Taking my 13 year old to Europe to encourage travel and learning...suggestions?

One more.. the catacombs in Paris. My 16 year old LOVED them. I did not. A little too creepy for me, but I recognize that they are an amazing site to see. If you want to add this to your already busy trip, please go early. It's easy to get there and just a minute from the Denfert-Rochereau metro and if you beat the crowds, you'll see them in about an hour. However, there is a limit on how many people fit at once, so the wait can be excruciating if you're not in quickly.

Since it's easy to get to and relatively quick if you're early, this could be a good addition to the trip. However it is not a must-see for most people.


Also, don't forget to bring a step counter! It's so much fun to see how miles you've walked. We averaged 25,000 steps per day, but it would have been more if my daughter hadn't wimped out!
