2. Copenhagen, Denmark
Few cities are as child-friendly as Copenhagen. It's home to Tivoli Gardens, the world's second-oldest amusement park, where vintage rides and twinkling lights create pure magic. The National Museum of Denmark has an entire section where kids can dress up as Vikings, while the Experimentarium turns science into a playground with giant soap bubbles and interactive exhibits. Even getting around is fun-rent cargo bikes and cycle through the city like a local. And, of course, no visit is complete without saying hello to the famous Little Mermaid statue.

3. Gold Coast, Australia
If your kids love adrenaline, the Gold Coast is paradise. The region is packed with theme parks, from the Hollywood-inspired Warner Bros. Movie World to the water slides of Wet'n'Wild. Animal encounters? Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary lets kids feed kangaroos and meet koalas up close. The beaches here are just as family-friendly — Surfers Paradise has gentle waves perfect for little swimmers, while Tallebudgera Creek is a calm spot for paddleboarding and picnics. And when you need a break from the sun, Infinity Attraction offers a mind-bending indoor maze of mirrors and illusions.

4. Orlando, USA
Orlando isn't just about theme parks, but let's be honest-they're the main event. Walt Disney World is the obvious choice, with its four massive parks filled with princesses, pirates, and roller coasters. Universal Orlando is a must for Harry Potter fans, while LEGOLAND Florida is perfect for younger kids who love building (and water slides). Beyond the parks, Kennedy Space Center is a great day trip where families can see real rockets and even meet astronauts. And when it's time to relax, Wekiwa Springs offers crystal-clear natural pools just outside the city.
5. Edinburgh, Scotland
Edinburgh has just the right mix of history and fantasy to keep kids entertained. Start at Edinburgh Castle, where they can see the Crown Jewels and hear tales of knights and battles. Stroll down Victoria Street, the inspiration for Harry Potter's Diagon Alley, before taking a magical Harry Potter walking tour. The National Museum of Scotland is a hit with families, thanks to its dinosaur skeletons and interactive science exhibits. And for a spooky twist, older kids might love a ghost tour through the city's underground vaults — if they're brave enough!
