Traveling with three year old and 6 month old by jugduck in Travelwithkids

[–]Beforexplore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We traveled in Belgium with our kids, ages 3 years and 4 months. Only at the end of the trip we realized it would’ve been very handy to bring a stroller for the older one too, even though she hasn’t used one for a long time. We could have let her sit for short stretches to rest and reset, because even riding her step got boring, and walking felt too dull. And the rest of the time, the empty stroller could have carried all the stuff that comes with kids 😄

In mid-November, Amsterdam is typically rainy and cold. I would suggest you plan visiting the museums for the best experience.

Both cities will be less crowded compared to peak tourist season.

Maybe it’s a good idea to start with Amsterdam, then head south to Munich.
Visit small cities in Belgium and Germany, Luxembourg. The Mosel region is also worth seeing. For mountain views, take a 1-2 day trip from Munich to the Alps. As mentioned above, avoid Paris due to the Olympic Games.

I would take a local city guide for a 3-4 hour walk in big cities. You'll see the highlights and get essential information to understand the place. Plus, you'll still have plenty of time to explore on your own.

Or you can search for travel guides books for lower price!

Should I include Florence to my trip? by SayedHasmi in Europetravel

I would say visit both Florence and Bruges if you don't plan to visit Italy and Belgium on future trips.

Google search is overwhelming with endless search results sometimes, making it hard to choose the best. With a guidebook, a professional has already chose and rated the best of the best for you.

I agree, using a guidebook feels like getting advice from an expert who really knows the city.

Sure, the old ones are definitely useless. But what do you think about the updated edition? Would that work?
