Travelling with your little ones can be hectic so here's a list of the least relaxing European cities to avoid when you're going on holiday.

The list of city break destinations in Europe is enormous. Whether you’re looking for an adventurous long weekend away on the continent or a relaxing one, there’s something for everyone. Some spots are less relaxing than others. And one place in particular that a lot of us call home has made the list of least relaxing city breaks in Europe. You guessed it, Dublin has been ranked tenth on the undesirable list. Considering the top touristy things to do in our capital include having a drink or two in Temple Bar, riding the Viking Splash Tour and walking on the Croke Park skyline we can see why. London, Paris, and Amsterdam also made SpaSeekers’ list and we’re not surprised really. All of these cities, including Dublin, are constantly buzzing. It can be hard to find a quiet spot in each to just chill out. The cities were ranked based on how busy they are, how happy the locals are, the living standards, how good the public transport is, the amount of coastline close by, and how chaotic the airport is.
