Lisbon

Lisbon is compact enough to cover on foot and hilly enough to give it real character, with the Jeronimos Monastery and Castelo de Sao Jorge providing genuine history that lands even with younger kids. Time Out Market at Cais do Sodre lets families eat together without anyone compromising: everyone picks their own stall. Sintra, half an hour by train, is one of Europe's most dramatic day trips, stacking fairy-tale palaces into misty Atlantic hillsides. FamiVentura's Lisbon guides cover the city's best activities, neighborhood eats, and the excellent day trips that make a week here feel effortlessly full.
