London is the most children-friendly of the European vacations. The country has culture and history, but it is similar to the United States so it will not be too much of a culture shock for children. People in London will speak the same language, there are similar stores and fast-food restaurants for finicky children, and the flight is not too long for an inexperienced traveler. Great attractions in London include viewing the castles and history of the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace, all the exciting theaters playing the best shows and the beautiful parks. Visit fun places like the London Eye, London Dungeon, Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum and King's Cross St. Pancras Station for Harry Potter fans. This is a great choice for your child's first European vacation.
Paris, the City of Lights, is a grand vacation choice. The country features culture, history and experiences that will change a child's life. Children will squeal while seeing the Eiffel Tower for the first time and be fascinated by the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles. While some of the art museums and churches can become dry for a child, do expose them to the Louvre or Basilica of St Denis. Children can also enjoy a boat ride on the beautiful Seine River. For another exciting trip option in Paris, venture a little outside of Paris to Disneyland Paris for a wonderful experience for children. Do prepare your children for the culture and language shock as mostly everyone in France will be speaking French.
Rome is a place full of beauty. The area has a gorgeous city with culture along with a fun seaside and shore for children to enjoy themselves.
