Europe's favourite family destinations

Whether you're trying to keep rampaging toddlers under control or attempting to satisfy incumbent surly teens, family holidays can be a tricky, and sometimes expensive, venture. But picking the ideal location, suitable to a variety of childish tastes, a perfect, stress free holiday experience that everyone will enjoy can be achieved.

Spain

A favourite with family vacationers for decades now, there is more to Spain than the tourist strewn Costa's. Northern Spain, in areas such as Cantabria and Galicia offers far more quiet beaches, beautiful landscapes, amazing wildlife and a ton of family friendly activities such as horse riding and walking tours. If you fancy being a little more active, head to the glorious Picos de Europa mountain range for a family activity holiday incorporating mountain biking, canoeing, climbing and much more. A good night's sleep is guaranteed. Or for something completely different, how about a donkey guided tour through the stunning Castile region of central Spain, where the only problem will be wanting to cram your beloved four-legged companion into your suitcase to take home.

France

Brittany has a huge number of fun things to keep frisky kids distracted. Les Balneides is both a go-kart and water-park, while Cobac Park features a whole host of thrilling rides. The region also has zoos, aquariums and beach clubs to keep the nippers busy. If you are feeling a little more sedate, then head into Southern Normandy and rent your very own family-sized treehouse in the idyllic La Renardière garden. And let's not overlook the obvious. Paris may be thought of as the capital of love and art, but kids can have fun there too. Don't forget Disneyland Paris is right on the doorstep.

Croatia

With its stunning stretches of coastline and incredible history, Croatia has undergone a vacation transformation in recent years. And with its many islands and resorts, you can find something to satisfy even the most truculent teen. Have a hankering for some adventure? Try a white water rafting and canoeing holiday on the Cetina River, with a cycle through the Croatian countryside and a day in Split thrown in. The newly renovated Hotel Vespera on the island of Losinj sits right on serene blue-green ocean and offers a variety of water based attractions for the little ones plus babysitting facilities and playgrounds. If you want to throw a little education into the mix, travel to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Trogir, a historic 'museum' city with masses of historical sites and cultural delights.

Italy

If you've just had your wee one and you're already in need of a break, how about a Tuscan yoga retreat in Italy, with the focus on fitness and relaxation. They'll even look after the baby while you try a spot of Pilates. If you are in the mood to splash out and possibly engage in a spot of people watching, one of the top celebrity family locations is the Forte Village in stunning Sardinia. This five-star resort offers the best of everything, but be warned. It ain't cheap. Slightly more manageable financially and perfect for those fantasising about the cowboy life is the Umbrian La Casella Hotel, featuring a variety of equestrian activities, plus swimming, archery and even a beauty parlour to keep the parental units happy.

Planning your family holiday

Your family holiday should be one of the highlights of the year, yet so many parents return from their break vowing never to attempt it again. But if you get the basics of a family holiday right, you'll come back with fond memories rather than needing another break to recover.

It all starts in the planning

  • Make a list of the things each member of your family might want from the trip - such as a sandy beach or watersports lessons - and decide whether you all need a rest or are looking for something physically or mentally challenging. Then sort your list into “must haves” and “nice to haves” to help you make a decision.
  • Decide on how long you want to be away for.
  • Think about the length of the journey your family can cope with. This will vary by the age of your children and how long you, realistically, think they will handle being confined in a plane.

You should now be starting to filter out some destinations. To help you further:

  • Think about the time of year you are travelling and do some research on the weather in your potential destinations.
  • Find out whether you will need any injections or medication, such as malaria tablets, for any of your short list of destinations and address any health concerns.
  • For inspiration, take a look at our article on 'Top 10 family destinations'. When you have a short list, it's a good idea to talk through the options with your family so everyone feels involved in the decision. That way, you'll have a better chance of starting off on a good footing.

Doing your research will pay dividends

Time spent researching your trip will really pay off when you are there - you don't want any nasty surprises when you arrive

Start by looking online and browsing a good cross-section of websites - for example, travel companies and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office - for help and advice on destinations and resorts that are suitable for children and families.

If you still have questions, speak to your local travel agent who should be able to recommend companies and accommodation to suit your needs. You could also pick up brochures for inspiration.

Talk to friends and family to get family holiday destination ideas, and ask your connections on social media platforms for advice and inspiration.

Travelling with children

Make sure that the journey to and from your holiday destination is as stress free as the time away itself by following our tips on travelling with children. You've done all of the hard work booking and planning your family holiday, and now is the time to relax.

Many parents are filled with dread at the prospect of being stuck in an airport for hours with an easily-bored child, or being the mother or father of the energetic toddler constantly kicking the seat in front on a plane. However, going to the airport and flying can be very exciting for children and, with a little preparation, needn't be stressful for parents.nf

Why is travel so brilliant for families?

We all love holidays but as well as being the chance to soak up some sun, they are extremely beneficial for the whole family. Find out why.

Do you have fond memories of a family holiday from your childhood? Many of us do and this is because travel - however near or far from home you venture - is something that can enrich and add so much to your life. It offers the chance to see places beyond your familiar neighbourhood, to experience new foods and cultures, to enjoy new experiences, to marvel at unique places and, often, to appreciate more about your own life and where you come from.

For parents, travel can be a great opportunity to teach your children more about the world they live in and to challenge any preconceptions they may have. Children are naturally curious and soak up new experiences, so holidays are the ideal time to introduce them to different sights, tastes, smells and sounds - while having fun.

After all, a family holiday is more than just a break in the sun, a visit to a city or ski slope, or a trip to a theme park, it's a chance for the whole group to learn and grow together while in a different environment.
