Family Travel - Italy With Kids

Plan An Unforgettable Italian Family Vacation

Traveling to Italy with my kids is a one of my favorite family holidays! Children love Italy! Especially the food - but there is so much to see and do as well! Some of the most famous attractions in the world are in Italy - these will be sure to create lasting memories for your kids and make history come alive!

Traveling in Italy with a baby or toddler is easy to do. Italians love children, especially babies- so expect lots of cooing and ahhing over your little one! Diapers, milk and formula are readily available. Bring a baby carrier for when you sight see or a lightweight umbrella stroller. Many streets are cobblestone or have small sidewalks so a baby knapsack would be more ideal to use. There are lots of pedestrian only piazzas (or squares) for toddlers to run around in.



Children love eating all the delicious Italian food. Pizza, pasta, fresh bread and gelato are a hit with the kids. My kids get excited for weeks before we go to Italy -just about what they are going to eat! Ice cream in the shape of a pizza is one of the standouts!! Check out these delicious Italian food for kids.

We've designed a downloadable travel book about Italy for kids full of activities to keep them entertained and learning throughout the trip! Italy Fly It Quiet Activity Packs are filled with fun travel games that teach children about the language, culture, currency and more!

Here is a video for your kids to watch about Italy!
