Europe With Kids

Kings and queens, Mary Poppins, Oliver Twist, Platform 9-3/4... the minds of kids are full of snippets about London, which makes visiting in real life all the more fun.

Paris has some wonderful sightseeing that kids are already primed to visit: even young kids know about the Eiffel Tower, and Notre Dame Cathedral may also be familiar thanks to the Hunchback of Notre Dame story. Also, simply strolling along the Seine is fun. And (dare we mention) there are two terrific theme parks nearby.

Euro Disney (Disneyland Paris), visiting France with babies and toddlers, biking holidays...

Practical tips for having a terrific time in this romantic city-- with little kids along.

Adventures by Disney offers several trips in Europe: this one's an all-details-handled family experience of Italy, including Rome; medieval hill-town Orvieto; Tuscan countryside and visit to Florence; and finishing in Venice. Bellissima!

To visitors, medieval "hill towns" are like storybook towns that time forgot; they did not develop into big cities over the centuries, but rather kept their narrow lanes, massive gates, stone buildings-- perfect for kids' imaginations to travel back in time. See Orvieto, Todi, Cortona, Assisi.
