Best European city break with teenagers?

65 replies

Hopalongnancy · 06/11/2022 22:08

Looking for suggestions for a city break next summer with 2 older teenagers.
Not Paris or Barcelona (been there)

We like history, cathedrals and water!

Wanted to do say 3 nights?

I'd say Amsterdam.

AnyFucker · 06/11/2022 22:11

Venice

TheaBrandt · 06/11/2022 22:11

Berlin. Super cool.

TheaBrandt · 06/11/2022 22:12

Berlin also has massive public open air swimming pools we went in May swam in the morning sight seeing in afternoon.

BadAmbassador · 06/11/2022 22:12

Yes to Berlin!

gingercat02 · 06/11/2022 22:14

YY to Amsterdam. Brugge and Brussels. Prague. All of Tuscany. Rome. Millions of places many of which I haven't been to yet

MinionsAssemble · 06/11/2022 22:18

Venice, Rome, Sevilla, Malaga, Lisbon are all faves for us! Heard excellent things about Valencia too.

grayhairdontcare · 06/11/2022 22:21

Definitely Budapest

TreesAtSea · 06/11/2022 22:21

Amsterdam every time! Ghent is also beautiful and would meet your criteria.

maddy68 · 06/11/2022 22:23

Nuremberg. The Hitler trails things are fascinating

SanFranBear · 06/11/2022 22:24

Amsterdam - so SO much more than weed and red lights!

Mojitomogul · 06/11/2022 22:24

Krakow, Prague, sarlat(France) is lovely and you can go canoeing down the river and eat from the French markets.

Bouledeneige · 06/11/2022 22:35

Amsterdam, Rome, Lisbon

ohidoliketobe · 06/11/2022 22:36

Berlin or Hamburg

Charleyfox · 06/11/2022 22:46

Berlin! Just done this with teens at half term and they loved it. Very cool city

ReviewingTheSituation · 06/11/2022 22:47

Budapest. Has it all!

iwantavuvezela · 06/11/2022 22:49

Copenhagen - such a cool city, walkable, lots of water

ProperSorryFrown · 06/11/2022 22:49

I'm taking DS13 to Berlin. After lots of research I was surprised how much it had to offer.

grayhairdontcare · 06/11/2022 22:21

Definitely Budapest

Came on to say the same. Mine absolutely loved it when they were teenagers. Ended up going 3 times with them.

Loads of lovely outdoor spas, waterpark on Margaret island, tons and tons of history, river cruises, castle, and great food, if you like pork - which I do. They have other food too of course. Nice beer as well.

EmmaC78 · 06/11/2022 22:55

I went to Copenhagen last month and really enjoyed it. It would be ideal to take teenagers to.

falllakes · 06/11/2022 22:58

Berlin

whiteroseredrose · 06/11/2022 23:05

Rome is a great choice. Ancient history everywhere and easy food - pizza, pasta and ice cream.

Berlin is also amazing. There is the WW2 angle, the Cold War and Berlin Wall.

AriettyHomily · 06/11/2022 23:08

Bruges, Amsterdam. krakow,

Anoooshka · 06/11/2022 23:09

Sicily.

Anoooshka · 06/11/2022 23:11

Anoooshka · 06/11/2022 23:09

Sicily.

Oops. Not a city. Venice would be great.
