Do you advise taking a double stroller or two separate umbrella strollers? My husband and i are planning a trip next year for my 30th birthday. Our son will be 1 yr old.
Besides Barcelona, are there any other cities that you recommend while having in a mind a toddler? We are planning a trip for a week overseas. We have a 13 year old and 11 year old who have never been outside the US. Where would you recommend taking them for their first trip overseas? We would be going in mid April. They love to travel and we want to make it special and fun for them! Take the Eurostar train kids love it from city to the other. So much to do in both cities and the big crowds will not have really kicked in yet.
Weather could be surprisingly pleasant, though do pack for anything. Hello, We are looking to travel for New Years around December 28th — January 5, but flexible with dates! We usually go to Brazil, but we just come back from there. Where would you suggest that we all could enjoy a beautiful kid friendly celebration, nice food and a weather that is not so cold? We already been to Paris and Italy. We are planning our first trip to Europe from Austraila. We have about 25 days to spend in Europe. We definitely want to see Paris and London. Rome is something we would like to see but not sure if its going to be challenge with a 4month old.
Thanks for your time. Amsterdam and Berlin are the two most pram-friendly cities in Europe. Nice and Barcelona are two other cities that are very easy to get around with kids and have a great family-friendly vibe. I am due to take my kids 3. I will be working during the day in Crouch End and my mother will be watching the kids during the day. Any recommendations on where to stay? It will be easier for me to travel to work than her to travel with 2 small kids each day. Crouch End is also fairly easy to get to on the tube from South Kensington tube, with a change at Leicester Square to the Northern Line.
The Science Museum has lots of hands-on sensory exhibits to play with and two areas specifically for toddlers. South Kensington is also near Hyde Park, where your mother and the kids can go walking, feed the ducks and play on the playgrounds. Your mother could also take the kids on a boat from Westminster Pier to Tate Modern, where there are family activities on weekends 11am-4pm and digital sketch pads for the little ones to create their own masterpieces at the Bloomberg Connect Drawing Bar on Level 3 of the gallery. As for apartments try booking. For flying, make it fun.
Kids pick up on your energy. Thanks for your service with this blog very generous. I am moving with our 17 months daughter and husband to Dublin. We will have 6 weeks before he starts working in January so I am exploring options to travel in Europe with a baby in such cold weather. Is that too much with a baby? We definitely could do it but never travelled to Europe with her before. Would love to do Sweden, and Denmark but not too sure about weather and kids-friendly options. Could you help a little to choose the right itinerary?
If it was me I would stick to the southern countries. Unless there is some specific appeal to northern Europe in winter I would save those countries for warmer months. Our family of five is moving to Spain in the new year kids: We would love to do a driving adventure in Ireland. The countryside seems like it would be laid back with our collection of little people — and our kids would love the fairies, leprechauns, castles, etc.
And, it will be nice to take a break in an English speaking country. Do you think we would be setting ourselves up for failure? Would we be better off starting elsewhere? I think it sounds great. Driving around Ireland is wonderful — so many beautiful places to stop.
We are looking for a European destination for a short vacation, mid December. We are traveling with a 6 month old baby and a nine year old so we are mostly worried about the weather. I have a list pf places I would love to see — this is the first time there for any of us hopefully not the last. This is the very long list of places we are interested in: Prague, Cesky Krumlov Austria: Ljubljana, Lake Bled Belgium: You could do a loop of Europe by train that would work quite well. You would need to cut a few destinations for time but otherwise it should be great.
The destinations a little out of the way e. Cinque Terra, Lake Bled are probably the most natural to skip. I am trying to plan a trip to Europe with my family of 6 plus my mother for June. My youngest child is 6 yr old and I am having a hard time finding a packaged vacation that allows for children that young. Do you happen to know of any good ones? But I always recommend that people book trips on their own find flights on Kayak. Hi David Any thoughts or suggestions on Iceland with a 9 yo girl? We took our first European trip last year to London and now she has the travel bug.
We are an adventure loving family of three who loves exploring the less touristy sites of any destination. We thought it could be an interesting trip Thank you, Amy in Orlando. Iceland is beautiful and a great destination for those who like a little or a lot of adventure. Rent a car and do a 7 to 10 day loop of the Ring Road. Hi David, I love your site and always enjoy reading your post.
We will be visiting end of June through end of July We enjoy sightseeing, museums, architecture, food, people watching and beaches. We will be doing Airbnb and Hostel for stay and mostly public transportation but a certain part of Spain might do a rental, just because it would be easier. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. We are simple budget travelers and love integrating with the local culture when we travel. I also speak Spanish fluently. Do at least one walking food tour and one cooking class. And kids generally love them.
Hi David Awesome site. We will be travelling with children aged 9 and 11 in September next year from Sydney. I have a few questions. Can you give me your suggested itinerary? Is there any other places you recommend we see? How would you travel between these places? Which islands in Greece do we definitely need to visit? London to Paris take the Eurostar train. Fly or train Paris to Barcelona. Fly to Italy, then train within Italy.
Naxos is the most kid-friendly and has great beaches. Mykonos is busy but lots of fun. Ios has a handful of incredible beaches. Such a helpful resource. I am hoping to take my two children 9,8 to Europe next summer. We are flying into London, where I believe we will spend a week and perhaps go to Ireland. We would likely do Paris, Rome, Athens as home base but maybe some travel from there. Do you have a recommendation for which you would choose and why?
Nothing beats the Greek islands with kids.

So relaxed easy-going island vibe , fun island hopping by ferry , and just this perennial summer-vacation feel beaches, food, late dinners. Lastly, is bringing a stroller on this trip a bad idea if we are unable to keep her content in the Ergo for long periods of time? Prague, Florence, and Rome might be the 3 worst cities in Europe for a stroller, so yeah, not going to be much use for transport. But it can still be handy as a place to nap in museums and while eating out. A highlight of Florence is eating at one of the restaurants around Piazza Santo Spirito. Great vibe and lots of fun.
Siena, San Gimignano, and Fiesole the closest are great day trips from Florence. We have been to Paris and London. Any recommendation for somewhere with a decent climate and a good home base with family friendly day trips? This is truly a very helpful forum. My husband and I want to take a 7 day trip to Europe from 29 December to 6 January with our 3 year old daughter. We were mainly considering Amsterdam or Paris and couldnt decide which is better.
Can you please advise which would be a better choice or recommend any other similar destination keeping the above in mind? Both are wonderful cities and would be great over the New Years week. Just moved to Basel, Switzerland from Canada for a year…looking forward to using some of your great trip ideas while here! Hi David, My husband and I have decided to pack up our three children, aged 8,6 and 4 and take them on a year long adventure around western Europe and GB.
We are from New Zealand, so its a big and rather scary adventure. We have booked one way tickets into London on May 2 and from there will be Motor homing for months! We will be on a very tight budget and plan to mix between wild camping and staying in camping grounds.. This has been a dream of ours, and we are so excited to finally be embracing on our big journey.
I also would love any other advice you have for us. I look forward to hearing from you Thank you for your time, Allie. Your website has been so helpful to me in planning vacations with my kids, so thank you! Last year, we went to Paris, Bruges and Amsterdam, and my 8 year old twins loved it.

In , I want to plan a spring break trip at the end of March to probably Europe again. The kids also loved Bruges and all of the medieval architecture, riding on boats through the canals, etc. We will have around days for the trip and would like to hit a couple of places either within one country or possibly 2 if we fly into one and out of the other. Any thoughts on what might be best? Barcelona is wonderful — just a great vibe.
Italy is loaded with magical hill towns or old classical villages: And for something really different and wonderful try staying at a Agriturismo in Tuscany. Many have pools and your kids will love it. We have 4 kids ages years.
We have never been to Europe! We are thinking of staying somewhere? Cheaper such as Spain or France and traveling on and out from there. Is this a feasible plan? Do you have any recommendations as to were to base ourselves? Any advice would be much appreciated! Even in Paris, many of the better restaurants and mom and pop shops close up.
The opposite is almost true in Barcelona and there will be lots of activity to choose from. For example a new high speed train links Barcelona and Paris in about 6 hours. Hi David, Love your advice, so helpful! Planning a weeklong trip to England with my 16 month old, and I have two questions: Chain hotels such as Novotel tend to be well-geared towards families. The prettiest villages in the Cotswolds include Bourton-on-the-Water stone cottages, cosy pubs, traditional tea rooms , Lower Slaughter landscaped Manor Gardens, an old mill museum , Castle Combe cute limestone cottages, good pubs , and Kingham stone cottages, open village green.
We are traveling with our kids 4 and 1 to St. Tropez, Monte Carlo and Capri. Trying to decide which stroller to bring. We have a double city mini gt but I imagine it will be too big and bulky to travel with. Will a double umbrella stroller make it in and around these cities ok?? My 4 year old can walk but I do like the idea of him being able to sit back and rest if need be, or be strapped in if the streets are busy but if you believe we will be much better off with a single umbrella stroller that is the way we will go!
I would go with the single umbrella stroller. Just so much easier that I would live with any other trade offs. Thanks for this awesome load of information on travelling with kids. I just wanted to pick your brains on selecting the right neighbourhood for our 4 nights in Paris. And of course I am confused now. Could you help us select between — Marais neighbourhood Vs StayCity apartment considering the cost of the two is almost the same.
Within this setting you have a large, open terrace, perfect for having a coffee or drink in the summer with regular exhibits and jazz concerts. Just in that area alone you can visit the Picasso Museum, the Centre Pompidou, the historic Place des Vosges and one of the oldest covered markets in Paris, the Marche des Enfants Rouge.
Both will have a line but totally worth it! I love your website. We are a family of 5, Dad,Mom, 17,15 and 7 year old boys. Our kids have never been to Europe. I have 2 questions. If we arrive in London 24 of June and leave Rome on the 19 of July. What would be your ideal itinerary? What travel guides do you think have fun, interesting facts. Can decide what tour guides to read or what to look for? I would definitely hit Paris and Amsterdam.
South France or Tuscany or Bavaria. We are wanting to go for about 4 weeks. Are there any particular cities you would recommend that are stroller friendly? My husband loves the countryside and adventure things, while I love the history! I would single out Amsterdam as a stroller-friendly and walkable city. Tram is super handy for getting around. Nice parks in city center. Boat trips along the canal are fun. Hi, I was just wondering what your thoughts are.. We are thinking of doing coastal Italy for a relaxing holiday and then would like to do either Copenhagen, Paris, or London for a week for site seeing , before we travel to Hong Kong Disney on the way home to Australia.
Do you have any suggestions for coastal Italy with kids? And which city would you suggest for sightseeing? Some of the most spectacular beaches are on Sardinia. On the south coast, Chia is a popular spot with two gorgeous sandy beaches. On the Italian mainland, Tuscany has some wonderful seaside retreats.
Between Livorno and Piombino, Marina di Bibbona is a relaxed family-friendly resort set near a pine grove and a lengthy stretch of sand. Down in the heel of the country, the southern region of Puglia is where many Italians take their summer holidays. It has some stunning beaches and its laid-back atmosphere is great for families. Particularly beautiful is the Salento area near the baroque city of Lecce.
But while both are fabulous to look at, the practicalities of getting to and around them can make them difficult with small kids. For city sightseeing those are all great. London definitely has the most kid-friendly attractions but at that age they might not get as much out of them as they will in a few years. I am thinking of visiting London, Paris and Zurich with my wife and 2 kids. Do you have a recommendation on the best site to book a multi-city Europe vacation?
I have tried Expedia, but it is not too friendly when it comes to multi city trip planning. The best for finding cheap airfares and widest selection of flights is Kayak. The best websites for finding good hotel deals are Booking. We currently have non stop flights on Singapore to LHR may amend one flight to stop and looking to include London, Paris and Lanzarote!! London for the usual reasons, plus we have family with young kids about 35 mins away from central London on the train.
Hi — great website, thanks for all the useful information! We are taking the kids aged 4 to Paris mid-April. Barcelona, French south coast, Rome, Amsterdam. Have left off London from the list as additional visa required plus have been there a few times recently. Which countries do you think we should go to? None of us have been to Europe. Or the southern countries — Italy or Spain — which will have the nicest weather. We just booked tickets for our family of four including two little guys 7, 3.
We are flying into CDG and have two weeks. Suggestions on focus for our trip. This will be the kids first trip. Paris is a great place to start so definitely spend a few days there. However, we are having difficulties planning our trip. We definitely need to go to London to visit relatives and thereby hope to travel to few places like Brussels, Frankfurt, Switzerland, and hopefully Italy too. Would you be able to guide us on this? I can certainly answer some questions for you the more specific they are the more likely I can help, the more vague the harder it is to give advice.
David, My husband and I are planning on taking our children ages 3 and 5 somewhere in August for 2 weeks probably mid-end of August. My husband would like to go visit Iceland since it is a quick and affordable flight for us from Minneapolis but it seems as if it could get quite pricey with car rental and lodging for 2 weeks. Also, can you recommend a good site for searching air fares? Iceland is a great destination if you like hiking and the outdoors. You could easily fill 2 weeks there if you set out in rental car to do in a tour of the top spots … but at the same time it seems a little long for the country.
Take a look at Iceland Air as they offer free stopovers in Reykjavik if you buy a ticket to Europe. They fly to a bunch of European capitals. Otherwise, I use Kayak. Although question from Jim above echoes my queries too, I have a few more. Which ones would you recommend? Hi David, I love this site, thankyou! I would like to ask your advice. Next July, I plan to travel to Europe for weeks with my husband and 18 month old son. There are so many options, we are having trouble deciding where to spend our time whilst there.

What would you suggest? Barcelona, Madrid, and Porto, Portugal are great destinations. The coast of Croatia is absolutely beautiful — Greek-like beaches and coastline. Prague, Budapest, and Krakow are all magical cities. Hi David This is a great site! We are needing some planning advice. We have planned for 3. We want to see historical sites but also have a chance to relax a day here or there without being over scheduled with sightseeing time. Is going south to north the best route? Thanks for your help!!! But from Rome to Paris you can do all by train. Train is fun and easy though can get a little boring on the longer journeys.
Thanks for the advice. One last question, we are thinking of bringing our jogging double stroller. The 3 yr old can sleep and eat and play in it, and her bag can ride beside her we will be packing light with back packs for the rest of us. Yeah, unfortunately I think it will. This is such a great resource. We have christmas holidays coming up this December and no plans yet. Assuming we make it to Paris — what are your suggestions for things to do and places to go over Christmas and New Years? We have a 9yo son who wants to have a white christmas. Or is there anywhere else in the world you can suggest we spend our 3 weeks during that time?
There is no shortage of great places to go in Europe. Hi David, What a great site. My husband and I are planning a 3 month trip to Europe next summer with our two young children ages 4 and 2. We are trying to figure out where to visit.
12 Best Places To Go In Europe With Kids - The Guide
We know that we probably will just choose places and stay at each for a few weeks. I would love to get your opinion of some of the places on our list since we need to narrow them down!

Any thoughts or suggestions to help us narrow down our list? Also, if there is another location that you highly recommend especially given the toddler factor , we are open to ideas! Those are all great places. South of France is more expensive than the Italian Riviera but also has more to do for families. The Italian coast is cheaper and less busy — though this changes as you move east. I highly recommend the Greek Islands for families.
Hi David My husband and I were thinking of going to Europe in the summer for 3 weeks Flying from Canada to Munich for a few days and then a train to Austria Kitzbuel where I had stayed for 6 months, 10yrs ago and fell in love with but our concern is wether this would be too hard on our kids who are almost 3 and 5. Just considering the long flight and 8 hr time change on toddlers. We thought Austria, kitzbuel is low key with simple adventures and train rides to Innsbruck or Salzburg if wanted to Do you think it would be to much on a 3 and 5 yr old with flights trains and time changes?
It should be great. My wife and I are considering spending weeks in Europe next Spring March ; the timing and spot are linked to a meeting I will attend in The Hague, Netherlands in early March. So we thought it would be a good opportunity to travel with our two kids son will be 5 and daughter 3.
Our main concern is the climate and time of the year. Paris will tend to have better weather in March than Amsterdam or Belgium. Amsterdam has very uncertain weather in spring so expect anything. Both Amsterdam and Paris have many indoor attractions that are fine in any weather. Planning a vacation to Europe with my almost 2 year old for about 9 or 10 days! Could you recommend the best kid-friendly places to go? I visited Rome, Venice, Florence, Paris, London, and Madrid already, but was thinking that going to Paris and London again would be nice since everything is a new experience when you have kids… What do you think?
Yes, they are very different experiences with kids. In general I recommend going to big cities lots to do or beach towns kids love beaches. And Paris and London are the 2 best, funnest, and most enchanting cities for kids in Europe.

Both cities can easily fill a week of almost constant exploration. At the moment we are thinking maybe see a bit of Paris on 18th July and then have full 2 days 19th and 20th too. We are definitely not doing Disney as we have one in HK and our daughter gets too tired and with the long queues its going to be a long day for us all. We have our flight out from Rome on 27th July in the afternoon so thought of doing 3 full days 4 nights in Rome reach 23rd night in Rome and have 24thth. Now you can see we have 21 — 23rd free,. Option 1 — flight to Nice and Monte carlo and cities around and fly straight to Rome Option 2 — fly to Nice spend a day and then next day take a train to Pisa and see Florence too stay overnight and 23rd eve go to Rome.
Sounds like a wonderful trip. I would go with Option 1. Option 2 sounds a bit too busy and Pisa and Florence can be stifling hot in July. South France will offer more to do for a 3 year old. Your web site is amazing with full on knowledge for everyone. It will make cheaper. Titlis and remaining have not yet planned. Please advise and do correct of my previously mentioned plan if you think it is not appropriate.
