Stockholm in Sweden is a great place to take children<\/p>\n
A mum has shared the ‘best’ European City break she has ever taken with her child, and it’s not where you would expect. When it comes to parents<\/a> taking children away on holiday with them, there are many things they need to think about before booking.<\/p>\n From how the family will travel<\/a> to the destination, if they can be kept occupied while travelling and if attractions will keep them entertained for long enough, there is a lot to think about. But one woman who shares content on social media has shared the “best’ destination she has visited with her child, which kept her occupied<\/a> every day.<\/p>\n Claire and Laura are identical twin mum’s who post UK based travel content on social media under the username @twinperspectives.<\/p>\n The family explained how they went to Stockholm in Sweden and were surprised at home good it was for children.<\/p>\n The mum said: “The best city break in the world for kids, hands down, is Stockholm. It’s pure wholesome loveliness and there is so much to do.<\/p>\n “Let’s start off with the Open Air Museum of Skansen, which is basically Sweden hundreds of years ago, but it is also so good for kids.<\/p>\n “There is a zoo. We were at the park 10 till 4pm so there is so much to do. It is so incredibly wholesome and of course plenty of sweets.<\/p>\n “Next up is the Vasa Museum, home to the world’s only preserved 17th century ship. There’s a great children’s trail to keep them entertained.<\/p>\n Content cannot be displayed without consent<\/p>\n “This is a pretty mind-blowing museum and you have to go .Next up is the Unibacken Museum, tis is a world of immersive stories dedicated to Astrid Lindgren who wrote Pippi Longstocking.<\/p>\n “Make sure you take the train through the story lands, it is so detailed, my daughter loved this”<\/p>\n The mum then explained that families should keep an eye out for the different metro stations in Stockholm, with the city being known for its art in the metros.<\/p>\n The mum added that there were plenty of free things to do in the city, alongside paid for attractions.<\/p>\n She said: “Aside from paid activities, Stockholm’s playgrounds are another level compared to the UK. Vasa Park is the largest in the city, even comes with bikes and play accessories as well.<\/p>\n “Activities aside, the food is great for kids in Sweden. Obviously there’s meatballs and mashed potato and the famous fika.<\/p>\n “Getting around the city is super easy. All in all one of the easiest yet most exciting city breaks you can do with kids. Obviously it’s not budget friendly but I’d say the activities that are there are well worth the price tag.”<\/p>\n Other parents commented on the video to agree with the twins, with many sharing their own experiences of visiting Sweden.<\/p>\n One person said: “We have family in Sweden but I didn’t even think about revisiting Stockholm with our little ones! I know they’d love the Vasa museum and these are some great other suggestions too.”<\/p>\n A second said: “Ahhh, yes totally agree. The nature and play parks and museums make Sweden a great place for children and families. I\u2019m often asked to put together itineraries for families visiting.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A mum has shared the ‘best’ European City break to take kids on, with amazing attractions such as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":63931,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[83],"tags":[3713,9531,131,132,1413,24203],"class_list":["post-63930","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-stockholm","tag-museums","tag-parenting","tag-stockholm","tag-sweden","tag-travel","tag-zoos"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@dk\/116429044169311410","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63930","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=63930"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63930\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/63931"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=63930"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=63930"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=63930"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
