Although the main tourist attractions (and the streets around them) are horrendously busy and we say plenty of massive queues, our trip showed that as an autistic family you can pretty much avoid all this and still have a great time in Paris!  

As a capital city Paris has a comprehensive transport system - with metro trains, overground trains as well as buses.  But which one is best for families with autistic children?

Many people choose to visit Tromso for a couple of days as part of a dream visit to the Arctic Circle. Widely known as the capital of the arctic, Tromso is a gateway to many incredible family experiences, such as the northern lights, dog sledding and kayaking in the midnight sun. We visited Tromso with our autistic kids on a day trip from Sommaroy and found 3 great reasons to love it!

Find out why we thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Dzintari Forest Parkand and were so impressed with its facilities. It was very autism/adhd friendly and the boys had a wonderful time.

We really enjoyed our day trips to Jurmala beach and would recommend it for families with autistic children. The train was super fun and made it easy to get there from Riga. The facilities on the beach (like the changing pods and playground equipment) added to the enjoyment on the day, and meant we enjoyed our picnic lunch and beach games. It was definitely a great way to make lasting memories and spend time together outside having fun!

We loved Bergen. It was the perfect size, compact but with lots for us and our autistic boys to do. I would highly recommend it as destination for families with neurodivergent / autistic / adhd children.
