Family Vacation in Jun
 

Hi, I am planning to visit Europe with family (wife and two kids. Kids age are 10 and 8). I will arrive at Amsterdam and Fly out from Paris. I have 11 clear days for the trip. I would appreciate if esteemed members can provide some suggestions and guidance. This is my first trip to Europe. Thanks

<< can provide some suggestions and guidance>>

Based on what? We have no knowledge of what you like, what the family likes, whether the kids are boys or girls, where you'd prefer to go (other than your airports), your nightly lodging budget, &c.

I suggest that you buy a guidebook or two--"Europe Through the Back Door," by Rick Steves, might be a good choice for you, since your choices are wide open.

I agree that you must include some details about your family and your likes and dislikes.

4 days Amsterdam (with one day trip; possibly to the beach if the weather is nice), 2 days Brugge and 5 days Paris.

Check the schedule for the European football championship, it may be busy in Paris.

For hotels I assume you want a family room for 4 people - probably with 2 double beds. If this won't work you need to let us know. Then we need a specific budget per night in euros to make any recos.

Also we do need info on your interests. Assume with young kids you will want to do some kid specific things such as zoos, kids museums, etc - but what are your interests: history, art, architecture, cafe sitting, just exploring cute neighborhoods. Do you want to stick to all casual dining? Are picnics with food from a street market an option? Do you have any food restrictions - is anyone a vegetarian?

Any info you can give us will help.
