Filled with history and culture, London boasts entertainment and attractions for all ages.
The London Eye opened in 2000 as the tallest Ferris wheel in the world. The massive structure continues to offer one of the best views in the city.
The Tower of London is another locale likely to please the whole family. Once a royal palace, a prison and a castle, the Tower now offers affordable tours sure to inspire wonder among kids and history-fascinated adults.
Stick to the more traditional tourist activities in London, like the changing of the guards at Buckingham and Windsor palaces. Touring these will allow kids and adults to see some of the most storied buildings in London.
Candy connoisseurs are sure to find something they love on this multihour walking chocolate tour of London. The tour begins in the Mayfair neighborhood and allows tourists to sample six chocolates, learn about the sweet’s history and discover London by foot.
If a 2.5-hour walk is a little much for some members of the party, younger travelers are sure to enjoy Shrek’s Adventure. This show takes fans to the world of Dreamworks’ movie about an animated ogre.
No matter the differences in ages of those traveling to London, there are activities sure to please the whole group. Different tours examining different periods of history are just as plentiful as kid-friendly playgrounds, shows and museums.

May 6, 2024Explore Portugal on a Wine Tasting Tour with a Touch of History
All it takes is one glance at the grounds of Quinta Dona Maria, which includes a grand villa and surrounding gardens, to realize wine tasting in Portugal comes with a good dose of history. The vineyard is located in Estremoz, just northeast of the first-century Roman ruins found in Evora. In 1718 King João V built this estate for his lover, Dona Maria. When she died, the current owner’s ancestors purchased the land and have been making wine ever since. Taste the wine, which is terrific, especially the full-bodied red Dona Maria Grand Reserve. Then venture inside a building that stores large amphora vases, including one dating back to the 1200s.
