The Go-To Destination for Travel With Kids and Family Travel
Europe
The diversity and breadth of what Europe has to offer in terms of it’s history, food, culture and experiences is stunning. Europe is the continent the 2 Idiots have explored the most and we are excited to share our experiences from here.
Here are the countries we have traveled with our child in Europe (Iceland live and others coming soon!):
Croatia, Denmark, England, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Montenegro, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Russia
Visiting the south of France should be on everyone’s bucket list. A gorgeous sunny coast with wonderful cities and well-known cuisine is every traveler’s dream. Read on to find out what are the best things to do in Cannes to create your own travel plan.
If you ask any European about the summer, the first thing they usually think about is Greece. At least it is one of few countries that comes to mind if you think about summer holidays in Europe. Choosing the best time to visit Greece is very simple. If it’s sunny you can go there, because there is always something to do and see. Here’s our kid-friendly itinerary for a perfect Greek summer.
Greece is one of those places that resemble paradise on the beach. Turquoise water, impressive culture, and food to die for are enough reasons to visit Greece at least once in a lifetime. Choose the best time to travel to Greece and start planning a trip with your loved ones. Greece is one of the ultimate family destinations in Europe, and if you haven’t been here yet, now is the time for you to experience this natural beauty.
Best Iceland tour companies are not so hard to find. Although it is a small country and you would not expect them to be so open to tourists, they are extremely friendly and happy to see travelers from around the world. Tourism is, after all, one of the top three industries in Iceland, right after fishing and aluminum production.
Traveling to Ireland is a trip of a lifetime for everyone. The land of amazing stories and picturesque countryside is everything you need for an amazing vacation. Here are some things to do with kids in Ireland for the most memorable family holiday.
Like most European cities, Paris is a family-friendly destination with almost all the attractions located near the city center. If you are wondering where to stay in Paris with kids, this is a guide that will help you decide. Although a very safe city, there are still some parts of it that are more convenient for families than the others, especially if you want to avoid public transportation.
Why do the 2 Idiots Recommend the Drive from Reykjavik to Vik?
When you visit Iceland, it’s highly likely that you will be flying into Reykjavik, Iceland’s main city, which is located on the western side of the country. It’s also highly probable that you will venture out of the city because there is so much to see, and we recommend that you head to Vik, located about two and a half hours as the crow flies on the southern coast. However, we do not believe that you should simply head in a straight shot to Vik—but rather follow a route that allows you to maximize the sites. In Iceland, it’s not just about the destination, but the route you take to reach where you are going. With that being said, while the distance between the two cities isn’t significant, note that we left Reykjavik at 8:30 am and reached Vik around 7 pm.
The Golden Circle, in our opinion, is one of the most beautiful drives a person can ever take in their lifetime. It comprises three stunning locations in the southwest of the country–Þingvellir National Park, the Geysir Geothermal Area, and Gullfoss waterfall. It’s quite surreal, frankly—and we saw so many incredible sites that we had never seen before or will likely see again.
WHY DO THE 2 IDIOTS RECOMMEND BARCELONA WITH KIDS?
Spain is our favorite country, and Barcelona is one of our favorite cities. It is one of the most underrated countries in Europe, and we love Barcelona even more than Paris. (Yes! We said it!) You’ll find the entire city, and country, for that matter, is very child-friendly – they will not shush your children for making noise in a restaurant! Instead, Barcelona is very laid back, vibrant and fun, and the people are very warm and welcoming. Here’s what to see when traveling to Barcelona with kids.
After visiting one of our favorite cities, Barcelona, with extended family – and two more children – we hit the road to explore Southern Spain’s coastline, discovering the allure of the coastal city of Tarragona.
Upon first impressions, we were, well, not impressed. It seemed like a small, little town with not much but boy were we wrong. Not only did we see some incredible sights, we ended up having some of our best meals in this incredibly charming ancient Roman city. All you need is two days to see it, although we easily could have spent more time here.
