Berlin

Berlin is genuinely easy with kids partly because so much open space was built into the city after reunification, and neighborhoods like Prenzlauer Berg have a slow-paced, local-family feel with toy shops and bookstores on every block. For a meal that embodies Prenzlauer Berg, Zur Haxe is loud, wall-to-wall with artifacts, and serves the kind of hearty German food that works for all ages. A working community garden called Prinzessinnengarten in Neukölln lets families dig in actual soil and harvest vegetables, which is a welcome reset after museums and monuments.

FamiVentura's Berlin guide offers 15 picks per category, 2-day and 5-day itineraries, a neighbourhood guide, and a survival guide for a city where history and daily life mix in ways that are hard to find anywhere else.
