    I know everybody expects different things from a holiday - but are you sure that a city break is suitable for a 3 year old?

    I know that when we've done city breaks (Dublin, Barcelona etc) we 'hit the ground running' and are on the go all day, which doesn't really sound great fun for a 3 year old.

    You've posted on the overseas board so I assume you're up for flying, Eurostar or ferry & drive.

    It just seems a lot of travelling for a tot for 3 days.

    Didn't think it was that woolly a question ...

    We're looking at a European city break so a short flight. This isn't a problem for our 3 year old as we've taken much longer flights already and he loves going on the plane.

    We're just not sure about which city to go to as, travelling with a young child, we need family friendly activities.

    But you still havent answered the questions, how can anyone help you if they dont know where from, for how long and how much you've got to play with, the 1st step to getting help is helping yourself

    Maybe the pretty red lights would entertain the 3 year old. :rotfl:

    OP
    Phatbear does have a point about the limited amount of information you've supplied.

    What sort of activities for your 3 year old?
