Italy is long. It's best to travel one way if you'd like to cover ground, instead of spending time retracing steps, i.e. fly into Rome and out of Venice and vice versa. The most popular destinations with kids in Italy are Rome, Tuscany (includes Florence and Siena), Venice, the Amalfi Coast, and Lake Como.
The best time to visit Italy for those traveling on a budget is the tourist off-season from November 1st to December 14th, and from December 24th to March 31st.
Italians love children, so you'll feel the love from them as you journey around the country. You'll also get help if you need it. Italy has something and somewhere for all interests (give examples – sports, art, fashion, architecture, history, food, etc). Italy is a safe place to travel with kids (use common sense).
Since the rise of the Roman Empire, Italian art, architecture, and culture have had an influence around the world. Famed Italian painters include Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. Italy is also at the heart of the Catholic Church, which is governed from Vatican City, a city-state surrounded by Rome.
In Italy, students attend classes Monday through Saturday. Most school days begin at 8:30 am and end at 1:30 pm. Students generally return home for lunch. Italian students can choose which type of high school they would like to attend.
Best Time to Travel with KidsBringing young kids along while traveling is the perfect way to create memories that will last a lifetime. Kids between the ages of 6-9 are the ideal age for family trips. They are old enough to form lasting memories but still young enough to be excited by new experiences.
April to June offers the best weatherOften considered the best time to visit, spring offers the ideal mix of good climate and bearable tourism flows. Nature blooms as the snow melts in the mountains and the rolling hills of the central Italian countryside come to life after the chilly winter.
Summer (June – August) is peak season in Italy. Peak season, particularly the months of July and August (and even extending into the first two weeks of September), is generally considered a very busy and expensive time to visit Italy's cities and major tourist areas like the Amalfi Coast and Cinque Terre.
