3. Spend more time outdoors
It is natural that people travelling abroad should visit historic buildings. However, do not spend more than an hour inside, no matter how exciting or interesting the place might seem to you. It is too tiresome even for a grown up person, let alone your children! Before visiting a museum, gallery or any other place, have a list of the most interesting and important destinations and let your kids choose where they would like to go. If you make your children go somewhere they do not want to, be sure that they will spoil the rest of your day anyways. So let the trip be as exciting for you as it is for them. Finding a compromise is always possible. Take into account the age of your kids. If they are mature enough to understand the importance of the place you are going to, then show them around. However, if your kids are too young, do not try to force museums and other historic buildings on them. Let them relax and do not overload them with information – they get plenty of that at schools.

4. Hunt for fun
This tip is great if your kids are adventurous and like to compete with their sisters, brothers or even you. The game we are going to describe is fun and very involving. It does not require any special toys or equipment. All you need is your own creativity. So, every morning, before leaving your hotel, make a list of things you are determined to find. Your list may include some of the most unusual objects and their combinations. For instance, let your tomorrow’s mission be to find a painting with a ship in it, or a woman riding a bike, some item resembling a human face and so on. The list should consist of no more than 5 objects that you are planning to find. In the evening talk about your results. And do not forget to take pictures of your finds. If you are not very creative, then you can always ask for a guidebook offering more games for you and your family.
