Top 10 cities to visit with children




SINGAPORE (Reuters Life!) - Many cities can be overwhelming for young travellers, but some are as much fun for the kids as the grown-ups.

Lonely Planet's "Travel With Children" guide lists the top 10 cities around the world that are ideal to visit with children. This list is not endorsed by Reuters:




7. COPENHAGEN, DENMARK

Oozes old-world charm, with a compact city center, a lively waterfront and pedestrian-only zones. Thrilling rides at Tivoli Gardens and Bakken, a royal palace and museums designed especially for children will keep you busy. www.visitcopenhagen.com

8. SINGAPORE

Safe, clean and accessible, Singapore is a gentle introduction to the cities of Southeast Asia -- and an excellent jetlag-busting pit stop on the long haul between Europe and Australasia. Also, Sentosa Island with its beaches, butterfly park, dolphin lagoon and underwater world has to be seen to be believed. www.visitsingapore.com

9. SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA

If beaches, swimming pools and numerous ferries aren't enough, there's Sydney Aquarium, Taronga Zoo and the Koala Park Sanctuary, which are all huge hits with the young ones. www.sydney.com.au

10. ROME, ITALY

With some of Italy's best gelato, the impressive Colosseum and Castel Sant-Angelo, spooky catacombs under Via Appia Antica and the green spaces of Villa Borghese, the challenge in Rome is not to do too much. www.romaturismo.it
