Italy
Italy offers an abundance of opportunities for children and adults alike, with a timeless aura that will surely unleash your little ones’ imagination. From its metropolises to its quaint towns, Italy’s breathtaking landscapes are ones to explore as a family. Wander through its narrow, cobblestone streets as you venture through an ancient city, and/or simply relax on a gondola ride through a canal.
Discover the ruins of ancient and renowned civilizations and explore the country’s rich history and culture when you choose to travel to Italy. Please keep in mind that with Italy’s cobblestone streets, it can be difficult to walk around with a pram or stroller. So, it might be worth considering that a trip to Italy may be best reserved for families with older children who can walk by themselves.
No matter where you choose to travel in Italy for a family adventure, incredible experiences await. For one thing, you will be able to fill your stomachs with authentic Italian cuisine, from pizza to pasta, at the very birthplace of these dishes!
With many places within Italy to choose from, our recommendations include:
- Lake Garda
- Venice
- Rome
- Campania
- Sicily

Sweden
If you are looking for something a little more peaceful, holiday packages in Sweden guarantee awe-inspiring sights and experiences for travelers of all ages. As one of the top places to visit for a chance to witness the Northern Lights, or the Aurora Borealis, Sweden is a must-visit destination and should be placed at, or near the top of your bucket list.
Luxury meets adventure with a family holiday in Sweden – the raw beauty of Sweden will impress any visitor, from its bustling cities to its serene forests and lakes. You will find many playgrounds within the country, perfect for a small break in your itinerary and allowing your children to play on pirate ships and colorful swings.
Alternatively, you might head to Swedish Lapland, where the Northern Lights can be spotted between the months of September and March. This provides a once-in-a-lifetime experience, with the chance to visit and/or stay in ice hotels, relax in spas, encounter reindeer, and more!
