We asked him for&nbsp;his favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/lp\/deals\/history-art-travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">European<\/a>&nbsp;cities for families.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>When Travelocity asked me to write about our top five kid-friendly cities in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/lp\/deals\/history-art-travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Europe<\/a>, I thought about everywhere on the continent that we\u2019ve traveled the past 10 years \u2013 70+ cities in 20 countries \u2013 and made a short list. My top two, Paris and London, seemed too easy to include \u2013 they\u2019re large cities with parks, playgrounds, easy transportation, and almost unlimited things to do. Plus they\u2019re the top two European destinations for American&nbsp;travelers&nbsp;every year.<\/p>\n<p>So I\u2019m leaving London and Paris off my list and concentrating on five lesser-traveled cities that are incredibly family-friendly. Read this post, then click through to <a href=\"https:\/\/travelocity.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Travelocity<\/a> and book a trip! March&nbsp;is a great time to be thinking about summer travel.<\/p>\n<p>In no particular order, our five favorite kid-friendly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/lp\/deals\/history-art-travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">European<\/a> destinations:<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Budapest, Hungary<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Winter in Budapest can be charming, with Christmas markets and ice skating, but I far prefer to visit in spring and summer. We typically combine indoor activities like cooking classes and market visits with picnics in V\u00e1rosliget Park and trips to the zoo, and it\u2019s always fun to spend time at Castle Hill and Fisherman\u2019s Bastion on the Buda side (take the Funicular up and down). If you want to get out of town for half a day, the artsy historic town of Szentendre is only 45 minutes away.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17321\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17321\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17321\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Stoen_160703_0080.jpg\" alt=\"Kid-friendly Europe: On the Castle Hill Funicular, overlooking the Chain Bridge\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17321\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">On the Castle Hill Funicular, overlooking the Chain Bridge<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_17322\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17322\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17322\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Stoen_160703_0147.jpg\" alt=\"Kid-friendly Europe: Fisherman's Bastion in Budapest\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17322\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fisherman&#8217;s Bastion in Budapest<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_17323\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17323\" class=\"wp-image-17323 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Stoen_160703_0234.jpg\" alt=\"Kid-friendly Europe: Overlooking St. Stephen's Basilica from the rooftop patio of the Aria Hotel Budapest\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17323\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Overlooking St. Stephen&#8217;s Basilica from the rooftop patio of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/Budapest-Hotels-Aria-Hotel-Budapest-By-Library-Hotel-Collection.h10355823.Hotel-Information\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aria Hotel Budapest<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>A highlight for us our last visit was taking a speedboat on the Danube past the Hungarian Parliament Building and other major sites at sunset.

You can get them at stands everywhere, especially in the pedestrian areas, as well as from bakeries throughout the city. So, so good!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Naxos Town, Greece<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Naxos is by far our favorite Greek island for families. We chose it originally because it didn\u2019t have large cruise ships coming into port every day (islands with thousands of day-trippers lose their charm quickly) and fell for it because of the people, the restaurants, the ruins and the beaches. We typically stay on Saint George Beach, spend a lot of time at the beach and in the water (shallow to at least&nbsp;100 meters out), walk into Naxos Town for meals and simply enjoy Greek island life. A few times a summer we\u2019ll rent a car and drive around the island, but otherwise we\u2019re perfectly content to relax in and around Naxos Town. Paros, Mykonos and Santorini are all nearby and easily accessible via ferries.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17317\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17317\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17317\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Stoen_150728_0032.jpg\" alt=\"Kid-friendly Europe: Naxos Town at Sunset\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17317\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Naxos Town at Sunset<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_17318\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17318\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17318\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Stoen_150731_0091.jpg\" alt=\"Kid-friendly Europe: Overlooking St. George Beach in Naxos\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17318\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Overlooking Saint George Beach in Naxos<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t Miss:<\/strong> It\u2019s a hike, but the 1739 Terrasse Caf\u00e9 has an amazing view for sunset.

We always stay in the middle of town and walk everywhere \u2013 the city is nicely compact. Climbing the Duomo and the bell tower are always fun for kids, and we don\u2019t get too many complaints when we hike up to Piazzale Michelangelo to watch the sunset. Dining couldn\u2019t be easier. What kid doesn\u2019t love pasta, pizza and gelato \u2013 especially when they&#8217;re&nbsp;the best in the world?<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17327\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17327\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17327\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Stoen_161110_0245.jpg\" alt=\"Kid-friendly Europe - Piazzale Michelangelo at sunset\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17327\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Piazzale Michelangelo at sunset<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We visit virtually every year and make sure that our kids have an appreciation for what Florence is famous for \u2013 namely art, architecture, history and food \u2013 but in a kid-friendly way. There are numerous family-friendly walking tours and museum tours where you can skip the lines and see the sites and artwork&nbsp;that kids find the most interesting, and we include sketching everywhere we go. We\u2019ve also done&nbsp;art workshops, focusing on drawing, fresco making, paper making and book making, and have taken cooking classes for pasta, tiramisu, gelato and pizza.

It\u2019s a city based around Mozart and the Sound of Music. If your family enjoys either, you\u2019re set! Visit Mozart\u2019s birthplace and his home, and walk into the cathedral where Mozart was baptized. There are frequent concerts as well\u2026or simply enjoy the ubiquitous Mozart chocolates! For the Sound of Music you can book a tour to various movie locations, and you can actually stay at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/Salzburg-Hotels-Hotel-Schloss-Leopoldskron.h2529728.Hotel-Information\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hotel Schloss Leopoldskron<\/a>, which features&nbsp;prominently in the film.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17309\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17309\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17309\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_0100.jpg\" alt=\"Kid-friendly Europe - Playing in the gardens of Hotel Schloss Leopoldskron\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17309\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Playing in the gardens of Hotel Schloss Leopoldskron<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We always enjoy spending time in the gardens of Mirabell Palace and walking along the river, and our kids loved running around Festung Hohensalzburg, one of the largest medieval castles in Europe \u2013 even with the climb up from the city. The Toy Museum&nbsp;is excellent, and it\u2019s a perfect destination if it\u2019s raining. Definitely visit the outdoor markets throughout town. We never eat lunch in a restaurant \u2013 the street food is simply too good. Easy day trip options include Hallstatt, Austria\u2019s oldest (and possibly most picturesque) village, and Berchtesgaden, Germany, with its (very kid-friendly) salt mine tour.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17310\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17310\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17310\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9164.jpg\" alt=\"Kid-friendly Europe - The gardens of Mirabell Palace, with Hohensalzburg Castle in the distance \" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17310\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The gardens of Mirabell Palace, with Hohensalzburg Castle in the distance<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_17308\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17308\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17308\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_0049.jpg\" alt=\"Kid-friendly Europe: At the Salzburg Toy Museum\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17308\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">At the Salzburg Toy Museum<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t Miss:<\/strong> The Salzburg Festival every summer has numerous child-focused events and performances. All three of our kids thoroughly enjoyed the two operas for children that we attended \u2013 professional performances shortened to an hour and fifteen minutes or so and easy to follow despite not being in English.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Zagreb, Croatia<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We love Croatia, and of everywhere that we\u2019ve traveled within Croatia, Zagreb remains our favorite. We enjoy simply walking around and exploring. The city is compact, with parks, fountains, squares, markets and pedestrian streets, and we can easily spend two days relaxing in town, wandering down side streets and getting food as we go \u2013 from market stalls, cafes and street vendors. It\u2019s worth walking by the cathedral, and don\u2019t miss Lotr\u0161\u010dak Tower, an easy climb with a great view.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17314\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17314\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17314\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Stoen_150614_0151.jpg\" alt=\"Kid-friendly Europe - Zagreb Cathedral, the tallest building in Croatia \" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17314\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Zagreb Cathedral, the tallest building in Croatia<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The best reason to visit Zagreb, though, is for Plitvice Lakes National Park, one of the world\u2019s most beautiful sites. Plitvice sees over 1 million visitors a year, but it\u2019s still largely ignored by Americans traveling to Europe. It\u2019s only two hours from Zagreb and well worth a day of your vacation.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17315\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17315\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Stoen_150615_0078.jpg\" alt=\"Kid-friendly Europe:Plitvice Lakes National Park from above\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17315\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Plitvice Lakes National Park from above<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The park consists of&nbsp;a series of 16 interconnected lakes, cascading into each other via waterfalls, with&nbsp;wooden walkways along the lakes as well as stairs for the steeper climbs. There are also boats linking the shores of the larger lakes. The lakes are virtually all turquoise or green-colored \u2013 stunning. We arrived at Plitvice at 11am and didn&#8217;t leave&nbsp;until 5pm. The entire time we simply walked from lake to lake &#8211; well I walked, but my son ran most of the time! We also took two boat rides and had&nbsp;lunch at one of the&nbsp;park&#8217;s restaurants.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17316\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17316\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17316\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Stoen_150615_0171.jpg\" alt=\"Kid-friendly Europe: Walking around Plitvice\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17316\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Walking around Plitvice<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t Miss:<\/strong> Plitvice Lakes of course, but in Zagreb Tkalciceva Street was our go-to destination for snacks, meals and smoothies, and there\u2019s a playground nearby.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17313\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17313\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17313\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Stoen_150614_0086.jpg\" alt=\"Kid-friendly Europe: Zagreb's Tkalciceva Street\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17313\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Zagreb&#8217;s Tkalciceva Street<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eric Stoen of&nbsp;Travel Babbo&nbsp;has traveled to 43 countries&nbsp;with his three kids (7, 9 and 11), with some&nbsp;destinations being far&nbsp;more kid-friendly than others.
