  1. It’s surprising how much children pick-up about places that they learn about at school. Not surprising that London, Rome and Paris are top of the list. Once kids get a taste for a place at school they want to see it for themselves.

  2. Marrakech is number 6 in table but you’ve got to decide whether it’s the right place for your kids. It’s crowded and often hot. But also very different. If they’re up to it the city is some education.

  3. Food has to be one of the reasons pushing Dubai up the table. You’ll find something for even the fussiest eaters in Dubai. There are so many fast food outlets and almost every nationality’s food can be found somewhere in Dubai. Kids ain’t gonna go hungry in Dubai.

  4. To be honest, with a little bit of planning and a willingness to be flexible you could give kids a great time in any one of these 20 cities.
