Hello all, I realize there's a thread below about Copenhagen but I didn't want to hijack it. My family of 4, kids ages 12 and 10, are planning a trip for 2 weeks through Europe during our kids spring break, with an additional week off. We'll be there the last week of March and fist week of April. Our tentative plan is Copenhagen (5 days), Bremen (4 days), and Utrecht (4 days). We plan to use these cities as our base camp and well day trip from there for any sights.
We've done a fair bit of research but I'd love some first hand insight into some "must see" sights. We're hoping to expose our children to new cultures, see really old things, and just take in the Country. I prefer to stay out of the main tourist traps. My wife is an avid watercolor painter so we definitely want to hit up picturesque settings where she can photography/sketch to then have an arsenal of painting canvases when we return. We' like to visit museums, but kid friendly that won't bore my children (it's a delicate balance).
Appreciate any future advice!
