Brussels to Amsterdam
You say family trip, we say Amsterdam.
Its mostly flat terrain (perfect for strollers) and amazing playgrounds in places like the Voldelpark make this city loved by families. The canal boats and the Artis Zoo will quickly become your little ones' favorites.
And getting to Amsterdam? A fun journey on its own. One of the most stress-free European routes, in fact. Short enough to avoid meltdowns, and long enough for a good nap. Plus, A16/A4 highways are pitted with clean rest stops.
Let's make some scenic stops:
Kinderdijk (60 min)
Kinderdijk means windmills straight out of fairytales. So yes, the kids are going to love it.
The flat paths and open spaces make Kinderdijk the safest place to run and jump around. You only need an hour here, maybe a bit more. Just enough time to explore and snap a few family pics.
Clara Maria Cheese and Clog Farm (60 min)
You'll love watching cheese and clog making with your family.
How couldn't you, with animals around and fresh cheese waiting? The easy walk, fun indoor activities, and snacks make this stop a win for everyone.
Copenhagen to Billund
Billund is one of those places every family should experience at least once. Because let's be honest, LEGO isn't just for kids.
Between the LEGO House, Legoland, and all the hands-on play, everyone's imagination gets a workout. And the gentle rollercoasters? Just right for small children.
Even getting there feels like it's made for families: wide-open farmland views, a super walkable town, and clean rest stops along the way. What more could we ask for?
This is where the trip gets even better:
Odense (60 min)
Before the Legoland magic, make a stop in Odense and enjoy the Hans Christian Andersen Museum.
But heads up, it's no ordinary museum. The interactive storytelling here totally captivates the little ones. And the fairytale vibes don't stop there. As you wander the city, you'll bump into The Little Mermaid, The Ugly Duckling, and other familiar faces, all set among beautiful parks and family-friendly spots to eat.
Munich to Salzburg
Here's the ideal background for any family trip. What could be better than a glimpse of The Sound of Music, to actually be in the scenery itself?
And the route to get to this magical town is magical on its own. It's simply one of the most scenic routes in all of Europe. You'll go through such amazing views of the Bavarian countryside and cute villages that the kids will trade their screens for window views.
Stop by these gems to double the fun:
Herrenchiemsee (120 min)
Kufstein (60min)
Barcelona to Valencia
Valencia's a family favorite for a reason.
The City of Arts and Sciences alone is enough: giant aquariums, underwater tunnels, and hands-on science fun, all in buildings worthy of sci-fi setting.
After that? Time to chill for the family at Malvarrosa Beach. Even the road trip from Barcelona feels like a holiday, with Mediterranean views and plenty of snack stops.
Sights that are worth stopping for:
Tarragona (60 min)
Just 1.5 hours after you leave Barcelona, you'll want to stop by Tarragona to have a nice lunch all together and give a play break.
The seaside Roman amphitheater which feels like a real gladiator arena is usually why kids love this city so much. And beaches all around mean lots of refreshing and splashing.
PeñĂscola Castle
London to Paultons Park and Peppa Pig World
Traveling with toddlers or young kids? Look no further, this is the family trip you've been looking for.
In just two nice hours in your comfy private drive from London, you'll reach Paultons Park and Peppa Pig World, full of bright colors and characters your kids already love. Plus, the park is super easy to navigate; stroller-friendly with plenty of chill zones when you need a breather.
What's waiting for you on the way:
Milestones Museum (90 min)
Better not miss out on Milestones Museum in Basingstoke on your way to Paultons Park.
You'll be in for a treat with vintage vehicles, cute old shops, and cobbled Victorian streets all around. It's both indoors and interactive, and that makes it ideal for a 1-2 hour weather proof break that keeps little ones engaged.
