We spent three weeks in search of the best playgrounds in Innsbruck. Here are our top picks: Rapoldi Park Slightly off the beaten path, but still close to downtown Innsbruck. The playground was also conveniently located within a huge park next to our Airbnb, so the kids could roam without Read more…
One thing we learned very early on in traveling with our kids was that renting apartments or houses is way better than staying in a hotel. (We had a particularly horrible hotel experience when Ali was 7 months old.) Sometimes a hotel is the only option, but for long stays Read more…
