Austria is undoubtedly one of the most scenic and historically rich countries in Europe. It is a paradise for culture and adventure-loving families, no matter what season you visit and how old your kids are. Start your trip in Vienna, with its rich musical and intellectual history.

No matter the season (except, you know, when it’s -30 degrees out…), my kids can’t get enough of Edmonton’s playgrounds.
