2 ~~~ Weird world fashion: around the world in 20 costumes Mardi Gras, Sydney Dressing up as a form of protest has an illustrious history and LGBT Pride festivals have raised this to an art form. Though many are now celebratory as well as political, their origins lay in the struggle for LGBT rights, and when Sydney’s first event was held in 1978 it was met with violence and resistance. Now, it is one of the biggest events in the city’s calendar, and a spectacular display of high camp and costume. www.roughguides.com/articles/weird-world-fashion-around-the-world-in-20-costumes/Updated: July 2021 |

7 ~~~ The 30 best places to go with kids To help you find a destination that’s fun for the grown ups as well as suitable for little ones we’ve put our expert travel heads together to collate a list of the top 30 places to go with kids. No matter whether you want a relaxing break or something a little more adventurous, there’s somewhere for everyone in this list. www.roughguides.com/special-features/the-30-best-places-to-go-with-kids/Updated: 10 May 2021 31. The Places to Go with Kids Guide: Top Travel Tips OK so you've read all the way through the article and you're now armed with a list of places to go with kids in tow. But what about getting there? We've all been on an airplane with a crying baby or unruly toddler and felt the parent's pain. And we're not going to lie: long-haul travel with the whole clan can be challenging, but there are some ways to make family travel go more smoothly. Firstly, if your children are old enough, get them involved in trip planning – talk to them about where you're going and ask them to think about a special day out or activity that they'd like to do while you're there. If your kids are crafty, think about a scrapbook that they can start to work on before you leave, and add to while you're away. Let your kids pack their own mini suitcases or backpacks with games and favourite toys. And don't feel guilty about letting your kids watch movies on the flight! Traveling with a baby or toddler? First of all, give yourself a break. Many of your fellow travellers will have been in your position and understand the stresses and strains. Get to the airport early so you don't have the additional stress of being late for your flight. Different airlines have different rules about free seats or discounts for children, so do your research and you could save yourselves money. Be realistic about what you can see or achieve in a day and enjoy the downtime as much as your exploring time. Young children will take a while to adapt to new timezones, temperatures and cuisines, so be patient with them (and your partner!). To book your flight, check our best tips here. |
