Where to take kids on a weekend

Travel to the countryside

An affordable way to spend time and a great way to get to know the Grand Duchy. The perfect option if your children love to travel. Put them in the car and let's go.

The easiest way to find accommodation outside the city is to visit a specialized website. There is a huge choice of hotels and campsites where you can stay.

It all depends on how far you are willing to travel and your personal preferences. However, there are some popular places.

Vacation in the city — free of charge

Weekends without travel can be just as productive. If you can't or don't want to get away, it's easy to find things to do in the cities.

Parks and children's playgrounds

They are everywhere in cities. Visiting public parks is completely free, and residents and tourists love to use them. The only requirement is not to disturb the laws and public order.

Other museums

There are many museums and exhibitions in Luxembourg. There is a tram museum, a chocolate museum, a doll museum, and so on. It is better to choose the most suitable place for you in advance. Or just start your excursion through the list.

Interesting in the neighborhood

Luxembourg's neighbors — Belgium, Germany, and France — also have much to offer. There are majestic castles, breathtaking nature, and plenty of entertainment.

Special mention should be made of Disneyland in Paris and Europa-Park in Germany. But these are more for thrill seekers. Although there will be something for children to see here. It should be said right away that very young children should be closely supervised — it is easy to get lost here.

Aventure Parc

Belgian amusement park in Wavre. Guests can choose from a wide variety of activities. From a rope park to laser tag. Want to try ziplining or bungee jumping? Then this is the place for you. Both children and adults will be satisfied.

Address: Rue Sainte-Anne 152, 1300 Wavre, Belgium.

Some alternatives

In fact, the places we have listed are just a drop in the ocean of all the activities for children that exist in the Grand Duchy. It would be impossible to describe all of them in a single article. However, you can always check out the current events and attractions and choose the one that suits you best.
