I need to go to the UK for a couple weeks this summer for dissertation research, and dh and lo will be tagging along. We are thinking we'll take one fun trip over a weekend that we're there to explore a city where we've never been, and would love recommendations!

The list below is somewhat off the top of our heads/the results of google-searching "toddler friendly Europe," lol. So we're open to other ideas! Only criteria are that it's "easy" with a kiddo (ie, walkable or good public transport, activities that she would like, etc) and a quick flight from London.

We would like to go somewhere we haven't been, and so a few cities are off the table: London, Paris, and Amsterdam. And we'd like to spend more time in Italy during another (future) trip--we've been talking about doing a long Italy trip, possibly with extended family, for years...

I'd love to hear your ideas, either for places you've been or are on your bucket lists!
