More difficult? But oh, so rewarding
Family travel is all about making memories together – and it doesn’t have to be stressful. The secret is to plan just enough to keep things running smoothly, while leaving space for spontaneity.
Choose destinations and activities that work for all ages, from adventurous days out to quiet downtime. Pack smart with snacks, entertainment, and a few comfort items to keep everyone happy on the go.
Involve the kids in planning so they feel part of the adventure, and embrace the little surprises – they often become the stories you remember most.

Travelling with a child
Travelling with a child changes the way you see the world – suddenly, small details become the big highlights. You might find yourself lingering at a playground in a city square, watching street performers a little longer, or seeking out the best ice cream in town.
Family travel encourages a slower pace, which often reveals more of a destination’s personality. While there are extra logistics to consider, from naps to meal times, the joy of sharing new sights, sounds, and tastes with your child is unbeatable. Their curiosity can turn even the simplest journey into a fresh and exciting adventure for you both.
