Teenagers G
iving teens the travel bug from an early age can inspire a lifetime of adventure, but convincing them to look up from
their screens or social media apps to appreciate somewhere new isn’t always the easiest task. They’ll need plenty of activities that get their blood pumping or enriching cultural experiences that broaden their horizons. Teens like a little freedom, so places they can explore independently but safely will help them learn valuable life skills in how to navigate a new environment. And if they just can’t resist logging on to social media to stay in touch with friends, a destination with views worth capturing on camera is a bonus.

Active in Montenegro “Last summer I took my family to Montenegro. We weren’t sure what to expect, but we had such a good time; my 14-year-old son was ready to stay there and not come home, probably because he was so well fed! He’s an active boy, so he got really into the hikes in Prokletije and rafting down the river. He even enjoyed being away from the Wi-Fi in a remote mountain eco-village. I’d go back in a heartbeat.” Sam Buck, product manager, Families
Worldwide Book it: Families Worldwide sells a seven-night Montenegro Adventure tour from £2,245 per adult and £2,045 per child. Includes all meals, transfers, listed activities and flights, based on select August departures.

The Italian job “During a family holiday at the Poiano Resort in Lake Garda with my teenage twins, we took lots of trips to explore: a cable car ride to the top of Mount Baldo to drink in the views at the lake’s northern tip, a coach to Verona to marvel at its amphitheatre and a ferry to the charming town of Sirmione. We alternated these with playing tag in the Olympic-sized pool, games of padel (who knew this was so much fun?) and wandering through Garda’s colourful markets, gorging on the most delicious ice creams we’d ever tasted.”
