Could be a place, a meal, a little discovery. Anything overrated, you'd skip. Any day trip you'd recommend taking?

Not looking for anything overly touristy.

Somewhere you’d actually look forward to going back to — good food, good atmosphere.

I’ve noticed I tend to anchor my day around one place I want to eat.

Everything else kind of builds around that without much planning.

It slows things down in a way I didn’t expect.

Do you do something similar, or not really?

Not looking for the usual “top 10” spots.

More interested in places that feel a bit under the radar — chef-run, good food, vibes, somewhere you’d actually go back to.

Curious what stood out for you.

I know there are quite a few, but I’d rather find a couple of good ones than try to see them all.

Would love to hear your favourites.

I used to avoid anything that felt too familiar—like I was doing travel “wrong” if it wasn’t completely new.

Now I find myself going back to the same kinds of places, even the same cafés sometimes.

It changes how a place feels over time.

Do you lean into familiarity at all, or always look for something new?

There’s always more you could do than time allows.

Lately, I’ve been skipping a lot more than I used to, even things I thought I “should” see.

I’m starting to trust that I don’t need to do everything for a place to feel complete.

How do you decide what makes the cut?

I’ve done both.

Days with a plan feel productive, but the unplanned ones tend to stay with me more.

Still not sure which I prefer overall.

Where do you land on that?

Hello! We are planning a family trip to Europe with our two kids (4 years old and 1 year old) and would love some recommendations.

Since we’re traveling with such young children, we aren’t looking to tick off every major tourist attraction. We want to prioritize:

Mobility: Easy to get around with a stroller (lifts, ramps, good public transport).

Kid-friendly Culture: Places where locals are welcoming to families and "toddler chaos."

Recreation over Sightseeing: We’re looking for spots with great parks, playgrounds, and interactive museums where the kids can actually run around and play.

Stress-free Pace: Avoiding long queues and crowded tourist traps.

We want a city or country where we can just enjoy the atmosphere and let the kids be kids. Which places exceeded your expectations for a family-focused trip?

Thanks in advance for the help!
