Travelling with young children works best when the trip is planned around their day, not yours. Here is what we learned from many trips with small travellers.
Pick the right stay
- A rental with a kitchen and a separate bedroom gives everyone room after bedtime.
- Ask for a ground floor or a lift if you travel with a stroller.
- A pool or a park within a short walk saves many afternoons.
Pace the days
Plan one activity in the morning and keep the afternoon light. Tours of two to three hours suit young children better than full days, and many operators offer a lower price for children aged 2 to 12.
Let them pack one bag
A small backpack with a favourite toy, a book and a snack gives a child something to look after. It also means fewer questions about where the toy went at the airport.
