10 days in italy with kids

Looking for a glorious country to explore with kids? Italy might be just what you need.

People are patient and accommodating and there’s no shortage of things to do, from treasure-hunting in Roman ruins to castle-building on sandy beaches.

Add brilliant food to the mix and you’ve got the perfect recipe for an unforgettable family trip.

What makes Italy good for kids?

There are relatively few child-specific sights in Italy but museums and visitor attractions generally provide free or discounted admission for children.

Many also cater to young minds with smartphone apps, touchscreen gadgets, audio guides and dedicated tours.

Eating out is a breeze too. Children are welcome in most restaurants and with pizza, pasta and gelato on the menu, good times are guaranteed.

Kids’ menus are rare but it’s fine to ask for a mezza porzione (half portion).

Getting around can be hard work in cities where you’ll have to contend with steps, cobbled streets and darting scooters – not ideal if you’re pushing a stroller.
