Holidays with teenagers in Europe
Bring all those school geography lessons to life with family holidays across Europe. If you’re looking for inspiration, Portugal is one of the best teenage holiday destinations Europe has to offer. Think exhilarating jeep safaris along the rocky Algarve coast, and a 63-metre high cable car ride in Porto.
If your teens are young urban explorers, city breaks to Paris, Rome, or Prague are sure to satisfy the urge for metropolitan discovery. If they’re happier chilling out on the beach, you’ll find no shortage of soft sands in coastal hotspots. Try Spain’s famous Costa del Sol or Egypt’s Sharm el Sheikh resort.
Holidays with teenagers in the UK
Holidays for teenagers don’t have to mean hopping over to the continent. We offer some great local options for family holidays with teenagers, from the Channel Islands to Northern Ireland. With a 20-minute taxi from Belfast, your teens could be whizzing down Ireland’s first alpine coaster at 25mph.
If Scotland’s more your thing, how about a visit to Glasgow’s McLennan Arch? It’s one of the most Insta-worthy sites in the city, so posing for pics is a must. Or what about Inverness, where it’s a quick 25-minute drive down the road to Loch Ness and the mysteries that lie beneath.
If your teens want to experience a different culture, think Jersey. It’s closer to France than England, so there’s a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’ about it. Bike-loving teens will enjoy getting out on the huge network of 15mph ‘green lanes’; one of the best ways to see the island.
Top tips for choosing a teen-approved hotel
Remember the days when the kids would want to hold your hand, or be carried everywhere? Well now that they’re teens, they’ll want a little more independence. No teenager on holiday wants to spend every waking moment with mum and dad, so it’s a good idea to find ways to give them some space.
A hotel with a ‘teen zone’ is a really easy way to do this. They can join in with activities, or just hang out with kids their own age, and you’ll rest easy knowing they’re safe nearby. Resort-style hotels are great, too, with pools, shops, and entertainment all on-site so they won’t need to venture off alone.
Keep your eyes peeled for family suites, too. Even single parent families will appreciate having a little more room to spread out in. You can enjoy your own space, and have a little more privacy.
Your holiday questions, answered
The best holidays for teenagers are those that mix together a bit of everything, so there’s loads of variety. Think sports on the beach, cool sights, and a little bit of quality family time for good measure.
In Larnaca, Cyprus for example, you can spend a morning in the shallow waters off palm-lined Finikoudes Beach before walking out to see the salt lake flamingos. Take in an evening of live music on the promenade. The next day, how about a walk around the 12th-century castle walls before hitting the waterparks?
There can be a big difference between what a 13-year-old finds interesting, and what a 17-year-old wants to do, right? Younger teens may be happy splashing around in the sea, while the bigger kids may be more into checking out live music in the local town. Our holidays keep everyone happy.
If you’re looking for holidays for 17-year-olds that your younger kids will also love, take a look at our waterpark holiday deals. Places like Antalya, Turkey and Corfu, Greece, have huge waterparks with everything from simple slides to giant flumes. It’s great for keeping everyone smiling, at any age.
Both options can be great for families travelling with teens. Self catering can be an excellent choice if you’re looking to keep your costs down. Pick up something tasty from the local market, and teens can whip themselves up some low-cost snacks through the day to tide them over until dinner time.
If your teens seem to be bottomless pits that you struggle to fill up, all inclusive can work out brilliantly. With an all inclusive package, food and drinks are completely free, giving your teens the option to grab a bite when they’re peckish. And they won’t have to think about local currency.
Travelling outside of the school holidays is usually a little cheaper, but if your teens are still in full-time education, don’t panic. With our exclusive school holiday deals, you can grab a cool teen holiday for a bargain rate. Think about getting away during the spring and autumn breaks for the best prices.
For affordable fun, remember you don’t need to jet off all over Europe to give the kids a holiday they’ll remember. Places like Edinburgh offer everything from dungeons to spooky ghost tours. But if a trip abroad is a must, you’ll find top deals to teen-friendly spots in Spain, Turkey, and more.
