Luxury Family Holidays to Europe FAQs

  • When's the best time of year to take a Europe trip with kids?

    If you're planning a city break to one of the major European destinations such as Rome or Athens, it's worth factoring in how hot it can get at the height of summer. Consider visiting in March to June or September to October. These months are pleasantly warm, making it easier to get around Europe with both toddlers and older kids.

    Heading to the coast? If you want to spend your stay in Europe on the Mediterranean shores, spring and fall are the perfect seasons.

    The temperatures are cooler across the continent throughout winter, but this is the time to wrap up and go in search of the Northern Lights in Iceland. You'll find snow-capped mountains across Scandinavia, making this the ideal destination for a winter sports break, while Finland is home to Santa Claus himself. Winter is also when the Alps come alive, with skiers seeking the perfect snow from December to April.

  • What is the best European country to visit with kids?

    Europe is packed with places that are great for families, making it hard to choose just one top spot for a trip to Europe with kids. Italy stands out because of its fascinating history, tasty food, and beautiful scenery. Over in France, you can't miss seeing the Eiffel Tower or checking out some amazing museums. Iceland will wow you with its incredible natural sights like waterfalls, geysers, and icebergs. Spain has awesome beaches to relax on, lively cities to explore and fun festivals to experience. The best place in Europe for your family really depends on what kinds of things you all enjoy doing together; think about what attractions and activities would make everyone happy.

  • What do I need to know before travelling to Europe with kids?

    There are some key factors to consider before taking a Europe holiday with your kids:

    Your itinerary

    The type of holiday you choose will depend on your children's needs. Whether you're travelling to Europe with a toddler or you have older kids, we'll take care of your itinerary. We'll discuss your requirements and tailor your break to not only match but exceed your expectations.

    Languages

    Six languages in Europe have more than 40 million native speakers: Russian, French, German, Italian, English, and Spanish. English is widely spoken, with approximately 200 million Europeans having it as their second language.

    Currency

    The main currency in Europe is the euro. This is the official currency of 20 EU countries. However, it's important to note that some EU countries, such as Denmark and Sweden, have chosen to retain their own currency.

  • What is the best way to get around Europe with kids?

    Travelling through Europe with your kids may seem tricky, but here are a few ways to ensure an easy time. For starters, taking a train is a great choice because it's comfy to sit in, available in most if not all destinations, and lets you chill while watching beautiful views go by. With public transportation being top-notch in lots of European cities, getting around and seeing all the famous spots becomes pretty straightforward.

    We also recommend private transfers, especially for day trips or travelling to more remote locations. We’ll handle all the logistics, such as arranging the right car, driver and pick-up and drop-off times.

    For confident drivers, we can also arrange car hires so you can road-trip and self-drive throughout all or part of your family tour in Europe.

  • Are there options for extended family or multi-generational trips?

    In Europe, if you're planning a getaway with your big family or even bringing along grandparents for a multi-generational trip, there are luxury escapes just for you. With resorts that welcome larger families, they have places to stay where everyone can fit comfortably. They've thought about all the different age groups in your family too, making sure there's fun stuff to do and see for everyone. From enjoying the island's longest beach to learning new things through educational methods, these resorts make sure every generation leaves with special memories tucked away.
