Traveling can be an amazing bonding experience for the whole family – as long as you choose all the right attractions. Certain touristy sights are better off left out of your itinerary if you want to have an enjoyable experience, and these five fall under that category.
Long Lines
Children and long lines are not really a great match, and you should probably avoid attractions where you’ll have to queue for hours if you’re traveling with your little ones.
Overcrowded Landmarks
Even when you’re not dealing with long lines, overly crowded landmarks aren’t a great fit for family visits, unless you manage to check them out outside peak season or busy hours.
Art & History Museums
Museums are a great place to learn more about the history and culture of a new country, but they’re not always suitable for young children. They might find them overwhelming and struggle to stay quiet and entertained during their visit.
Walking Tours
While walking tours can be a fantastic way to explore a new city, they’re not necessarily suitable for children who’ll struggle with long, uninterrupted strolls.
Fancy Restaurants
Fine dining and family trips are usually a recipe for disaster. There’s no need to spend a fortune at a fancy restaurant that your kids won’t even appreciate when you can simply take them to a kid-friendly spot of their choosing.
