on an excursion on the locations of “Crimes and punishments”, look into the apartments of Pushkin and Akhmatova, and in the evening – listen to street musicians on Nevsky, to break into Rubinstein or there is a vegetarian burgger near the Lensovte Theater. By the way, about theaters: BDT, Mariinsky, shelter of comedian, MDT-European theater, the Komissarzhevskaya Theater, the same Lensovet Theater-places with very curious posters, where there is definitely something interesting even for the younger generation-according to classics or in contemporaries.
Drive Altai on a horse
The equestrian tour on Altai does not require some extraordinary physical preparation from the participants: even a teenager is affordable. However, such a vacation will definitely be remembered for life: around – just crazy beauty of nature, under you – a huge, but obedient beast, and at night from the tent you can look at endless stars. By the way, in such a tour, Tineeger will have to learn how to really useful hiking wisdom: for example, collect and disassemble a tent, make a bonfire and cook on it. And there – who knows, maybe the romance of campaigns will start for a new, really serious hobby for the rest of his life …
