3 Spooktacular Vacation Ideas for Families

Halloween is a pretty big holiday for all ages, but it’s an especially memorable time for kids. If you want to plan a trip around this fun yearly happening, you’ve got plenty of options to choose from. I’ve checked out more than my fair share (I am, admittedly, obsessed with Halloween!) and have put together a short list of some of the best spots around the country to take a trip during the spooky season.

Best of Both Worlds

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination. What does this mean for travelers wishing to explore by both land and sea? It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from  Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.
