When deciding where to go, it\u2019s important to make sure that the city has plenty of activities that will appeal to your parents (and you!) and that it\u2019s easy to get around (especially if your parents have any physical challenges). Here are four cities where you&#8217;ll find cheap airfare and have plenty of activities to please parents with all different types of interests.<\/p>\n<h2>Paris, France<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-97190254 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Untitled-design-74.jpg\" alt=\"Mother and adult daughter are doing selfie in park in summer going crazy and laughing.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Untitled-design-74.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Untitled-design-74-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Untitled-design-74-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to find someone who doesn\u2019t like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/flights\/cheap-flights-to-paris-par-france\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Paris<\/a>, which means it\u2019s a pretty safe bet for the parents. Even if Mom or Dad has been there before, the great thing about Paris is that there are so many things to do (and new museums, festivals, and restaurants cropping up all the time). From a Sunday stroll through the Jardin du Luxembourg to a creepy Catacombs tour to a night out at the Com\u00e9die Fran\u00e7aise, you\u2019re sure to find something to please even the most well-traveled parents. Paris is also home to some of the best public transportation in the world. If your parents aren\u2019t able to handle the steep M\u00e9tro staircases, you can always find a cab or ride-share app to take you to your destination.<\/p>\n<h2>Chicago, Illinois<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-97190255 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Untitled-design-75.jpg\" alt=\"The Chicago River and downtown Chicago skyline USA\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Untitled-design-75.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Untitled-design-75-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Untitled-design-75-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/flights\/cheap-flights-to-chicago-chi-illinois\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chicago<\/a> is an easy and relatively inexpensive flight from most major U.S. cities. Once you\u2019re there, you\u2019ll find plenty of things to keep the folks busy. There\u2019s nothing quite like the energy of a Cubs game at Wrigley Field. Your parents will be impressed by the world-class Shedd Aquarium and the iconic <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adlerplanetarium.org\/#VwGurvDm8EPS075j.97\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Adler Planetarium<\/a>. Ravinia is an outdoor concert venue just north of the city that hosts international acts that your parents will enjoy. Of course, no trip to Chicago is complete without checking out Millennium Park, home of the iconic \u201cBean\u201d sculpture and other permanent art installations (there are free outdoor concerts here in the summer months as well). Driving and parking can be a challenge in downtown Chicago, so opt for public transportation, cabs, or transportation apps.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>In need of a getaway?
