5 Ideas for Traveling with Kids in Italy
Why Italy is great for traveling with kids?
Although we know Italy is famed for its wine and Tuscany abounds with wineries and wine-tasting experiences which aren’t exactly a great outing if you have kids in tow, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy an awesome vacation in Italy for all the family.
Many wine estates and agriturismi have kid friendly activities. Farm animals, swimming pools, plenty of space and countryside, can make for a great outing for all the family.
On a trip to Italy you can combine pleasure, the beauty of the cities and landscapes, the delicious food and the warm sunshine, with world-class cultural and educational activities too! Ancient Roman history is not only great fun for kids, but it provides a broad historical understanding of an enormous ancient empire that impacted the entire world. There’s nothing like seeing it up close.

Finally, the Uffizi galleries are a vast complex of artwork encompassing some of the world’s most important artists and their masterpieces. However, the visit can be long and tiring if you don’t have the right guide to take you through. Artviva guides are specially trained to make the tours entertaining and enlightening. For the kids of course we have to make this even more accessible! Look out for funny tales and crazy stories of some of these wild artists in this shorter visit to the Uffizi galleries for kids and families.

2. Enjoy a stay in an Agriturismo with your kids in Italy
Some countryside estates known as “agriturismi” are very kid friendly, they might even have kids care or childrens’ entertainment!
With your kids, you can meet the farm animals, say hello to the sheep used for making pecorino cheese, pat the donkeys, take part in a pasta workshop or watch a pizza-making demonstration!
