A UK family vacation is the perfect introduction to kid-friendly international travel. With no language barrier other than one of the charming United Kingdom accents, children will feel at ease to explore the best of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Raise your pinkies at afternoon tea in a historic castle or a posh London hotel; learn all about royal (and sometimes scary!) history at the Tower of London or Edinburgh Castle; hike around the Isle of Skye; explore the political and film history of Belfast; and cheer on your favorite professional soccer team (also known as football). London and Edinburgh are two of Europe’s most-loved cities and have many accommodation options that work well for families, like apartment-style hotels within walking distance of all the attractions. Throughout the UK countryside, families return year after year to castles, manor houses, and country estates that offer onsite kid-friendly activities, with no driving required.

Let Ciao Bambino! Plan Your Next Trip

Our Happy Travelers

"I will never plan an international trip without Kristen’s and Ciao Bambino’s help. She took the time to ask lots of questions and knew what was important to us and the trip aligned with that perfectly! She was able to talk me through traveling with a young child and a teenager and planned things that they could both enjoy on the trip, which isn’t easy. It was worth every penny for the peace of mind that I had and knowing that everything I needed was in the itinerary app was key. I had no worries about having to schedule or coordinate anything. We spent two weeks together making memories that will last a lifetime!"
