Depending on personal tastes and interests, your next family adventure could begin in any number of ways. If European heritage appeals, there are a myriad of historic castles to explore – from medieval Edinburgh to Germany’s fairytale Neuschwanstein and Dracula-associated Bran in Romania. Known for its soaring cliffs, beaches and golf courses, Portugal’s Algarve is also rich in wildlife. You can take boat tours from Albufeira Marina to search for dolphins and porpoises in the Med, while Ria Formosa Natural Park is a haven for flocks of salmon-pink flamingos. If you’re after a brand-new family experience, swap lazing on French Riviera beaches for kayaking to the cliff-wrapped calanques (coves) around Marseilles.

FAQ
There’s no shortage of family-friendly attractions in Europe. Classic theme parks like Disneyland Paris, Alton Towers and Gardaland Resort will be sure-fire hits with the kids, but also have live shows and dining options that appeal to all generations. Museums with the right mix of interactive and educational exhibits also go down a treat with families; Amsterdam’s NEMO Science Museum and the Natural History Museum in London are both standout examples for their imaginative and appealing displays that make learning fun. Visiting sights like the Acropolis and Colosseum can also spark the imaginations of young and old alike – but do remember that simple pleasures like strolling together on a Mediterranean beach can often delight everyone too.
It can be difficult to cater for all ages on a family holiday, but planning your getaway around a family-friendly event will help it succeed. Do some research ahead of time and plump for festivals like Lollapalooza Berlin, held every July and staging big-name concerts alongside a dedicated kids’ area where activities include storytelling, juggling and a play kitchen. Book a stay in Copenhagen to celebrate Halloween at Tivoli Gardens, and you’ll find thrill rides for the kids and fine-dining experiences for adults. Picking a hotel with an engaging mix of activities – cookery lessons, craft workshops or private tours of a local market – can spark curiosity and create happy memories for everyone too.
