By bibo

I am looking for a place I can go with my family (3 yrs old kid), beginning of July. No beach. No shopping. No big cities. No nightlife.
N
eed beautiful scenery (greenery, mountains, countryside ...), nice food, nice walks, nice weather some art and culture, and ideally kids entertainment.

Any advice?

Go to Austria. It is slightly cheaper than the rest of Europe. It has a beautiful landscape and has loads of historic architecture. The Vienna zoo is one of the best zoos in the world. Also, their museums of arts, natural history and science are amazing.

Hi,

You could try the Lake District in the UK, I have found the best places are Coniston, Kendal and Windermere. I used to go with my wife and kids at least three times a year. Weather should be ok that time of year, and it is fantastic for walks, and very safe for children.

If you hired a car you could drive round the different villages and stay in a different B&B or Guest House every night if you wanted, so there would be plenty of variety.

Try centreparcs.

They are perfect for a family vacation and have "villages" in several European countries. My husband and son had a great time at centreparcs

"Bispinger Heide" in Germany.

Cinque terre in Italy.

Dordogne in France.

Switzerland.

You should get great deals this year due to the recession.
