Whether you’re drawn to the famous landmarks of Europe or prefer a more local heritage, there’s a tour for your family. Explore small towns to learn about local traditions or relax beside a lake in the mountains. Europe has something for everyone, and it’s never been easier to travel with kids.
Getting around is simple with trains that offer a great family-friendly experience. You can also avoid the crowded summer months and discover a different side of the continent by visiting during winter, when it’s a bit quieter but still offers plenty to see and do.
It’s a good idea to choose a tour that includes train travel so you can bring less luggage and be more flexible when it comes to your packing. If you’re taking a train-based trip, pack light with a few key outfits and buy vacuum-seal bags to keep your clothes flat for more space.
If your family loves to eat, consider choosing a foodie tour. For instance, a visit to Budapest gives you the chance to eat your way through the city. From Hungarian goulash to scrumptious pastries, there are plenty of opportunities to indulge.
Alternatively, a visit to Vienna will introduce your children to classical music. You’ll be able to take in a performance at the State Opera, or if they’re not interested in music, you can spend time exploring Gamla Stan (the medieval old town) or the many museums that showcase jazz and art.
