A successful family weekend break comes down to simple logistics: flight times under three hours, straightforward airport transfers and plenty of open space where children can run around between sights.
Valencia — parks, beaches and the Oceanogràfic
Valencia is one of Europe’s easiest cities with children. The traffic-free Turia Gardens wind right through the city to the City of Arts and Sciences and the Gulliver playground, with wide sandy beaches just beyond.
Málaga — short transfers and beachfront strolls
With a 12-minute train ride from the airport to the city centre, a pedestrianised historic heart and La Malagueta beach within walking distance, Málaga keeps travel days stress-free.
