Got kids who are preschoolers, homeschoolers, or otherwise free of the school schedule? October can be a great time to head to Europe: fewer crowds, lower prices... And with so much history, a family holiday can be a learning experience as well as fun.
For instance: kids can imagine themselves as knights or damsels in picture-perfect medieval hill towns in Tuscany or Umbria. October weather can be beautiful there, as in the photo above. Likewise, Greece in October can offer lovely days.
Or take your chances with the weather in northern Europe. London has wonderful sightseeing, and top museums are free; London also has a Chocolate Week in October, which has got to be a good thing, plus a growing number of Halloween events.
Paris likewise has terrific sightseeing, and a family could also make a side-trip to Disneyland Paris, which celebrates Halloween in a major way.
