During our visit we enjoyed its free museums, walkable city centre, fun transport options, and an easy mix of indoor and outdoor activities.

Europe
The Whangie Walk: Trail Guide, Parking, Map and Tips
The Whangie walk is a medium-length, family-friendly hike in Scotland’s Kilpatrick Hills, near Loch Lomond. It’s known for its unusual rock formation, open hill views, and kid-friendly route. It’s a popular hike for the rock passage and views of Loch Lomond, but kids will especially like it for the rocks, which are easy and fun to climb on.
Amsterdam with Kids
Amsterdam has a pretty wild reputation – the Red Light District, etc., but it also has an contrasting reputation as one of the best family destinations in Europe. With the wild side being the stronger mental image, we were a little nervous about how our visit to Amsterdam with kids would go. As it turns out, we had a great four days in Amsterdam with kids (ages 7 & 9). Yes, there were things I wish they hadn’t seen in store fronts, etc., but it’s amazing at what they don’t even notice.
