Family Travel Guides and family vacation ideas

Traveling with kids is a wonderful thing but there is no doubt that it takes a little bit more planning than buying a ticket and jetting off to your destination.

While I believe it is possible to be spontaneous about travel with kids in tow, I find it is much easier to travel with kids if I have an idea of specific attraction they may like in the destination and itineraries  I can follow.

Since the kids came along I perfect the 'art' of crafting itineraries and guides.

My husband laughs at me when he sees me  planning holidays and even rolls his eyes when I look at maps of places months before we are due to go but I always get vindicated once on location.

You know when you are in your hotel in the morning, kids fretting to go to a place you promised you'd bring them to and you discover on your phone the place is miles away and actually booked out? Well, we had our share of those and I promised myself I would avoid any more of them at all costs!

In this part of the website I share the results of my effort. Here you will find guides of our family vacation destinations that you can use as inspirations for your own family travel or even a step by step guide to craft your itinerary (or just follow ours!).

The guides have been written as we returned from vacations so there is no special order to them except our own personal experience of each place.

Our favorite family vacation destinations and guides

Some of our favorite vacation destinations are:

Ireland, where we live. Find here our favorite itinerary and top things to do with kids

Italy, where I am from. This is a classic Italy itinerary and these are the tops things to do in Italy with kids

In terms of cities, we love Rome with kids, Dublin with kids and Amsterdam with kids most of all!

Outside of Europe our favourite family vacation destination is the USA and we have a special place in our heart for California, especially Southern California for the kids was special.

I hope you have fun browsing this section of the website. Safe family travels!
