Family destinations in Italy

Italy's biggest lake and its best-kept family secret — a mild-climate playground combining a beach-like lakeshore with Italy's top theme park.

A sun-baked island of Greek temples, an active volcano and warm beaches — big, varied and rich in family adventure and hearty food.

A postcard coastline of pastel cliff-top villages and blue sea — dramatic, relaxing and a scenic family base for beaches and boat trips.

Rolling vineyards, medieval hilltop towns and gentle countryside — a relaxed rural base where families slow down between the art cities.

Gritty, vibrant Naples beside the frozen-in-time ruins of Pompeii — home of pizza and one of the most vivid history lessons a child can walk through.

The eternal open-air history lesson — gladiator arenas, ancient ruins and pizza-and-gelato piazzas that bring the past alive for kids.

The cradle of the Renaissance in a compact, walkable package — world-class art, hilltop views and Tuscan food, easy to explore on foot with kids.

A real-life floating fairytale — no cars, just canals, bridges and boats, endlessly magical for children even before the gelato appears.
