“Where to spend holidays with children in Italy?” - Many tourists wonder when they get a Schengen visa. Of course, this European country with a rich and ancient culture and wonderful Mediterranean nature attracts adult travelers. Freed from the volcanic ash of Pompeii, the ancient city of Rome, romantic Venice, the Renaissance Florence, Sicily, about which so many gangster novels have been written ... But how to explain all these charms to a three-year-old peanut, for whom museums are just meaningless and boring walking around the rooms? If you do not want to hear whining all the way, and want to give pleasure to all members of your family, you need to worry about the choice of the travel route.
Wonderful sandy beaches with a gradual entry into the calm sea, special children's museums, many water parks, oceanariums, zoos and attractions with attractions - all this is Italy. Holidays with children here are at the highest level - in fact, in this southern country, kids are usually spoiled. Most hotels in seaside resorts are designed for a comfortable stay of small guests. There for young guests there is not only a children's menu in restaurants, cribs and high chairs, but also a special entertainment program.
In almost any four- and even more so in five-star hotels, when you arrive with your children in Italy, you come across a service such as a “mini club”. This means that you can record your child in a group for free (depending on his age), and specially trained animators will be engaged in it during the daytime. If parents want to devote a romantic evening to each other or go on an excursion, then in order not to tire the baby, they have the opportunity to hire a professional nanny or baby sitter at the hotel.
Holidays in Italy with children - this is not only a pastime on the beach. No matter where you rest - on the Adriatic Sea or on the Tyrrhenian Sea , everywhere there is surely a water park nearby where not only kids, but also their parents can famously slide down the hill. There are in abundance and entertainment complexes with various attractions. Do not think that Disneyland is only near Paris: we recommend visiting Ethnaland in Sicily. In addition to the interesting zoo, there are more than 20 tracks and slides. The most favorite - crocodile - rafting in a 9-meter cake on an artificial turbulent river.
Holidays in Italy with children of high school age are unthinkable without visits to the adventure park "Jungle Adventure". There, teens can try themselves as Tarzan or Indiana Jones. However, trails of different degrees of difficulty can be suitable for children 10-13 years old. If you are staying in Lazio, your child will surely enjoy in the entertainment complex "Gommalandia". A vacation in Rimini or Ravenna is unthinkable without at least once visiting Mirabilandia, the third largest (after Disneyland and Port Aventura with Salou (Spain) amusement park.
Not far from Rimini is another iconic place - "Italy in miniature." This complex features 270 world attractions (mainly Italian). All models are executed in a scale from 1:50 to 1:25. So that the child does not get tired while traveling around "Italy", he is transported from city to city by a monorail train. And on the Venice Grand Canal, a gondola will drive past the most famous yards. Holidays in Italy with children do not exclude visiting special museums. In Florence it’s “Il Museo dei ragazzi” (museum for children), in Genoa - “City of the Kids” (Citta dei Bambini), in Milan - a toy museum, in Parma - a castle of dolls made of wood.
