Top family-friendly destinations in Italy

Rome

Family holidays in Rome are a no-brainer – the capital is packed with world-famous landmarks and endless things to see and do. Explore the iconic Colosseum, visit the Vatican City, toss coins in the Trevi Fountain, see the sights on a mini train, hang out with animals at Bioparco di Roma and – of course – tuck into a pizza or two.

Sardinia

Sardinia is Italy’s outdoor playground, with loads of activities for kids and adults across the island. Highlights include Costa Smeralda’s beaches, Cagliari’s underground tunnels and dolphin-spotting boat trips from Cala Gonone. A trip on the vintage Little Green Train (Trenino Verde) is always a winner.

Sicily

Sicily is the ultimate family holiday destination in Italy. Start at the beaches of Giardini Naxos, then head up to Taormina – a hilltop town with charming piazzas, trattorias and a Greek amphitheatre. Don’t forget Mount Etna (it’s hard to miss). Hike up the active volcano if you’re brave, or just take the cable car.
