Multi-generational travel

Multigenerational traveling fills our lives with memorable experiences. It makes the cities we travel to feel like home. And this is why we brought you our top-notch destinations for multigenerational travel — from our multigenerational travel series — to help you pick from Leisure’s A-List Advisors recommendations.

Austria

Austria’s capital Vienna is one of the world’s best destinations for multigenerational travel families. Famous for its cultural events, coffee houses, and historic buildings — Vienna is an excellent choice for any reason.

For instance, the city is welcoming to all age groups and has different activities that will suit every member of your multigenerational family members. Take a tour of the Spanish Riding School to get a feel of the country’s rich history.

Alternatively, you can take your family members on a tour to Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien where you’ll find Vienna’s charming art collection.

The city also provides you with social-distancing friendly spaces that you can visit for an afternoon picnic such as the palace gardens of Pötzleinsdorf.

Safari

Loving animals isn’t age-related — in other words, your multigenerational family will adore traveling to African safaris in Southern or Eastern Africa to see rare animal species that they wouldn’t be able to see elsewhere. Take a tour in a road-based safaris vehicle while wild animals such as lions and tigers surround your car. The experience isn’t only thrilling but will be memorable.

One recommended destination you can consider is the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. Best-known for its wildlife experience — the Serengeti will enable you to take a close look at lions, elephants, and black rhinos. The best time for visiting the Serengeti would be from June to October.

Small Ship Cruise

If you want to try a totally different experience that doesn’t involve many activities and packing then you can consider small ship cruises for your multigenerational travel plan. Unpack once and then each family member can choose his favorite activities that the ship cruise provides.

You’ll have an array of destinations to choose from starting from Europe, Antarctica, and Central America to the Galapagos and many others. Additionally, if your family members love sea animals then they’ll love watching whales in the big blue sea.

Want to make the experience sportier? Try out one of the daily zodiac excursions for a quick adrenaline rush.
