ENGLAND, UK · YEAR-ROUND
London
One of the world's greatest cities — and it's surprisingly brilliant with kids.
Why we love it
—The history is everywhere and it's alive — the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, the crown jewels in person
—Highly walkable with beautiful parks and green spaces woven throughout the city
—The Tube is one of the easiest metro systems in the world — totally manageable with kids
—Princess Diana's Memorial Playground in Kensington Gardens is genuinely special and a must-do with young kids
—A dream destination for Harry Potter fans — platform 9¾, the filming locations, the bookshops
—The architecture, the double-decker buses, the red phone boxes — it delivers on every iconic image you've ever seen
Our tip
Don't just do the highlights — give yourself time to wander neighborhoods. Notting Hill, Covent Garden, and South Bank all offer something different and are fantastic with kids. And if you're even a little bit of a Harry Potter fan, Warner Bros. Studio Tour is a full day experience worth building the whole trip around.

"What's the best hotel?" is one of the most common questions and also the least useful place to start. Luxury travel is about fit, timing, and how well the trip is planned before you ever board the plane. This guide covers what that actually looks like across three phases: before you book, building the itinerary, and on the ground. It includes a pre-trip planning checklist with timelines, questions worth asking before you book anything, a glossary of terms that actually matter, and the real reason over-scheduling kills a luxury trip just as fast as under-planning. For anyone spending real money on travel and wanting it to feel effortless, not just expensive.
Want to book your own vacation but still have someone in your corner if something goes sideways? This is exactly that. You control the flights, resort selection, and payment schedule through Funjet directly. Morgan stays connected through your booking link and sends you the same tips, guides, and tools shared with full-service clients. Private transfer options explained, insurance options broken down, and pro tips for international trips so you're not learning lessons the hard way at the airport. You've got the wheel. This just makes sure the trip is actually planned right before you leave.
Save this before you pack a single thing. Entry requirements vary by country and they change. Budget airlines like Ryanair charge steep fees for bags that don't meet their size limits. Your bank card will get flagged if you don't call ahead. WhatsApp is how tour operators and transfer drivers will reach you, so set it up before you land. Google Translate's camera feature reads menus in real time with no Wi-Fi needed. This guide covers all ten things that consistently trip up first-time Europe travelers, so you can skip the learning curve and just go.
