Family holidays
Fun for all on a family holiday
Family holidays do not have to mean hanging up the trekking boots and putting up the sun umbrella for a week on the beach or beside the swimming pool. Whether you are looking for family activity breaks or a cheap family holiday there are plenty of options available to you.
A carefully-planned city break can be a great family holiday. It can include plenty of fun trips to child-friendly museums, zoos and aquariums, as well as enjoying public parks and be an enjoyable experience for children and adults alike. London, Barcelona and San Diego are all cities packed with excellent attractions for families and great for a family holiday.
For something a little different on your next family holiday, try a family rail tour, snaking through the spectacular scenery of the Austrian Alps or the Canadian Rockies. Or, if you are looking for family activity holidays, embark on a cycle tour through France's Loire Valley, with the kids in tow in specially-designed carriers.
And for families who would rather avoid flying, the UK has a wealth of family-friendly activities perfect for family holidays, from Newcastle's centre for children's books and Harry Potter tours of Alnwick Castle to the Jorvik Viking centre in York.
