Tips for travelling to Lanzarote with children
If you plan to travel to Lanzarote with children, we have some recommentations for you. Them will help you make the experience pleasant for everyone:
- Rent a car: If you are going to travel with children, a good idea is to rent a car to go around Lanzarote. Many companies even allow you to rent certified child seats. This is because getting around on public transport with children as a tourist can be complicated.
- We recommend all-inclusive lodging packages: Many hotels offer packages that include 3 or four meals a day, even with a swimming pool. If you have children, this could be a great advantage. You will save a little money, rest, and enjoy the trip to the fullest. These types of packages are always designed for families.
- Downtown accommodation: the hotel, apartment, or house you rent for vacations must be close to a pharmacy, a supermarket, and an area where children can play. Two excellent areas to arrive with children in Lanzarote are Playa del Carmen and Playa Blanca.
- Plan activities for everyone: if you are going to travel as a family with children, you must plan activities that everyone enjoys. So, keep in mind the age of the children and their tastes. You can also give him choices of activities and let him help you decide.
- Give them moments to rest: if you travel with children, you must allow them to rest enough. If they are babies or toddlers, we recommend you bring their stroller, so that when they get tired, you can move them more easily.
- Always have toys or coloring books on hand: If you are going to a restaurant, on a plane, or simply the children are bored, it is always good that you are prepared. He brings his favorite toy, some white paper, and some colored pencils. This in most cases helps them to entertain themselves.
