Europe is home to an incredible array of captivating cultural destinations where parents can reconnect with their children. From fun-filled theme parks to historical landmarks, there are countless ways to keep your kids entertained and educated this summer. Family travel is not without headaches however; many hotels can only accommodate two guests per room, limiting the options for families. Fortunately, some forward-thinking European hotels provide family rooms with plenty of space for the parents and kids to stay together. If you’re planning a family summer holiday to Europe, check out WebBeds’ guide to the best places to stay and things to do in five of the continent’s most stunning cities. We’ve also got a series of special offers to make every stay even more attractive!
