[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 would avoid bigger cities.  That's just me.  After a while, they are all the same and if you think you'll be drawn into a "foreign"culture living in a major city, think again.  [/quote]

I would recommend Lyon. Much more pleasant than Paris, nicer weather, well located to travel Too many places in Europe, also a diverse and dynamic city. [/quote]

+1. I lived in Lyon for 2 years and absolutely loved my time there. Not touristy, beautiful town and weather, fantastic food, high quality of living. There’s a great energy there. It’s really nicely located between Paris, the south of France, and the Alps/Switzerland as well.

I think every day of my time there and dream of moving back. [/quote]

Brussels is very centrally locates. Vienna is amazing. I lived in the Netherlands in a small town, and it’s amazing how good the public transport infrastructure is. I was able to travel by car and train / plane to many places in Europe particularly that they had last minute very deep discounts on flights. So we’d just check the day before and choose destination by price.  Be mindful though of language barrier though, and if you speak German / French / Dutch it would make your life easier.[/quote]
