Beach Holiday? Art and Culture Holiday? Lisbon has the best of both ?

If you have kids, you know the situation. The kids want a beach or a pool, the parents want interesting places to go to, once they get tired of the sun and the sand. Mom wants to go shopping, dad wants to go to a football match and the teenage kids wants nightlife.

Most of the time you end up with the easy choice: the beach – if the kids are ok we are ok

Having traveled with kids myself in the 80’s and 90’s I never understood the focus on the kids-needs-only. Holidays should be something that caters to everyone’s interests – something all family members look forward to. 

And I know what I’m talking about, when I say that it isn’t impossible to find destinations that combines it all. And you don’t have to go to Asia or other exotic and ‘cheap’ parts of the world. Lisbon easily competes with all kids friendly destinations and concepts around the world. In my opinion it’s the only city in Europe right now, where you have children friendly city-shopping-&-culture and beaches for all tastes.  

Kids means a lot to us. They are as important to our hotel as all other guests – but not more. And no matter where we go in Lisbon and Portugal I can’t help thinking: How would this place be, if I were traveling with kids.. 

So there are no reasons to look for air b’n’b if you are worried about your kids.

At Tings you can enjoy a drink in the lounge or our garden while your son or daughter plays around without worrying about traffic.
