Europe Family Holidays Top Tips From Our Travel Experts

Ed Bailey -  expert
Ed Bailey

The Algarve in Portugal is only a short three hour flight and is the same time zone as the UK & Ireland – so no jet lag issues for the kids. We travelled outside of school holidays in early October and the weather was perfect – 26°C all week with no rain.

Lily Swaffield -  expert

Believe the hype! The Costa Smeralda in Sardinia is stunning. The Emerald Coast is lined with picture-perfect bays, beautiful harbour towns and clear green and turquoise waters - it's a great option for a family holiday.

Hugh Surtees -  expert
Hugh Surtees

The ancient Colosseum is one of Italy’s most popular attractions for families and it’s easy to see why. Dizzying in both scale and history, this storied spectacle has been standing for nearly 2,000 years. Channel your inner gladiator and step into the arena where battles were fought and legends were born!
