A visit to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula with kids is a magical experience. It packs a little bit of everything that makes Iceland special into a small region. The Snaefellsnes Peninsula has volcanoes, lava fields, mountains, waterfalls, fjords and big waves on rocky cliffs.
If you only have a few days in Iceland with kids, the Snaefellsnes Peninsula is a good choice as you will see it all. There are plenty of interesting, outdoor activities for kids as well.
With all of the amazing natural wonders that Iceland has to offer, visiting Iceland with kids is a bucket list trip for many families. Oddly, it feels like visiting Reykjavik with kids is often an afterthought – a place where people stay when they first arrive or about to leave Iceland.
When we were researching destinations for our family trip to Portugal, Sintra quickly emerged as the clear winner. Set in the stunning hills west of Lisbon, Sintra is filled with great hiking, fairy-tale castles and a fascinating history. We were so excited about visiting this magical destination that we set aside 3 days in Sintra with kids during our family vacation to Portugal and Spain.
Over the past few years, we have started to enjoy more active travel with our kids. We’ve gone on family cycling tours in France, and hut-to-hut hiking tours in Slovenia, so for our Easter trip we wanted to continue to build on this active family travel theme. Then we found it… hiking the Portuguese Coastal Camino with our kids was the perfect active family trip for us!
We love to explore the great cities of Europe on foot. Walking is a wonderful way to experience all that makes a city great, and Budapest is no exception. With these five easy walks in Budapest, you can smell the food, hear the locals chatting in a sidewalk café, enjoy the architecture and the beautiful green spaces.
Seville is one of the most beautiful cities in Spain, and one of the best cities for families in Europe. With multiple UNESCO World Heritage sites to visit (like the Seville Cathedral and the Real Alcazar) and an abundance of fun things to do with kids in Seville, you have all the necessary ingredients for an excellent family vacation.
Exploring Slovenia with kids is an adventure into a green, family-friendly mountain playground. This European gem offers a mix of outdoor fun and cultural discovery, from the magical Lake Bled to the historic streets of Ljubljana. Slovenia’s compact size is perfect for family travel, allowing easy transitions from urban exploration to nature escapades.
Traveling to Austria with kids unlocks a magical world of enchanting mountain landscapes, rich cultural experiences, and endless adventure. We chose a family vacation to Austria as it offers a blend of city exploration and natural wonder, from Vienna’s imperial splendor to the captivating Austrian Alps.
We have traveled extensively throughout Europe with our kids and have seen a lot of beautiful cities along the way. Vienna, the capital of Austria, is among the most beautiful cities we have seen and is an amazing place for a family vacation in Europe.
Bled, Slovenia has been on our bucket list for a long time, so we were very excited we planned our family summer vacation to Austria and Slovenia. Our visit to Bled with kids was a bit unconventional as we came and went several times due to the family-friendly hiking and biking tours we enjoyed during our 14 days in Slovenia with kids.
