One of the most memorable places is the Novgorod Kremlin with its ancient and perfectly preserved St. Sophia Cathedral and the Monument to the 1000th anniversary of Rus'. And if we add the St. Yuryev and Varlaam-Khutyn monasteries, the museum of wooden architecture “Vitoslavlitsy” under open air, picturesque Lake Ilmen and the Volkhov River, then Novgorod will be remembered by you and your child for a long time this spring.
But in Russia you can also go to ancient Pskov. Yes and Golden Ring Russia - great option just for spring break.

Spring break is just around the corner, the kids are already tired of school, the parents are tired of work, which means it's time to go on a little family trip. What to choose, depending on the child’s age, family preferences and travel budget? Let's figure it out together!
Junior classes (6 – 10 years old)
If the child is still small, the planned trip must meet three main requirements: a short direct flight, the absence of a sharp climate change and an easy excursion and entertainment program. Thus, the following options work well.
Excursion trip

Dozens of huge buildings built from construction sets, the ability to independently create any figure, attractions and cafes - all this will take more than one hour, or even a day.
Don't forget about the animated museum of Andersen's fairy tales, which is also located in Copenhagen, and the famous Experimentarium, a hands-on museum where children can get acquainted with the laws of nature, presented in very unusual ways.

For example, near the resort of Milano Marittima and Ravenna there is the Mirabilandia amusement park. This is the Italian equivalent of Disneyland with 40 modern attractions and stunt shows. Girls should definitely be taken to the “Butterfly House”, where representatives of fauna from all over the world flutter in a pavilion with a special microclimate, including from southern Africa and South America.

UAE: extreme activities
Since the beginning of February this year, it has become easier for Russians to enter the United Arab Emirates. Now a 30-day visa is issued directly at the airport and is free of charge. And this is not the only reason to go to the UAE - in this Middle Eastern country it is summer all year round. However, the end of March and the beginning of April is a very good time for a trip, because the sun is not very hot yet - only up to +28 degrees, while the water is Persian Gulf about the same temperature, so you won’t want to get out of the sea.

This is where the world's fastest roller coaster with cabins reminiscent of Formula 1 cars is located.

However, there are many other entertainment options in Thailand. For example, it is worth riding elephants or admiring the colorful fire shows.

At the Reptile House, fearless children can watch monitor lizards, crocodiles and poisonous snakes. It’s almost impossible to get around the zoo in one day, so it’s worth taking a mini-train, which in 20 minutes passes by the most interesting places. Well, if you have a lot of free time, you can rent a boat for a small fee and take a trip on it around the local lakes, and at the same time feed the colorful fish. Many people also fly to Thailand for exotic fruits, which are quite inexpensive here. But the vitamins received by the body in a week will be enough for six months ahead.
