Sightseeing with children

Many people like to do a certain amount of sightseeing when on holiday and if you have children this can often be made a little difficult. Sometimes sightseeing involves a lot of walking and for smaller children, this simply may be too much for them and after less than an hour they may be feeling too tired to carry on.

If you are planning some sightseeing when on holiday with children, especially young ones, then you need to plan ahead a little. Rather than just going off on a walk, try and plan out your route and check out the terrain. It may be that you can take a pushchair to where you want to go, allowing the child to sit down and relax whilst you power on.

Sightseeing can be boring for children, so try and plan in some activities for them to do along the way. It may be something as simple as stopping for an ice cream, or building a den in a forest, or even sightseeing by going to museums or working shops / streets to view the history of a place.
