[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A grand tour of Western Europe seems the obvious option.  London, France + Italy for example.

Wow, how boring is that?[/quote]

Not sure if pp is joking, but hands down you should do Europe if you've never been.[/quote]

OP here, thanks!   We have been to Europe (well, Dh and I have been several times...and my older two have been, but not the younger two) but as individuals, not as a whole family.

A family trip to Europe would be excellent.   I'm thinking that with 6 people, renting a car would be difficult and expensive.   Should we plan to visit just major cities (maybe travel between cities via train?)[/quote]

[b]It's actually going to be far cheaper to rent one large vehicle and drive through Europe than it is to buy six train passes or individual tickets. www.autoeurope.com[/quote][/b]

I second this.  Trains are very expensive in Europe.  My sister lives in Switzerland and when our whole extended family visits her every year, we rent a big van and do lots of road trips.  It's really a blast.  I also agree with pp who said don't stick to just cities.  We've been all over France, Switzerland, and Itlay on our van trips and we love the smaller towns and countryside.  There's nothing like picking up some great food/wine in a small town market and having a picnic among the lavender fields of France, sunflower fields of Italy or spectacular mountains of Switzerland!!  And half the fun is not knowing where you're going and wander country roads.  In the alpine regions of Switzerland, you can find very charming ski accommodations that can host large families.  Also we've had great luck with Air Bnb in Europe.

Good luck and have a great time!!![/quote]
