Travelling with teenage son

Frank Boggins

My Son has just turned 16 and every year for the last 5 or 6 years we traveled to a premier league match but this year I wanna do something different as hes that bit older.

I am just wondering would anyone have any idea of a euro trip for an adult and a teenage son from a sight seeing type of thing and any tips on whats most cost effective.

Please

i would have to say go to see barcelona in nou camp . the quality of players on show can be worth the price of a flight alone .

That's a great trip. Did it a few years ago. Pompeii is brilliant and if he has an interest in history he'll love Rome.

Venice for a couple of days then hop on the train (across the Alps) to Munich to see Bayern, then fly home.

Culture, football and beer!

Or if he has an interest in cars or motorsports a trip to Stuttgart for the mercdes museum or Munich for the BMW museum would be good outings, plus both cities have good public transport and plenty of other things to do.

When you planning the trip for?

If you're cool with him drinking then go to Budapest then get a train to Krakow and/or Berlin. Those parts of Europe are much better than the typical tourist trap spots like Paris or Rome


Edit: if you do go to Italy though I'd agree with Venice, lovely city and people

Depends really what he's into: Munich would be an idea, also for the Olympic park and stadium (obviously not for a football match!) and you could combine it with antouer city, say Prague or Budapest.
