[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those who have lived in multiple cities in Europe, where would you recommend for a small family who wanted to do a lot of traveling. We were originally thing Paris would be fun and centrally located, but people don’t seem particularly high on it around here. Vienna maybe? We’d like to take our kids as many places as we can during our two year stint.[/quote]

I haven't actually lived there, but how about Utrecht?

It's a pretty, well-organized university town. Even the children would speak some English, and you could easily meet every practical need. I searched really quickly and found many three-bedroom apartments there for less than 2,000 euros.
 
And Utrecht has a big station train that would connect you smoothly with Schiphol (the Netherlands' biggest airport) and every city in Belgium, France and Germany.

I think another great thing about the Netherlands is that it has a great, high-tech health care system. People aren't doing a great job of social distancing there right now, but, generally, the Netherlands is the kind of place that could implement strict social distancing well and quickly, if people there were convinced that strict social distancing was necessary.

Italy is a wonderful, warm place to live, but, right before Covid got out of control, people on Twitter were saying that the Italian health care system would have a hard time handling Covid. They were right.[/quote]
