The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Wife has a few Euro work trips later this year and wants to tack on a family getaway. Would this be a good time with a three year old? I assume it’s a lot of sitting around in the warm and eating good stuff.

Positano/Capri is absolute paradise

if you're able to leave your child with a parent state-side would be better for Positano/Capri ... a lot of steep hills - Positano is on the cliffs, so it's nice to take a walk down to the shoreline through the town, and then back up to your cliffside hotel - but it's more of an adult scene ... it's a finer-dining experience, and i think some of the restaurants might not accept children that young ... Capri itself is basically a small mountain out of the sea, you walk up, you walk around, you walk down ... it's beautiful, was vacation home to roman emperors, has amazing yachts pull up ... so there can be a lot of sitting in the warm and eating good stuff, but not really good terrain for age 3 ... would be better to go somewhere flat, and where kids have more room to run around and be loud ... i would say like age 8 and up for Positano/Capri prob fine ... Italy in general is very kid friendly, though this is a spot that is better suited for adults

you could hit a beach in spain with a 3 year old and do whatever you want
but no food is available from 3pm to 9pm because they are all asleep/perverts

Haha, I asked my wife about this since she just spent the week in Madrid. She couldn’t comment though, as all dinners were catered tapas deals, and the one sit down was at a Michelin place where the plates just kept coming.
At the latter place, whenever someone dripped red wine on the tablecloth, a staff member would appear out of nowhere and cover it with a white sticker lol.

believe it or not, but Geneva, Switzerland one of the most kid-friendly places i've seen in europe
the Swiss are a bit uptight, but it's the French part, and they have more of a soul
the town is built around the corner of lake geneva, there is a little beach for babies and toddlers by the main drag, snack bar, beers, the water is crystal clear, impeccably clean, the town sells chocolate everywhere, a lot of ability to hang outdoors and for kids to run around, great park right in the middle of town. first place i ever saw bunch bikes in major use

Madrid is nice, more upscale. Barcelona is a hell hole
but in madrid they are older-school and you still can't find food from 3-9 ... and it is inland, in the summer it is hot af
but it has a great look to it ...
barcelona has whore bars dotted around where you can find *something* to eat ... although the equivalent of tourist trap food ... it also has a million english tweens there to 'learn spanish' ... and lots of AIDS

I’ve been to Zurich no thanks $$$
yes, Suisse is expensive...
Amboise, France is beautiful and kid friendly
would not recommend paris with a 3 year old
but if you can get to a nice provincial wine town, with a couple restaurants, laid back, chill
your euro gets you a lot of bang for the buck ... high quality of food, the simple basic stuff tastes great. and wine there is inexpensive and high quality, low sulfites... wine is tripled taxed to arrive in the states, and they add all that shit to it to survive transport ... and smaller producers never get exported

Might do Germany, the smaller towns where my people come from. They are efficient in all things, including food service. Then my kid can say she visited The Motherland.
