October city break with 9 and 1 year old

[Rubixcubecheat]

Hello looking for ideas for a European city break for myself and 2 children (OH isnt sure if he can come). Must be easy to get around with a buggy and NOT hot. The below are following things that tend to go down well on holiday for us:

Hop on and off buses
Tram rides
Castles
Theme parks
Beaches (for a short while so not essential)
Easy in terms of food/eating out (not opposed to visiting the odd chain restaurant found in the UK for an easy life)
ICE CREAM
Boat/ferry rides
Zoos
Child-friendly museums
Interesting parks/gardens
Fountains (9 year old obsessed!)
Fly from east midlands/Birmingham

Things that don't go down well:
Shopping
Heat
Too much walking (hence hop on and off buses been top of the list)

Any ideas much appreciated. Thank you in advance

I think Lisbon would be a great pick for you. The only concern you might have is that it'll be too hot but around the end of October, temperature are between 18 and 20 degrees Celsius. The tram goes right through all the main sightseeing spots. There are plenty of food options as well because Portuguese food is already pretty child-friendly (not spicy or odd) but there are lots of burger and pizza places too.

Also, if you want a beach day, there are plenty just a short train journey away. I work at TransferTravel.com and have found a lot of families buy holidays to Lisbon and Barcelona in autumn because it's a bit cooler and not as busy.

Hope this helps!
