11 Wonderful destinations for family trips (Part 2)
6. Multicultural Malaysia
Malaysia is an amazing melting pot of cultures. Whether you are in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Malacca or Malaysian Borneo, you'll experience unbelievably delicious food, vibrant festivals and the ancient traditions of many different ethnic groups. There are tonnes of great options for the kids, too. Legoland Malaysia Resort, Hello Kitty Town and Sunway Lagoon Theme Park are all world-class attractions that parents will love as much as the kids.
You can make a minimum budget of VND15 to 20 million/person for a four-day/ three-night or five-day/ four-night trip to Malaysia.
7. The paradise islands of Philippines
With over 7,000 islands to choose from, the Philippines is literally a paradise for surfers, divers, beach lovers or anyone who enjoys exploring stunning coastlines with white sand and crystal clear waters. Whichever island you choose to visit, your family will easily fall in love with this beautiful country. Besides all the beach activities, you can enjoy many more adventures, exploring wild caves, waterfalls and the majestic rice terraces of Cordillera, which are said to be 2,000 years old.
A four-day, three-night vacation in the Philippines, should cost approximately VND15 to 30 million per person.
8. A dream holiday to Italy
In Italy, you will be spoiled for choice. Should you explore the romantic rivers of Venice or visit the epicentre of Italian fashion, Milan? Or perhaps you would enjoy the enchanting medieval streets of Florence or the picturesque country towns of Tuscany. Then there’s the magnificent capital, Rome or the dreamlike beauty of the Amalfi coast by the Mediterranean sea. Don’t worry, wherever you go, you will surely discover Italy’s irresistible charm and unbelievable food.
We would advise a five or seven-day tour to explore Italy’s worthiest locations. For a truly wonderful getaway, you should prepare a minimum budget of VND40 – 50 million per person.
9. The unique landscapes of the Netherlands
If you plan to spend your next holiday in the Netherlands, make sure you take the family to the gorgeous Keukenhof, the largest flower park in the world, and the equally charming Giethoorn, the whimsical little town, also known as “the Venice of the North”. In the heartland of Holland, you can explore Amsterdam’s many canals on a barge, or head to Paleis Het Loo, a museum with royal gardens and stables. You can also visit Flevoland, where the biggest land reclamation project in history occurred, and marvel at the unique landscapes. To keep the curious little tourists amazed, you should also visit the Efteling, the “fairytale theme park” in south-central Holland.
The euro is the official currency of the Netherlands, and the cost of living can be high compared to Vietnam. To ensure a smooth experience for a five-day trip you should prepare a budget of VND40 to 50 million per person.
10. The warm hospitality of Portugal
Undoubtedly one of Europe’s less heralded gems, Portugal will exceed all of your expectations with its mesmerising natural beauty and dynamic travel scene. From the capital of Lisbon to the beaches of Algarve, Porto, Sintra, Coimbra, every corner of Portugal has everything you and your family need for a memorable holiday. The warm and hospitable locals, breathtaking landscapes, cosmopolitan vibe and timeworn architecture will all capture your heart.
Airfares for a return flight to Portugal will cost you around VND27 million per person. To treat the whole family to a wonderful holiday, you should prepare a budget of VND 30 to 40 million per person.
11. The wonder of Singapore
With lush greenery attractions and amazing man-made creations, Singapore always surprises first-time visitors. It really is the perfect destination for a family holiday with world class attractions such as Universal Studios, where the whole family will be “transported” to another time and space, and get to hang out with dinosaurs, robots, superheroes and ingenious animals. Traveling into the magical realm between Malaysia and Singapore, families can also visit the LegoLand Park which features seven themed areas of attractions for visitors of all ages.
To cover a luxurious three-day, two-night family trip in Singapore, you should prepare a budget of VND30 million per person.
