The BEST European Cities for Families!

The BEST European Cities for Families!

hey there fellow family Travelers Mark here with Walters world and today we’re here in Stockholm Sweden and today we’re going to give you are the five best big cities to visit in Europe if you want to travel with your kids and what I’m doing with this list is I’m focusing on the big cities because for families we know that connecting flights suck right and so it’s easy to fly into a big city and just stay in one spot and therefore enjoy that culture enjoy those things and only de with the kids being upset about taking public transportation versus another plane train or automobile kind of thing right so let’s get started I want to start actually here in Stockholm Stockholm is fantastic for families why well one you have direct flights from the US you got direct flights from the Middle East you got direct flights from all over Europe to get here but it’s super safe like you’re not worried about your kids at all well maybe maybe when they get near the bike path you might get a little worried but honestly it’s a super safe City you can go around and do lots of things and there’s tons of outdoor activities kids love that so if you’re here yes you can take a boat ride and see all the canals and go through the see the bridges but I’d go actually some of the islands go swimming in the water out there go exploring on the islands or if you’re in the city going to the Old Town like I’ve seen kids going oh wow this is kind of cool I see school groups going through there all the time to check out the beautiful buildings that are there the Oldtown and the Royal Palace which is really nice nice stuff to do for kids lots of museums here too and adults may say well I want to go to the ABA Museum no with the kids you want to take them to the vas Museum it is this huge boat they found like it literally was launched a few hundred years ago in s right away and they brought it up really kind of a cool things that kids enjoy my kids loved it when they were here so that’s cool now aside from the Vasa Museum there’s all kinds of other museums out here but when you are by the Vasa Museum there’s also sconsin it’s an open air museum what’s cool is the kids get to go around and they get to see like buildings from Sweden’s past you get to see them doing things in the past it’s kind of a fun activity when we went there with our kids they really liked it and right next to it is Gund yes there’s a little amusement park you can go to that has rides Ferris wheels Maro rounds kind of stuff that’s actually a Funtime game to play there too so you have all these like fun family activities in a safe environment I mean what could go wrong price-wise it’s a little pricey but honestly all big cities in the world are pricey so I don’t find it much worse than anywhere else that I go so one thing so Stockholm definitely a great place to go through [Music] kids I mean come ons sconsin and Stockholm even has a Children’s Zoo what more can you ask for number two two of my list is actually Paris now some people say well Paris is so busy and there’s all those things going on and there’s pickpockets and stuff I don’t know look Paris is fantastic with kids actually our youngest learned how to walk when we was little there I mean we’ve been going there since actually he was before my old my youngest was born who’s a lot older than being a baby now but we’ve been going there for years because one there’s lots of little Parks you can give the kids time to play wherever you go but also the things they go see you go to the lou Museum the kids know the Mona Lisa they know the wings Victor they know those things you show them the painting that’s a person made out of fruit they’re like that’s the coolest art I’ve ever seen M or say this is stuff they’ve seen in their cartoons it’s stff they’ve seen in the movies they know this kind of art stuff if they had any art class at all in school yet they’ll be like hey I know that so that’s one of the cool things it can Inspire your kids to love art but also you have the Eiffel Tower which every kid wants to get a picture with of them either holding it or doing this with it or things like that I mean it’s really fun and the thing is Paris got flights from everywhere around the world so you can get there easily also the public transportation there the Metro goes everywhere and it’s no more than 500 M from basically any place in the entire city so you can get around you don’t even have to think about running a car you don’t have to worry about Ubers or taxis or anything you can just get on public transport and go and also what I like is people actually like kids in France and they like kids in Paris I mean when we kids were little people would help us they’re like oh you need to help get in the stroller over into the Metro sure oh the kids are like you know Middle School little kids people are like hey there’s come play with us like at the park they go kick soccer balls with the locals I mean it’s really cool it’s a great place but there’s a lot of things to do a lot of things to see but also the food is fantastic in France and that’s one of those things if you want your kids to experiment on food France is a good place for it cuz sometimes you can be like oh maybe you want to try a frog leg no then how about this croissant oh kids will love croissant I mean you’ll notice the French kids don’t complain very much cuz they’re walking around like with uh some bread with some butter on it or some bread and some chees or bread and some chocolate in the middle yeah the kids the kids will eat well when they’re there and they’ll be happy and then you’re like I’m a great parent my kids are eating they’re seeing culture and they get a lot of fun stuff to do you can’t be Paris for for a family okay another place right across English Channel you got London and London what I like about London is it has so many like museums you can enjoy but Al there’s great free museums there to save a little bit of money but also there’s a lot of the kind of kidfriendly exhibits and kid-friendly activities in the museums as well and that’s one of those things all the museums you go to in these cities ask them if they have children’s programing like maybe there’s a scavenger hunt there maybe there’s like a hide not necessar hide-and-seek but you know you have thing you got to find it in the museum you have those I mean it’s really kind of a cool thing they do a really good job in London with that and also you have the teenage museums and stuff they like there you know whether it’s you know going to Madam to wax museum which I I feel is kind of a tourist trap but it’s fun and kids really enjoy that kind of stuff so it’s they have those kind of things too and you know there’s nothing like walking down the tames and going oh look there’s the Globe Theater would you like to learn about some Shakespeare that you’re learning and see it in like in real life like that you learn in your Brit lit class like there’s things there for all ages of kids which is really cool also there are a lot of parks around town going to hide Park and just chilling out there and enjoying the kid time it’s wonderful the food scene there look if your kid doesn’t want to eat and you know you can’t take them too late to the pub there’s every International food dish you’ve ever wanted ever is in London so you can have that so if they’re missing home it doesn’t matter where you’re from you probably can find their favorite food when you’re there so that might make a day easier doing that but if you’re going to take the kids anywhere I recommend taking to the British museum so they can see you know the mummies that are there and the uh the Rosetta Stone and like some pretty famous collections there so something to kind of think about so London always an easy one it’s a short flight from the US and believe me with all the cheap airlines throughout Europe it’s easy to get there from anywhere now next up on my list is Rome Italy now why Rome dude it’s Rome it’s the Eternal City the Coliseum has probably been in 16 of the cartoon episodes they’ve watched this week right like it is a thing going to the Coliseum going to The Forum taking that in going to see the cysteine chapel and the kids going oh that’s that painting where the people are putting their fingers together yes Junior it is and there’s the art that’s there there’s the history that’s there with the Romans but also the Italians they love kids as well I think they love kids better more than the French cuz when we were in Rome I we’ve been going to Rome for years like that was the first one of the first trips that Liam took abroad uh when he was little he was 7 weeks old and we flew to Italy and we were in the Rome airport it was hilarious cuz the like T the TSA agents basically at security these two ladies they saw us and we’re at the end of this huge long line they’re like Basta people and they like Come Running get like I will hold the baby and so they take baby lean while we go through security it was so awesome and what’s cool is in Italy there’s all kinds of Pathways oh you got kids you could just skip the line who doesn’t mind that remember that when you’re flying out of rum going back to the US you see that huge long line be like look bimo bimo Bambino children baby let us through they totally will it’s really nice but honestly the food there what kid doesn’t want pasta every single day you have that but also they have meat dishes all kinds of stuff and what’s cool is the people respect the children there people with children there so they’re going to have things for them and don’t be surprised if Mama comes out from the back or or no no the Grandma comes out from the back and like watches your kid so you can actually have a romantic meal with your wife or with your husband I mean I still remember going to EST in Rome and there was baby Liam at seven weeks and Caleb who was four like the lady comes it’s like oh you guys come back I’ll teach him how like she takes him back shows them how to make pasta so we actually got to have some wine and got to talk you know it’s just it’s just a fantastic thing I can’t say enough how great Rome is with kids and then number five on my list we’re heading to Spain we’re going to Barcelona now I know Barcelona is the pickpocket capital of Europe however if you get past that Barcelona’s actually really good for families cuz one you’ve got City beaches okay they built these beaches in the ’90s and so it’s literally right there on the city beach like right there so you can just walk to the the beach enjoy yourself then go back into town you’ll be fine plenty of stuff to do activities at the beach as well also you have Parks throughout the city you can enjoy Park G with its crazy gouty architecture going to the sagata Familia make sure you pre-book your tickets so you don’t wait in line in the heat with the kids I mean you have that to go check out cuz it’s such a crazy looking church that kids really dig it but also you can do toas little snack little small plates of food so you can have your kids try a lot of different foods and you can as well and also the Spanish love kids too so don’t be surprised it’s not just the abas the grandmas that are saying hi the local people hey what’s up Chico what’s up H H like they’re so sweet there in Barcelona with the kids so and also you can get around with the subway very easily there and that’s why like all these places have great public transportation great connections throughout Europe and the rest of the world and have easy to feed your kid and have fun with your kid so I hope this helps you kind of help make a decision where you could travel with your kids when they’re little or when they’re not so little anymore cuz I’ve gone to all the places with my kids and I swear by this list it has made my life a lot easier having big cities like this to go and enjoy and see the culture but enjoy with my kids so what are some other great cities you like to go to in Europe to travel with your kids let us know in the comments below so we can help families
