We had SO many warm exchanges with Italians while visiting there with kids.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Italy offers accessible cultural stories and a broad range of foods to satisfy the complex pallet of an adult to the pickiest child. From the ample coast to the stunning Dolomites and Italian Alps, there\u2019s both geographic diversity and a variety of activities for you and the kids to choose from. There are countless walking and bike tours, many that take you into local food markets, or actually teach you how to make your own Italian delicacies. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">While Rome is an obvious &#8220;must see,&#8221; I would suggest that for an off-the-beaten-path and very unique adventure, you tour the volcanoes of the Sicilian islands via boat, hydrofoil and kayak.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/bring-travel-kids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">What I Pack When I Travel with Kids - Family Packing List<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">2.

After a few days exploring iconic Parisian attractions (younger kids will love a \u2018treasure hunt\u2019 through the Louvre and picnicking in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower), discover the &#8220;real&#8221; France of quaint villages, medieval towns, historic homes, and incredible nature. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The region of Dordogne is filled with a wide variety of family-friendly options and as Lonely Planet notes, \u201cIn addition to magnificent castles, prehistoric cave art and lush landscapes, the\u00a0Dordogne\u00a0is famous for its foodie traditions.\u201d If you&#8217;re not afraid of a little exertion, try a multi-sport trip that has you walking, biking, horseback riding and paddling through the medieval town of Sarlat, the walled village of Domme, and the Chateau de Castelnaud \u2013 a castle built in the 12<\/span><span class=\"s2\"><sup>th<\/sup><\/span><span class=\"s1\"> century.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For a unique adventure in this bike-crazed nation, you can ferry to France\u2019s channel islands to bike St. Malo, Guernsey, and Sark. A passionate Italian biker friend said, \u201cIf you have preteens and teens, then cycling Loire in France is perfect!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">3.

Walk the stunning Bernese Oberland region and introduce your children to the delights and rewards of alpine walking. Start in Grindelwald and hike past vast glaciers while taking in stunning views of the iconic Eiger and Jungfrau peaks. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For winter activities, there\u2019s always plenty of skiing but be sure to include a day of \u2018sledging\u2019, where you rent a traditional Swiss sled, take a gondola to the top of a peak, and then sled your way down the mountain on dedicated sledging runs \u2013 some of which are several kilometers long.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">4.

The population of this safe, easily accessible destination is very family-focused and I\u2019ve found them to be some of the nicest people on Earth. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There are amazing beaches for surfing, kayaking with dolphins, cycling the national parks and plenty of hillwalking \u2013 all within easy driving distance (the country is only 120 miles wide).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>If you want a fresh adventure, try bog swimming or join a 4X4 off-roading operator to take you bombing around the lush green countryside in Land Rovers and Mercedes \u2018Vagatrons.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/achieving-balance-in-life-and-travel-with-a-child\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Achieving Balance: Life and Travel with a Child<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">5.

The northern, Nordic nation offers up incredibly exotic and serene experiences for modern families who truly want to get away from it all. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Explore reindeer farms, hike the Julma-Olkky canyon, canoe the Hossanjoki river, and spot wild bears and wolves. When the snows come, exalt in the solitude of winter woods as you drive a dogsled with your gleeful, bundled-up kids as passengers, take snowshoe hikes or cross-country ski, experience a snowmobile safari, or enjoy a family ride on a sleigh pulled by reindeer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">6.

There are amazing beaches, lakes, and mountains \u2013 often at half the cost of a trip to Western Europe. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">One British friend of the family recommends Slovenia. \u201cIt\u2019s a very clean and safe country that, so far, is still a secret. Locations like Lake Bled, Ljubljana, and the Julian Alps are just amazing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sail through Izola and Trieste, hike across Bohemia, or try a multi-day stand up paddle-board tour through Lake Bohinj, the upper Soca Valley, or the coastal town of Piran.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><em><a href=\"\/wishlists\/806951\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Discover your family&#8217;s next trip with TourRadar<\/a><\/em><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The culture, infrastructure, safety, and diversity of Europe make it an absolutely top-notch family destination.
