Traveling to Europe to see its famous monuments like the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Colosseum(古罗马竞技场) in Rome，is not exactly the ideal vacation for kids.Fortunately，Europe has more to offer than lots of old churches and ancient history.You can enjoy some fun with your kids in the sun at some of the famous beaches of the continent.
Mykonos，Greece The closer you get to the equator，the longer the beach season is，and Greece is wonderful for that.You can enjoy beautiful green water，public chairs and lovely umbrellas at the beaches in Mykonos.
Dubrovnik，Croatia There’s nothing more attractive than the beautiful beaches bordering Dubrovnik，Croatia’s most beautiful city.It’s surrounded by stone walls like a castle.It almost makes you feel like you’re suntanning(晒黑皮肤) at Hogwarts，where the hero Harry Potter of the story is trained!
Sicily，Italy Rabbit Beach on the island of Sicily offers shallow and crystal clear waters，making it a perfect beach for families with young children.And if you want to add interest to your experience，try snorkeling(浮潜)．
Nice，France Lined with palm trees and first-class hotels，the city of Nice，located on the French Riviera，offers a whole coastline of Mediterranean beaches.Because they’re in the heart of the city，these beaches attract a large crowd.So if you’re looking for something more private，you’ll have to travel a few miles outside of the city center.
Ribadeo，Spain At low tide，Playa de las Catedrales in Ribadeo，Spain is the perfect beach to take in the natural wonders without urban amusements like restaurants，bars or huge crowds.It boasts beautiful wild flowers and unique rock formations making it truly picture worthy.

Last weekend I visited Rome for the first time.I spent three busy days in the capital of Italy，seeing lots of tourist attractions and walking down streets lit by Christmas decorations.There were a lot of things I love about the city.
Rome is one of the most ancient cities in the world and is full of wonderful relics(遗迹) from its distant past.These monuments include the Roman Forum and the vast Coliseum where gladiators used to fight each other until death and hunt animals coming from another country.The ruins of buildings and temples are fascinating.You can’t quite believe how old they are.
I studied the masterpieces of the Renaissance period at university and was very excited to see them in real life.I walked around the museum in Vatican City and saw plenty of famous sculptures(雕塑)．The best part of the visit was，without doubt，the Sistine Chapel Ceiling，painted in the early 16th century by Michelangelo.It was so breathtaking that I couldn’t tear my eyes away from it.
In Rome，there is a lot of food on offer for tourists but some of it isn’t of very good quality.I made an effort to find reliable restaurants to taste the popular
meals of the region，like pasta with tomato，onion and bacon.I also loved eating ice cream and hot chocolate under the Christmas lights.
Rome has not only lots of luxury boutiques(精品店) but also plenty of shops that were more in my price range！It was a perfect opportunity to go and buy presents for my family and friends.There was also a Christmas market，where I bought a sparkly decoration for the tree.
