You can't please everyone. Is this true with your family too? :-) What is the scope of your vacation? Just enjoyment or you want your kids to learn as well? Of course if you have only one kid or they have the same age, things are easier. But what if you have childen of different age?

Kids have exceptional learning capacities of all sorts at any age. They absorb everything that happens to them and such moments might contribute to the formation of their character. However, teenagers retain much more from their travel than infants, thus for them it would be a much more memorable experience.


Therefore, if you are planning an holiday that will remain in your children's head forever, spend your best effort for those aged 6 years up. The yourger ones will enjoy it as well but they will profit from it in other ways.


Travel can be complementary to their school programs. Indeed, learning on field by be much stronger and easier than on a chair in their class. For instance, Taking a Colosseum and Ancient Forum tour in Rome might be of great help to their history formation much more that a trip to the Cinque Terre.

Choose your tours and activities based on them

Italy is very diverse and offers a lot, from breathtaking natural environments to culturally densed cities, from fun sandy beaches to delicious food production areas. Choose before your depart the focus of your trip and if you want to experience just a single aspect of Italy or a bit of all .

It is probably the best solution to combine a bit of everything from city sightseeing to natural sceneries, from tasting local food to relax in quaint locations.

Of course, babies and infants need more care than teens. In that case you might need to be close to a market or a pharmacy during your travel. Italy is one of the most advanced countries in the world but in some rural areas opeing times of shops might not be the same as home.

When you have a lot of choice you might become stressed. You might want to choose an easier trip this year and a more educational one in two or three years.
