Top Five Tips for Family Holidays in Europe

One: Include all family members in the planning, so nobody feels left out, bored or ignored. Few things could be less fun than a family holiday where Dad is quietly sulking because he didn’t get to go to the museum he wanted, the teen is whining that they never get to do anything fun. Make sure whoever is in charge is listening to the rest of the family. Two: Plan to split up. You’re not all going to want to do the same things, and you don’t have to in order to have a good time. Maybe some of you can go shopping while another couple head for the beach. Don’t drag people to places they have no interest in unless it’s necessary. When that’s said, consider finding a family friendly version of each person’s favourite activity. Is there an old church that’s especially spectacular? Perhaps you could all go and see that one! Three: Consider self catering. It can be cheaper than eating out, and it can give you a sense of freedom not to be dependent on hotels and restaurants. As...
